UPDATE – Toy Story Land, Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge Construction in Walt Disney World

Imagineering is hard at work in Disney’s Hollywood Studios and elsewhere as the company gears up for the 50th Anniversary of Walt Disney World.

The unprecedented construction projects including Toy Story Land and Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge continue, and Twitter user @bioreconstruct has posted some updates of many of the current construction projects around the resort.

Here are his latest aerial pics of Toy Story Land construction in Disney’s Hollywood Studios…
