We have another updated look at the Fantasyland construction site, which once again is showing a lot of progress since our update last week.  The most striking addition is perhaps the arrival of a group of large trees.  Unlike the trees that were brought in last year to somewhat block the view of the construction, these trees are actually being planted into the landscape of the new land.  This would seem to indicate that much of the heavy construction is now complete in certain areas of the expansion.  A lot of paint work has been completed on the castle structure over at the Little Mermaid building, with the bridge now really looking close to being completed.  At the same time, more and more rock-work is being added.  This expansion is certainly going to be a showcase for rock-work, as it is being extensively used, and looks extremely realistic.  The paint finishing of the rock with snow, moss and other vegetation looks fantastic.
