You're just on a roll with security today aren't you?

I assumed they would be using the old entrance to expand the parking lot. From the pictures I can't tell what they are going to do with it. Any ideas?

From the picture you can tell it’s becoming parking

That entire L is security? If so, compare it to the existing security check and you can see what crowd levels they are expecting.

Wonder if WDW is going to switch to X-raying everything like Uni does.

One of the few things Uni does better, the X-ray is so much faster than the laborious bag-burrowing.

i agree its much more efficient and probably more effective. we wont bring bags to park for the reason of how slow and long lines can be.

The bag borrowing is a joke. Some of the people look to make sure you don't have a bowling ball with a candle on the top like a cartoon bomb, while others root around in the tiniest pockets. As in the case of my friend he had to physically open his retainer case for one security guard. That's a ridiculous request.

Drove through the new toll plaza at DHS around 7pm on Feb 8th and it was closed since it was close to park closing. I like what they have done differently. With all of the old Toll Plazas they leave three lanes open with green lights after the Toll Plaza closes. This one is different. They mark all lanes red and put up cones across the entire plaza entrance and funnel you to a bypass lane that goes around the plaza to the left. You no longer can go through the plaza, you go around it. I wonder with all the reconfiguration they are doing to the Park entrances, will they be refreshing the Toll Plazas like this as well.

Photo update as of Friday, February 22, 2019. Finally, after the September 2018 hurricane blew away several of the trees in the tram islands at Hollywood Studios, the old landscaping was removed and new, lower profile landscaping is completed.

I’d just like to say that this thread might be the only one on the site that stays on topic and post relevant updates regularly. It’s nice

Photo update as of Thursday, January 31, 2019. "Gate" number signs are installed at some locations in the new bus terminal cover already.

In other locations, fans have been installed for the queue lines. They were all running today, probably to ensure they work.

And now, the most boring photo. Traffic direction lines have been painted on the new flush pavement just outside the blue bollards near the Hollywood Studios gondola station.

Not having a show building hiding the progress helps!
