Here’s an update at the Hub Expansion construction taking place in Magic Kingdom (Walt Disney World.) Shots taken later afternoon Monday, February 2, 2015.
On approach to Cinderella Castle, you can see some of the walls on Main Street as well as the boxed up Partner’s Statue (with Walt and Mickey) and other low walls around the central hub.

Turning around with back to Cinderella Castle, looking back towards Main Street from center Hub.
The moat surrounding Cinderella Castle was completely drained, revealing concrete and tracks leftover from the Swan Boats.
Drained and empty dry moat looking towards Tomorrowland and Cosmic Ray’s Cafe, showing concrete, bricks and the old Swan Boat tracks. (Also shows rose garden where the old dock used to be but was removed in 2014.)
Any word on when the construction in the HUB directly in front of the Castle will be complete?
Unfortunately, no. The entire project has work permits through November of this year I believe but there’s been no clear timeframe given of when the various stages will be complete.
