Hey man, great video! Some of the stores you talked about, I had forgotten about because of how long they’d been closed! 😅 Nice editing and keep up the good work!
I absolutely loved Rivers of Light 😢 it really surprises me that it wasn't popular. As for DisneyQuest... I have no words. I can't even imagine the conversation that took place about getting rid of such an amazing and inventive attraction and replacing it with something so niche.
It's ridiculous how many things are abandoned since COVID. Theme parks in Europe are back in full force since the pandemic is over. Meanwhile in WDW there are so many things still missing.
@@orlandoparksguyMaybe a new ride that is kind of similar or just bring back stitch’s great escape Disney. Oh I miss that ride so much. I don’t understand why it closed when lilo and stitch is a very popular franchise of the company. I know it probably never will come back but I can still wish that it will return and hope that one day a new ride attraction will go there.
I was torn on this one. Part of the exit area and gift shop are now used as seating for Auntie Gravities. And the attraction space is a Cast break room. I have to put it in the sequel!
@@charlottehawkins2633 It can’t be that hard to fix. There hasn’t been anything there for many years now. If that’s the only issue than fix it Disney and put something new there.
My wife and I went to Disney World several times as pass holders between 2018-2019. Crazy to see so many spots that we enjoyed just disappear. I'm grateful we got to experience that still-magical Disney World one last time before it all went downhill. But I'm also heartbroken that my two toddlers won't be able to experience what we grew up with.
I miss The Muppets store in Hollywood Studios. It was one of the last places that had a wide variety of Muppets items. I guess GenX is the last ones to remember much about The Muppets.
You missed some biggies like River country, the original Diamond Horseshoe Revue, Treasure Island/Discovery Island, Wonders of Life/ Cranium Command, 20,000 Leagues, ExtraTerrorestrial Alien Encounter, Stitch’s Great Escape, Wings of Man/If You Had Wings, and what about some of the resorts that never made it off the drawing board: Asian Resort, Persian Resort, Mediterranean Resort, and Venetian Resort. And the former Golf Resort became Shades of Green for military personnel.
Man, I spent hours and hours and hours working at all these locations, except for the NBA. It hurts a bit but yet since I am not there anymore, oh well).
4:51 I am a former WDW college program cast member who worked the monorail. I can confirm this. The newsstand has been turned into a Cast member break room. I would go in there for my breaks all the time when I was stationed at Magic Kingdom
I don’t think this is very common knowledge, but many of the World Showcase pavilions are run by contracting companies, not Disney. I believe I heard the company which runs the Morocco pavilion stores and restaurants is no longer operating, so that’s why the pavilion is mostly empty today.
@@iamryan93 I’m sure some loved going there, dude. Snoozer for most for sure, tho’. Always the least amount of people in that pavilion, which I think is clear proof it was a snoozer.🙄
Fun history fact regarding Brer Rabbit, he is a character from Disney's 1946 movie "Song of the south" told by "Uncle Remus." James Baskett played him in the Disney film and was the first African American to win an Academy Award. It was NOT Sidney Poitier. He was the second one to win the award.
@upsidedownworld934 that's not true at all, Walt was still a businessman who still cared about money. The Walt you're thinking of is the character Walt Disney we've been presented not the actual person
I am in aww of your videos. Thank you so much for bringing me back to childhood memories. I will be passing your handle on to my family and friends. Please keep doing what you do because you are excellent at it. 🏰🎢🎈🍿👩👩👧👧🎭🌞🐭🎡🎠🛍️🛏️🌭🥤🍬⛱️🤹🏽♀️💚🌎💙🍭🍦🌐🎥🎟️🎭👓🧢🦩🦚🎪🧳✈️🚆❤
That was kind of funny. They set up these large planters to hide the painting supplies. That was perfect for my video, made it look even more abandoned than usual lol.
Just some of the missing off the top of my head: the original Muppets Store in Hollywood Studios, Amani Village Traders next to Refreshment Outpost (they've painted the doors with murals but haven't opened the shop back up), The Gift Stop, the small store located next to the old Guest Relations area at the front right of Epcot (closed Jan. 2020 and never reopened).
I miss the health pavilion most. I think it is a beautiful building with potential. To me, a great idea would be to bring back the Mickey and friends,in their spacesuits,dance show that was popular in the 1980s and 90s in the odyssey building. The building can fit a lot of people, especially in bad weather. That would be maybe a temporary area to have periodic shows throughout the day, till imagineers establish an attraction. Or permanent/ long term if the show is successful with positive feedback. That show would be perfect for not a high budget, and work to go into it. One of the best things, I think, would be, that it would bring nostalgia to the guests who were lucky to experience the Mickey and friends show in the odyssey building. The main goal of this show/attraction would be similar a similar concept to Disney Junior dance party in Hollywood studios, where little ones can get their energy out. Or maybe just revamp it and put in a quick service restaurant where you can have a quick meal and a show like originally in the odyssey building. Generally, that pavilion is good real estate that should not be wasted.
You’re right. It’s so sad to see it just sitting there unused. I was in there about 5 years ago and it brought back a lot of memories. Like being nauseous on Body Wars lol.
Places that were closed and abandoned prior to 2020 yet still stand : the horseshoe review, Ariel’s restaurant at yacht and beach club, Tomorrowland noodle station in MK.
Awesome! Thanks for these. Ariel's is used for event space when the convention center is booked. But it does look abandoned 99% of the time. Thanks for sharing.
@@orlandoparksguy yes we use it when captains grille was closed too but it dosent even have a kitchen. So super sketch . And looks creepy behind the bars on a daily basis .
I have no interest in basketball so the NBA Experience meant nothing to me. I really miss Disney Quest and would love to see a new updated version of it come back
i’m aware that a lot of these spaces are now cast member break room or office areas. specifically the magic kingdom news station, at least as of 2022, the area was used to expand the break room for cast members who worked at the park entrance. i assume most of the places that haven’t opened had the same fate.
How about the store on the upper level of Canada inside the hotel? It’s been abandoned for roughly 30 years, lol. How about the spa at Coronado springs? It’s also been closed since the pandemic, lol. What about Tangaroa Terrace at the poly? It closed in ‘96! Or the kids clubs! Aunt Polly’s in the Magic Kingdom! The Aladdin store in Magic Kingdom! The candy store in Frontierland!
When movies get old, boring, and obsolete so goes anything associated with it. Theme attractions depend heavily on the success of their movies. Make a theme park based on the ‘Hood’ and maybe Disney might make a ‘comeback’.🤷🏼
I doubt that Disney would want empty lots / stalls / stages, but I imagine that the pandemic impacted the park a lot more than we think. I guess things like this are prioritised; and at the end of the day things like compliance and new attractions will always be towards the top of the list!
They are definitely keeping their budget tight post covid. Seems like in a lot of these cases, they are trying to maximize what they currently have to reduce the need for more staffing.
“I don’t know why. Indiana jones has a huge following.” Oh I know. Likely the bar was made in preparation for the slam dunk they thought they might get with the latest Indiana jones movie but when it’s reception proved more icy then expected and it didn’t rake in the numbers they wanted they likely pulled the plug especially since it’s possible they were hoping for more movies and this to be a notable draw.
@@orlandoparksguy Ultimately I just think that’s why the bar closed. Disney I think was banking on it being a hit but as with many things in 2023 they mishandled it. Especially on marketing. For whatever reason I didn’t see a whole ton of ads for Disney movies when in the past I used to get them and they used to be interesting but when I did see ads like for wish they didn’t do a great job of appealing to me. I also thought that if I wanted to watch the movie later I could just watch it on Disney plus and I suspect that was a significant part of why it flopped like it did because many thought well I’ll just watch it at home on Disney plus
The DVC is moving out of the imagination pavilion. They decided to relocate DVC to the Frontierland shooting arcade. So why didn’t DVC relocated to the space mountain lounge for formal RCA
Money is the root to all Evil. Love going to Disney World❤ It was Great❤Then it changed. Now its for the Rich😢 I miss it. But going forward i will just stay home and watch videos of the lucky people that get to go❤Salute to the Mouse❤
I did enjoy Rivers of Light even though it had its issues. I really hope they find something to put there that is creative. Play Pavilion Epcot really needs to have something done to it. Soon Test Track will go down for refurb and that will be a hit to the park. There really needs to be another attraction built there.
I liked being in Animal Kingdom at night. It’s the best time to be in that park. God point about Test Track. I’m Looking forward to the update, it’s feeling a little tired these days .
Since most of these locations closed with the pandemic, I wonder how many would have survived if the pandemic hadn't happened? Obviously, some were destined for closure anyway, but I think a lot would have survived if not for the pandemic.
This is what happens when a once exceptional company focused on the customer and creativity is replaced with idiots interested in DEI ideology and profits.
All that Imagineering and no more creativity. 1990 to early 2000’s were truly magical at Disney. All downhill after that. The worst management I have ever seen. Iger destroyed the parks, the magic, multiple IP’s and made it unaffordable to the masses. Guess what rich people aren’t going there either anymore. You can visit real countries in Europe cheaper than a week at Disney. It needs a total reboot by a new CEO, new board and the jettisoning of woke culture.
Iger was great for a while. 2017- 2019 in particular, the parks did a lot of business. But Chapek did some serious damage, mainly over saturating the parks with Disney movies and characters.
We took my son for a pirate makeover at Pirates Landing. He loved it. You should have seen the looks he got when we fast passed on Pirates of the Caribbean. I hate to see it closed. My daughter did BBB. Now there is nothing for the guys.
The Den of Destiny, a bar, sounds great. But, perhaps name it after a character like 'Sallah's' or 'the Ravenwood'. Thinking DIS b#tt hurt about how bad the 'Destiny' movie b#mbed.
Even though I live nearby, and use to be an annual pass holder year after year, I have not gone to the parks since 2016 or 2017 so I had no idea that several of our families fav shops had closed and it makes me sad. IMO when I go to a theme park or mall and see many places sitting closed/abandoned, I know there's something wrong. It shows that mall or theme park is hurting for customers, and Disney did it to themselves by their greed. There are not enough rich people visiting the parks year round to keep them thriving.
Well said. Disney definitely has fewer guests in the parks and is charging them more. This strategy has been working, especially with international travelers. 2018 -2019 saw lower prices overall, but attendance was through the roof. The biggest complaint was that the parks were much too crowded.
Disney is too busy purveying to LGBTQ..... and the stock holders while missing the whole point of family entertainment at a reasonable cost. Walt Disney would be ashamed.

I imagine the continuing staffing issues have played a huge role in the closure of some of these.
2020/2021 WDW let go 32,000 cast members. So, do not feel sorry for them. They got rid of alot of people who would not have left their jobs there.
Way to go Disney company. At least we have some great memories and photos.
Turn NBA back into a modern day Disney Quest! We miss it!
MetaQuest had an exhibit in there briefly. I thought it would work well as a permanent attraction.
Hey man, great video! Some of the stores you talked about, I had forgotten about because of how long they’d been closed! 😅 Nice editing and keep up the good work!
Thanks for watching! I had a lot of making it. Glad you enjoyed it.
I absolutely loved Rivers of Light 😢 it really surprises me that it wasn't popular.
As for DisneyQuest... I have no words. I can't even imagine the conversation that took place about getting rid of such an amazing and inventive attraction and replacing it with something so niche.
It will be interesting to see what comes next. I'm hearing that permits might have been filed to perform work inside.
Yes and yes!
It's ridiculous how many things are abandoned since COVID. Theme parks in Europe are back in full force since the pandemic is over. Meanwhile in WDW there are so many things still missing.
This video was great! I love walking by these spaces and hope that most of them can come back in some way.
Thank you!
What about the space where alien encounter and stitch great escape used to be in Tomorrowland?
Yes! That’s a great one! Would love to see something go in there. On last check it was a break room.

@@charlottehawkins2633 It can’t be that hard to fix. There hasn’t been anything there for many years now. If that’s the only issue than fix it Disney and put something new there.

Rivers of Light in Animal Kingdom- we saw it in 2018, and thought it was great. Sad to see it gone.
Me too. It was so unique!
"This space closed in March 2020..." was a common theme here. ☹️👎
The pandemic was definitely bad for business. Fortunately Disney was allowed to reopen in July. It could have been a lot worse.

Morocco pavilion was always a snoozer, only went in there to use the air conditioning during that part of the Circle around WS.
