It's because Dream Along With Mickey is back.
(sniped from Facebook)
It seems the walls are significantly lower this morning.

Isn't that just an assumption though? The rigs were not there prior to Dream Along With Mickey going dark and nothing has really changed on either side of the stage warranting the temporary rigs be it lighting, or sound.

Well I'm sure they're not permanent, considering they have turrets right next to them that serve the exact same purpose.

My guess the rig is actually for the new Halloween show.

Perhaps, the new stuff is not yet operational, judging by the scrims still up on the main turrets. So until they are operational they need the temporary stuff rather then have nothing at all.

It's lighting and audio truss for Night of Joy. They've been installed a bit earlier because everyone in that area is fighting for their own time: NOJ, construction, Halloween rehearsals. So you have to spread it out more than usual. They'll be gone by Halloween (it's much faster to strike than to build).

Now this makes sense.

MK looks like DHS with all those metal trusses up. Gross. Get em down. Those should never up in any Disney park, ever.

Truss rigs like that have been used for NOJ for years and years (in the past, they were much larger, and in several locations). They were used for Grad Nite in years past, for NYE all over Epcot, for many years during Gay Days at Studios. They have big lighting rigs and power drops for the Christmas filming, and other TV specials.
Just pointing out that this has been going on for a long time; not something new. Because I know someone will cry "TDO of yesterday would never allow..."

And they've always looked ugly. LOL.

Went today. Nothing much has changed since the recent updates. The other day though (Friday) there were loads of helicopters flying low over typhoon lagoon. They had a red bottom with a wavy yellow line. Are these Disney helicopters?

Sounds like the Orlando Helicopter Tour company, not Disney. With luck it means we'll have some new aerial photos posted soon.

Yeah I don't care for the tall lighting poles at all. Seems like a good place for a larger tree or shrub to at least partially hide those poles.
Except then you'd be blocking the view of the fireworks from the Fastpass viewing area so it will never happen.
It's a little messy some might say.
