Does anyone know for sure whether they are building a parking structure, or just expanding the lot?

No way I'd work from inside that booth. Did they really bother to put a bumper on the front?
Yes.
The parking lot is being expanded significantly. There is however a strong rumor of a parking garage as well but that will likely not happen for a few years.

Photo update as of Saturday, Nov. 19. To complement photos posted by @roj2323 on the previous page: The "feeder hopper" is now attached to the conveyor on the west side of World Drive. The covered conveyor now continues east over the main Hollywood Studios entrance and then continues further east as an open conveyor. Below photo looks west of World Drive.

No, but I wanted to quote back something like, "these violent delights have violent ends" and was afraid that would sound strange if you weren't making a Westworld reference.

at least it doesnt seem like this is delay holding things up much, as TSL is moving forward and most of this dirt is primarily for the parking lot project
has there been any updates on the new entrance/ ramps at victory way and osceola? some dirt is surely needed for that

Work has started on the Victory/Osceola interchange (see the other thread), which also involves part of the new entrance road. There is still a chunk of the entrance road that they have not filed a permit for yet. I assume there will eventually be another permit for the entrance road, new toll plaza and parking re-configuration.
The conveyor belt has been installed! It doesn't look like they have turned it on yet (still clean and no roller marks) but they are really close and I wouldn't be surprised if it didn't start moving dirt in the next few days. Also in an interesting turn of events they have also brought in a mobil conveyor on the DHS end which is easily visible on the drive into the park. I'm not sure if they are going to use it to load trucks but if I had to guess that's more than likely what they are going to be doing with it.

Thanks for the update, I assumed that they already had it up and running.
It's actually gotten larger but they are using the conveyor. They seem to have piled up all the Black dirt and are using the conveyor to transport all the subsurface dirt (sand / clay / rock) to DHS for the parking lot project. This subsurface dirt is more of a sand color.
