August 4th Walt Disney World Update, Including Bay Lake Tower Opening Day – Photos & Video

Hi everyone!

The last few days have been busy at Walt Disney World.  Unfortunately, one of those changes was the closing of Starabilias. A unique shop on the Downtown Disney West End, there have been rumors of it closing for a while (below left and right).

Another closure is temporary. The Living with the Land boat ride is being refurbished, and is set to open back up on or around November 1st (below left and right).
