Current Projects:

• Grand Californian - Disney Vacation Club Expansion (Through September 5, 2008)
  We start following this yet to be announced expansion of the Grand Californian which will include a new wing with Disney Vacation Club units. Construction started in August 2007.
  
  
• Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Color (Through September 7, 2007)
  We start following this new night time lagoon show in 2007 with a sighting of some survey work and then some test equipment in the Bay at Disney's California Adventure. The rumor is this show will debut in late 2008 or early 2009 but no official announcement has been made. There was a piece of concept art in the 2006 Disney Annual Report though.
