Fencing is now down around the new parking lot near the cast services building. Just has to be painted..
They are but there's a lot of changes coming to the park entry area and I'm sure it will make more sense at that point. Additionally they are no further out than MK's or DAK's and about a mile closer than Epcot's

Off the top of my head: Shifting the tram loop, bus stops, Skyliner, Disability lot shift, preferred parking shift, maybe a security move (not 100% on that one), and a few more that aren't coming to me at the moment.

Moving the bus stops this far away does seem to give them enough room to move security/make the gondolas in the secure area.

Expanding the Security zone is a significant portion of the project. I'm not sure if the turnstiles are moving however so the "in park" changes to the front entryway is an unknown to me. Perhaps someone else can fill in that info gap.

The new cast services building is slated to open on May 25, along with the new cast parking lot. After which, the old cast services building will begin an interior remodel to become the new Entertainment base for the park.

Is it coincidence that they didn’t finish paving? Maybe that will be a staging area for Star Wars hotel construction and dirt moving?

Photo update as of Thursday, May 10, 2018. A ground level view of the parking lot expansion at Hollywood Studios. Most of the construction fences have been taken down. Lights are operating. With a few other finishing touches and striping the parking spaces, this new lot should be ready before Toy Story Land opens. (I know.....boring photos of flat asphalt space.)
This view towards the current parking entrance kiosk, with the cast member new costume building on the right (green roof). The construction fence was located at the second line of traffic cones.
This is the S-curve that followed the construction fence for many months. New parking lot is to the left of the traffic cones.
Beyond the new parking area, work continues on pylon driving for the new parking exit bridge. Flatbed trucks with sod for the slope beyond the parking lot guardrail.

I read that in Jeff Goldblum's voice.
May 10, yes?
When Galaxys Edge opens the lot will close when at capacity. With all the busses running guests in too (and the hanging buckets) the park will be deemed near or at capacity.
I wouldn't in the slightest be surprised if this were the case for at least the first month. It's going to be absolutly nuts.

yeah pretty sure it will be more than a month of insanity.
