Disney World looks very different than it did even a year ago, and more changes are coming fast. In this video, we’re breaking down what is closed at Walt Disney World right now, what is about to shut down for refurbishment, and which attractions have recently closed for good. We cover current and upcoming closures at Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Hollywood Studios, Animal Kingdom, Disney Springs, the resorts, and Disney transportation — including Carousel of Progress, the Walt Disney World Railroad, Coral Reef Restaurant, Typhoon Lagoon, Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, the Disney Skyliner, and more. We’ll also look at major attractions that are now permanently gone, including DINOSAUR and DinoLand U.S.A., Muppet*Vision 3D and Muppets Courtyard, Tom Sawyer Island, the Liberty Square Riverboat, and the Rivers of America. If you’re visiting Disney World in late 2026 or early 2027, this is the closure update you’ll want to see before finalizing your plans.

Disney World GeoGuessr Challenge | Can You Guess the Resort From the Lobby?
Walt Disney World is spending billions of dollars constructing new lands like Villains Land, Monstropolis, and Tropical Americas. Yet scattered across Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Hollywood Studios, and Animal Kingdom are massive buildings, stages, restaurants, and even an entire 11-acre island sitting completely dormant. Walk through some of these doors 20 years ago and you’d find packed attractions, cutting-edge technology, and bustling dining rooms. Today, they sit locked away, used for seasonal events, or left completely empty. In this deep dive, we explore the forgotten, underused, and abandoned spaces of Walt Disney World—and answer why prime theme park real estate stays quiet for decades. 📋 CHAPTERS: 00:00 Why Does Disney Leave Prime Real Estate Empty? 01:05 Magic Kingdom: Stitch’s Great Escape & Merchant of Venus 02:25 Tortuga Tavern & Tomorrowland Terrace 04:16 Liberty Square: Heritage House & Enchanted Glade 05:44 The Lost Plaza Swan Boat Canals 06:51 EPCOT: Wonders of Life & The Abandoned Play Pavilion 08:27 Equatorial Africa & The Odyssey Restaurant 10:29 Original ImageWorks & Restaurant Marrakesh 12:42 Hollywood Studios: The Silent Jedi Training Stage 13:47 Animal Kingdom: Discovery River Amphitheater & Boats 16:03 Discovery Island: The Abandoned Bay Lake Preserve 17:35 What Should Disney Do With These Spaces? 💬 Which of these forgotten spaces would you bring back to life first, and what would you build there?
