Galactic studies is undergoing a renaissance in the current decade, thanks not only to Gaia, but to ground-breaking astrometry in the NIR and radio. I will give an update on the latest Gaia results following on the it's last data release about the structure of our Galaxy, with particular focus on the disk. Thanks to a recent Lorentz Center workshop with the same title as this talk, I will attempt to put Gaia's contribution in the context of other recent results from the NIR and radio. Integrating all these together I hope to share what we are learning and hope to soon learn about the Milky Way.
