Construction is well underway. The bridge is sitting there onsite already.

Thanks! I was trying to check the sites that usually post updates on builds and hadn't see anything in a while.

I think they did a nice job here. But I'm a sucker for deco.

Looks like BlogMickey added some more photos to the story after the initial tweet, as well as a video overview of the store

Here is the latest images from Bioreconstruct, from the 20th. You can see the actual bridgle on the ground in the first picture, between the two port-a-potties:

I always feel much better when a walking bridge waiting to be installed is safely protected by 2 porta potties!

When it says Theatre District, does that mean near Animation Courtyard (Voyage of Little Mermaid, Doisney Junior and Launch Bay), Sunset Boulevard (Beauty and the Beast, Lightning McQueen and Fantasmic?) or Echo Lake (Frozen, Indy, Sounds Dangerous with Drew Carrey/Olaf Meet & Greet) Just hoping it is not Muppets

Nobody really knows right now.

I would think it means either the Animation Courtyard or Echo Lake - since you would think it would be relatively close to the new ride. I doubt the Sunset Blvd area.

My guess, and it’s just a guess, is that it might be going in that theatre that held Path of the Jedi. It’s been closed our last few visits, so I’m assuming they’re done with it maybe?

I think that makes sense and if I had to bet on a spot, it would be there ... and that area as the Theater district, you are around the corner from the Chinese Theater, have the Frozen show, not far from Mickey and Friends in Red Carpet meet and greet, etc.

Though someone in a facebook thread through out the idea of it replacing the Muppets 3d movie which sort of scared me

That theater just seems too big to hold what seems like it's going to be a video loop of cartoon shorts.

I doubt it’ll be in Muppets. They just rethemed that whole area, and it’s still in operation as a show. The Path of the Jedi has been shuttered for ages, and I’ve seen some posts about the crappy condition of the theatre, so it’s likely gone the way of Stitch in MK...done but they’re not admitting it publicly until they’ve got something viable to replace it. The Mickey Shorts would be the easiest/cheapest possible redo for the Path space. It’s pretty much unthemed at the moment and it’s already a theatre. A paint job and maybe some new seats and it’s good to go.

Have you seen the size of the theatre in Imagination? And that’s just running Pixar shorts. Same concept.

I am thinking near One Man's Dream, but hopefully not One Man's Dream
