Status on MK construction

[annandmark]

Wondering about the status of the construction at MK and effect on the park. We were at MK last July and you could start to see some consstruction. Much of the Fantasylad area was walled off which wasn't too disruptive, just not so pretty. Anyone know where this stands? We'll be visiting in August!

Still under construction, Dumbo has been moved to toontown but the fantasyland area will be under construction for a while. There are plans to open parts of it this fall but it wont be finished for a while.

What about Main Street? Are there still several scrims up?

There are just some construction walls up near the bakery; Everything else has been taken down. Finally!

easywdw.com posts lots of frequent photo updates to show you the states of things like construction, crowds, new stuff, and such. The FL expansion and scrim shrouded Main St. buildings are a frequent subject.

The base image is somewhat old (the construction is now farther along on most projects) but, this offers a view of the layout and position of the new Fantasyland area.

I think, and correct me if I'm wrong, that the bakery walls, which actually jut out onto Main St., are there mostly so they have a roof from which to project onto the castle for the nighttime shows. I'd guess they'll stay there until thats over.

I don't think that's the case. There were no construction walls around the bakery when I was there last Dec, and they were doing the projections at that time. The projections are coming from multiple angles anyway to keep from having shadows around the different contours of the castle.

Here's a photo report from WDW News Today with lot of FL expansion construction photos from last week that shows pretty well how things are coming along.
