A "parade" on the water during the day (like Mythica in Japan) would probably be the best option for a daytime spectacle for DAK.

Definitely. We haven't heard anything about the possibility, but I really hope the changes at DHS allow for a daytime parade to be a part of the park. It could really use it.

I'd even take the simple Stars and Motorcars again (as a placeholder until something better comes along) ... LOL. Too bad Paris butchered it to death.

Photo update as of Tuesday, Dec. 1. The construction walls are removed from around the Riverside Depot building at Discovery Island. However, the building is not yet open. Note the moveable planter boxes on this side of the building, which hide the door access under the porch and Riverside Depot sign.
This end of the building that faces the river.
The side entrance to the tower, the store's door is inside to the right. This side faces Island Mercantile, across the plaza.
The front entrance under the tower. The side entrance can be seen to the right, under the porch sign.
View looking up into the tower.
The front of the building showing the attachment to the existing Disney Outfitters building. The clocks on the tower show the correct time.

As you walk from the main entrance, it is on the right side immediately after you cross over the bridge onto Discovery Island.

I feel like it took over part of Disney Outfitters (and expanded), but I very well may be wrong.

And here, I thought the tower would be for projectors for the Tree of Life.
Still, that clock is lovely.

I don't remember where it was but I saw a CM say that they are two separate shops. I don't know if they are connected or not tho. I would imagine yes.

Photo update as of Wednesday, Dec. 23. On the other side of Disney Outfitters, the new stage for the music acts that often appear in this area was open and operating this week. This gentleman was not part of the show....

Photo update as of Thursday, Jan 14. Recently, a construction wall has surrounded the existing Disney Outfitters, from the door near the new tower at Riverside Depot all the way around to the new stage area on the pathway to Dinoland USA. The only open door to the original Disney Outfitters is the one next to the tower. Inside this door, only the first room is open, which continues right through to the new Riverside Depot. To the left side of this room, the majority of Disney Outfitters is closed off. This appears to be a makeover of the Disney Outfitters interior, perhaps to match Riverside Depot décor, and perhaps a repainting of the exterior.
There is an opening in the construction wall at the Disney Outfitter door across from the entrance to It's Tough to be a Bug, but this door is closed, with a sign directing guests to the other side of the building.
