New FLE aerial construction pictures 12-20-11

ooh the little walls surrounding the entrance to the castle are up like in the below art

I totally forgot about this art (otherwise I would not have been surprised by the new walls...lol)

So I wonder if they are still planning on building the stairs on the left of the castle. I am not seeing anything like that in the construction pics yet.

Was that a small bridge in front of the BatB area? Is there going to be a new water-way??

Yes, There is lots of water in the FLE. I believe a stream runs from outside the castle to the area of the mine train. There's also a great deal of water involved in the Little Mermaid because.... well for obvious reasons....

I believe someone pointed out in an earlier thread that there were at least 4 bridges that are already in some phase of construction. There was also some speculation that there would be 7 total when everything is finished.

yea if you look close you can see the two large bridges in front of Be Our Guest and one smaller one to the west near Belle's Cottage. I count 3 small bridges (in various stages of construction) visible in the latest aerial photos of The Little Mermaid Area. And looking at the way it is laid out there appears to be at least one more bridge needed for the main queue.

I can't wait for the time when people start complaining about how long it's taking. It looks like it's moving along right now (and it is) but once the exterior gets "done" it'll still be a while before the stuff opens while they work on the inside.

Remember when Mission:Space's building was basically complete and it still had a while to go prior to opening.

Looks amazing though!

I'm not complaining about how long it's taking but I just want to know a "for sure" date so I can plan my trip to see it all. I've read so many dates.....I'm hoping summer of '13 will be a good time to go and see all the new goodies. :shrug:
