Building 7 watching and pics

My DS4369 is scheduled to be in Bldg 7 8/19-24 and I thought I saw where people had taken up close pictures while the coach was being assembled. I want to do that as well to document where everything is run and located before they are covered up. Is this still possible and if so do I have to make prior arrangements?
Also how much is done on the first day - we are the 5 unit in on the first day.
It is great to go thru the process of ordering but the 3 month wait is HARD!!

We went to our build and took photos every day. We can now reference what is behind all of the wall panels and hidden in the basement.

Let your tour guide know your coach is in the line. Give them the 6 digit coach number if you have it.

Be sure to ask if you can sign the wall of your coach.

You can usually take as many pictures as you like.

Take BOTH tours each day.

7 to 9 coaches enter the building each day. If you are number 5 you will probably be station 1 (initial plumbing) at 10am and station 3 (interior walls) at 1pm. Exact position is very difficult to nail down.

Good Luck and enjoy your build!

So the first day is important for see what is underneath...unfortunately that is a Friday for me! They won't let you stay with it in between the tours?

Nope. I think they do well to let you wander around the coach during the tour.

Just for a fun photo opportunity. A memory to remember.
