This appears to be from the welcome plaza near a monorail station:
More damage from near Tokyo Disneyland Maihama-Station. The workers appear to be shoveling away the silt formed after liquefaction in the area. :

Earlier this week Disney CEO Bob Iger was interviewed by Charlie Rose. I think that Bob is the right CEO for Disney at this time. He really does ‘get it’ when it comes to most things. He may be a little stuck in the past… Read More »Disney CEO Bob Iger on Charlie Rose

Safety must come first, so sometimes when you’re walked off an attraction at a Disney theme park you get to view a bit of how the magic is made because that’s just the safest thing to do. That’s the case during a recent ride stoppage… Read More »Backstage Peek at 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea Attraction
