Here are some pictures from my full picture set taken Friday 11/4 showing the start of work in the parking lot as well as the parking structure.  This appears to be preparation work for a re-configuration/expansion of the Mickey and Friends Tram Stop to accommodate a new security check point as the screening is pushed outwards.  The OC Register has a story on the change

From the other side you can see what has been cleared and the enlarged opening on the first floor of the structure.
