Work continues on Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind as the fourth row of roofing panels is laid.

Pavement work progresses as crews work to complete the exterior of the attraction.

Continuing our Monorail run, we have an eye in the sky on construction surrounding the future World Celebration.

Scaffolding surrounds the corner where workers rebuild the building’s exterior of the new quick-service restaurant that will be housed here.

MouseGear and Port of Entry dished up quite a few new Food & Wine Festival items including a Remy, Apple Orchard, Belle, and the Food & Wine Festival Logo phone cases for $29.99 each.

The breezeway connecting the future Club Cool and MouseGear has received an even coat of paint as well.

Stanchions that previously lined the inside of the Mexico pavilion directing the flow of traffic to the dining, shopping, and attraction inside have been removed.

Florida Blue Lounge signs have been removed from Akershus Royal Banquet Hall following a rumor that princess dining might not be returning to the restaurant.

Enoteca in the Italy pavilion has received a few more props on its walls inside the shop following its exterior painting.

A section of the bridge to Italy has had its scrim removed and appears ready for painting while the opposite end is still boarded up.

Regal Eagle Smokehouse in The American Adventure received some delicious-looking new food props as well as a vibrant red apron featuring the regal eagle himself, Sam Eagle.
