Construction walls have been taken down between the sidewalk and the parking lot. The area is beginning to open up.

Inside the porte-cochère, we saw what appears to be a new chandelier. A net full of white balls hangs from the ceiling, so we assume this will light up.

The Monorail station is still full of scaffolding and painting has not been completed on the supports.

Behind the Great Ceremonial House, construction walls have mostly been replaced with smaller crowd barriers.
