Didn't take photos but rebar is in place for the east side ramp so I would expect concrete soon. West ramp is still dirt.

Please tell me that those Banners are temporary as well. Right now, it looks like they've made an already obnoxious stage even more obnoxious.

They're for Night of Joy, just like pretty much every other obnoxious thing in the hub right now is.

The steel frames and the banners hanging from them are in fact temporary. They are up for use during Night(s) of Joy. They'll be down next week.

Don't know if this has been answered yet. But, I just got back from a 4 day trip to the World. The crane was setup behind the castle, to the right by Sir Mickey's. They have already installed some of the light netting for the Christmas castle lights. Will post pics soon.

It is real brass. It is an inlay. You could see it in earlier pictures as part of the metal framework that outlined the rose. When the concrete was all finished with the pour now all you see is the top edge of the brass. Similar to the compass that was there before, and the compass in the back of the castle as well.

Funny side note about Night of Joy. While on the peoplemover on Tuesday, I noticed that they have setup a temporary stage in the same location as the former Tomorrowland stage. You know, where Buzz does his Meet and Greet. There are doors on either side of his area that are opened up when needed. In this case for guest access to the stage area. I think its kinda funny that they felt the need to remove this location as the original Tomorrowland stage to build the eyesore that is over by Astro Orbiter. Yet, they build temporary one in the same location as the old one. Guess it is still a good location after all. I know, I know. They need all available space for all of the music acts happening at the same time.

Thanks for the info! That must mean they're putting them on overnight, right? I've been stalking Instagram for pictures of the crane but I haven't found any.

Maybe they realized that no one likes the crane over the castle? I hope they did.

I'm leaning more towards just stormy weather on an almost daily basis lately.
I hope I'm wrong though and it is a new procedure where they start work sooner and only work at night.

There have often been multiple maps for recurring events. Last year I think there were 3 different MNSSHP maps for various dates. But it is weird that the next stage of the Hub is included in the map for the even but not the regular maps yet.

Do we really think that Disney were somehow unaware of the dislike of the crane and that's the reason it was left there? That somehow, nobody ever mentioned it to them?

All I know is there has not been one crane over the castle picture and its been on-site for almost a week. If they are really only working at night this time around I'm not complaining.
