Scott K is the man, thanks as always!

Interesting to see how much concrete is progressing for the walkways in Storybook.

Thanks for posting the aerials early Steve. Much appreciated and of course thanks to Scott. I should have a batch in a couple of weeks.

Thanks Mr. Keating!! There's so much to see. I love that the pathway from TL to the Storybook train station is still there. I also see that the steel is going up for what I'm assuming is the kitchen for Gaston's Tavern. That section of the expansion will be completely enclosed soon.

Interesting that Storybook will have orange concrete rather than the red in the rest of FL. Already looking forward to our 2013 trip. I wonder if I'll be able to use my DVC points at GFV by then?:drevil:

Thanks again Steve and Scott Keating:sohappy:

You can also sea the path extending from furture land near the train station. It also seam like most of the retaining walls for planings are in around dumbo so the area should change alot in the near furture

Thanks as always Scott for the great shots.

Looks like they are putting up another building between Beasts Castle and Little Mermaid block the MK access road. I did not see anything but open space on earlier shots.

It also looks like a lot of the concrete curbing work is done in Circusland. They are moving right along, but only 4 more weeks puts us ito mid February and there is a lot of work to do still.

I'm pretty sure what you are looking at is the bridge that will lead to Belle's village....I believe water will run from the mountain, down under both the bridge that leads to the be our guest restaurant & the bridge to the village....should see more work on that soon...

There is a lot of curbing work right next to the train station on the side towards the smaller tent. I am wondering what this is going to be. As far as I know we haven't heard what is going there and it's not clear from any of the art I have seen.

Amazed to see that they have started to work on the planters close the station.
One week there is nothing, the other they cleared all building materials and started on the grond work.

I wonder how fast they can put the walkways down.
If they can get the ground work done next week then I give them just a other week to make it all the way from the station to the connecting pathway near the new dumbo's.

thanks Scott for the update:)

Maybe my eyes are playing tricks on me, but it looks like a worker is on the roof doing something to beasts castle...It's hard to tell because the picture gets grainy when I close up on it....but something definately looks different by the castle....

When you brought up the Beast's Castle...it got me thinking.

I can't WAIT to see the lighting effects of the New Fantasyland! I envision sparking "jewels" coming out of the mine...and cool effects on Beast's Castle as well as maybe some lighting in the water around Eric's castle.

I'm wondering if the actual trees will have lighting effects (maybe owl eyes coming from the trees).

I'm also wondering if they'll add sound to the Great Goofini coaster (maybe his notorious "down the ski-slope" yodel).

Anybody have any info?

I was just thinking about the lighting a few days ago - they are going to have to be really careful with how they light the castle. It would be easy to make the thing look very small if badly lit.

Agree. I am expecting a lot of small effects like that. I'm sure there will be all kinds of small details like this.
