8/4 Bay Lake Tower, The Land, Downtown Disney and McDonalds Photo Update

Note:  As of August 8th, I also have Cat Cora's Kouzzina restaurant signage photos!

Hi everyone!

I stopped by the Contemporary Resort Bay Lake Tower yesterday, as well as Downtown Disney, Epcot and the newly refurbished McDonalds near Blizzard Beach/Animal Kingdom.  It is hard to believe that my first online Bay Lake Tower construction photos were posted in April 2007, even before moving to the new name of Mousesteps.  I probably have had about 100 updates posted now of Bay Lake Tower construction, you can see some of the earlier ones here!  Many of those updates don't feel like I did them 2 years ago.  Where does the time go?

I also just put up 120 Electrical Parade photos from Disneylands California Adventure and a report from D23 Disneyland U.S.A.!

At the waterfront stage at the Marketplace, there is a dance party.  I will see if I can get photos/video this week:

 

 

 

Starabilias is now shut down.  It was my favorite store at the West Side:

 

 

New signage for the Princess Diana exhibit, and a small area of work being done outside of it:

 

 

I went down Western Way, and this is the last part I could get to – with nowhere to stop at the time:

 

 

 

The McDonalds near Animal Kingdom finished it's rehab, and it looks wonderful!  There are tables/chairs and cushioned seats outside, bright decor and even a couple of televisions inside:
