Did they start moving dirt and groundwork way too early for this or something?

No, they piled up earth on the construction site last year to compact the ground. Looks like they have recently started to remove it so they may be starting to ramp up construction.

At the top of the picture by the crane you can see that they have removed the temporary bridge that was used to access the parking lot construction. This will be replaced by a permanent bridge to connect the hotel to parking.

Looks like they just karate chopped it into two!

Nope. They used a light saber.

Well and we have to remember this is only a two story hotel correct? I imagine this goes up pretty fast and the majority of the work will be inside with all of the tech stuff.

There is supposed to be room for expansion to the hotel as well though,

There is? Where would the expansion be located?

Anyone know the capacity of the hotel? It seems quite small to me.

Another question: How are the spaceship/buses going to travel to Baatu and enter the land? Anyone know where that
route will be? I guess I thought they'd be on an overpass and unload somewhere at the back of the land. Can't
tell how that will work from these photos. At least I can't!

I believe around 100 rooms. Yes it is small which is the point.

If only there were a thread of only 20 pages to look through to see what prior guesses have been.

Thank you! I'm gonna guess that perhaps the bus will leave from that side entrance, though. The way it seems to me, it'll have a side "portal" that you go through without seeing the outdoors, rather than loading where the average car is sitting. But, hey, I don't know. This looks plausible and correct as it is. Thanks!

Thanks for your help, have a Magical Day!

Yes, this is what was seen in the plans for the hotel, a special loading area so it's a seamless experience.
