What about the village, cantina, shops and all the stuff we usually can’t see in videos. Is all of that done?
Based on the videos I've seen from TT it looks like most of the basic structures are already done.

I'm sorry but that would likely be incorrect. A construction manager like in that video would be for a specific site, not both. They work with the local construction crews and logistics to ensure everything is kept on schedule. So its was either all filmed at DLR or all filmed at DHS, not both. And given the construction we saw it was likely filmed a couple months ago.

...correct was last month. Was told by my FL contact they filmed "a lot" there.
...they have a permit for one of the areas (takes a while to load) - current work being done.

I had been asking one of my contacts about the elevator system for the AT-At area of RotR. Its at that point of the ride where the 2 paired ride vehicles will go UP to the second floor. Here's what I got from it...
There are elevators on each side that will take the 2 ride vehicles up to the 2nd floor. You can see in this picture, the yellow outlined elevator shaft on the right side. There's a matching elevator/lift on the other side as well. Covered with themed walls when complete.

Would it be more accurate to say that these are not shafts because they are elevating platforms? Or are they enclosed with walls, and so truly shafts?I had been asking one of my contacts about the elevator system for the AT-At area of RotR.

Very reminiscent of Transformers’ elevator system
I lack an insider connection, but I don't think the elevators are on opposite sides. I think one is where we've all assumed it was, which will line up with the open hatch on the side of the walker from which troopers will fire down at us. There doesn't seem to be an opening on the opposite side for the vehicle to enter the second level. Also, in your diagram you show the elevator going much higher than I would expect. The showbuilding's second floor lies between the knee and shoulder height of the walkers.I had been asking one of my contacts about the elevator system for the AT-At area of RotR.

And the red shaft behind the AT-AT has to deal with its backside. Cue the Figment skunk smell...If correct, this would put the second lift (green) facing the AT-AT's heads which would make for a dramatic and imposing view.
Hello, first time post, long time lurker. Quick question for those that may know. I am planning on doing a quick trip at end of aug from the east cost and was wondering if there have been any rumors about dedicated morning hours. Since I will be going alone, I am trying to figure out if I should pay to stay on site for the possible morning magic access, or hope they use single rider lines even though that is not verified yet. I know disneyworld like the back of my hand but have only been to the land once back in 2009. Also, off topic, but does disney have shuttle buses from the airport to the hotels? I am assuming they do, but wanted confirmation.
..the last one with the girl taking us on the construction tour...a lot was filmed in Orlando, from what I was told.
Are you referring to the Kristina Dewberry video? The one that starts with this?

The same woman who's standing in front of the Galaxy's Edge sign at the DL Frontierland entrance?

And later in the video is standing between the MF show building and the temporary warehouse on the DL GE property?

I just wanted to make clear we are talking about the same video. And no, I'm not shooting the messenger. I respect and appreciate what you are doing for the fan community and are only acting as the middle man, but between this and the rumor that we will enter the queue at the Falcon prop, it's your contact's information that is starting to lose credibility with me.
Not only do I NOT think a lot of this was shot in Orlando......I think NONE of it was.
