Can you identify 25 Walt Disney World resorts from nothing but a picture of their lobby? In this Disney World GeoGuessr Challenge, you’ll see lobbies from Value, Moderate, Deluxe, and Disney Vacation Club resorts across Walt Disney World, then try to name the correct resort before the answer is revealed. Some should be instantly recognizable, like Disney’s Contemporary Resort, Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort and Spa, Disney’s Wilderness Lodge, and Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge. Others dive into newer resorts and DVC properties like Disney’s Riviera Resort, Bay Lake Tower, Kidani Village, and Island Tower at Disney’s Polynesian Villas and Bungalows. The resorts stretch across more than five decades of Walt Disney World history, from the Contemporary and Fort Wilderness in 1971 to the Island Tower and new Fort Wilderness cabins in 2024.

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?

Can you tell which Walt Disney World park you are in from just one picture? In this Disney World GeoGuessr Challenge, you will see 25 locations from Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and Disney’s Animal Kingdom, then try to identify the correct park before the answer is revealed.
