On some boat waiting in line near Los Angeles, there's a group of shipping containers full of Chinese brick pavers...

On property somewhere are a ton of brick pavers too. They just have to turn them upside down as to not show the buy a brick side.

The slow progress is likely due to the large amounts of rain the area has been seeing over the last 2-3 weeks. It's raining literally every night at around 9-10pm for over an hour and this type of fake brick doesn't adhere properly to the surface material when it's wet or full of moisture. If we get a few days of dryer weather, this will likely go in pretty quickly. That said it's a bit like laying tile so it can be tedious.

Seems to be the WDW way. I had to double check the first post date.

I would not be happy if this project was at my house and it was taking this long for path, never mind at Magic Kingdom. This should have been a week-long job at most.

Maybe they are using the same crew for both this and Moana and they just work a little on this one, then a little on that one, ya know switch back and forth. They can save $$$ that way.

It doesn’t matter how long they take on anything, folks are still showing up.

Apparently, they're going to amortize the cost across two quarters.

Holy Cow! I had assumed this had been finished ages ago. I’ve always wanted to see all of Main Street get the pavers, but if they announced it tomorrow, maybe it might be completed in time for Magic Kingdoms centennial?

This is meant to be part of TRON’s extended queue so the turtle and the sloth better team up!

Looks like they are on the home stretch now, once they start with the field pavers all the prep is done. Lay them up, sand/grout them solid and you are done.
Unless they spend two months glazing them to have the perfect shades of grey....
