Inside Disney World's Abandoned Theme Parks

Last week we took a look at the ruins of what was once the Miracle Strip Amusement Park in Florida. Naturally, that got me thinking about the biggest attraction in Florida: Disney World. Disney World occupies an insane amount of land in Florida, and Disney owns even more that is undeveloped. Surely, hidden away somewhere there must be the ruins of a Disney park or two.

There are two to be exact: Discovery Island and River Country. The adjoining parks are the only two Disney parks to ever be closed permanently. Luckily for us, they were abandoned rather than demolished.

    Seeing this reminds me of when we walked across the street from my parents boat and went into the abandoned grounds of the Chesapeake Beach amusement park. It's townhouses or something now but the remaining buildings and the biggest pool I had ever seen showed it must have been something spectacular. Very happy it didn't have and the old disney area's didn't appear to have the graffiti and vandalism so prominent today. Thanks for sharing that article.
