20,000 Leagues Under the Sea was a now-defunct attraction at Disney World’s Magic Kingdom. The attraction was based on the classic novel by Jules Verne, and allowed visitors to explore the depths of the ocean on board a submarine that was modeled after the Nautilus, the famous vessel from the book.

During the ride, visitors would board a submarine and travel through a series of underwater scenes, encountering a variety of marine life, shipwrecks, and other underwater wonders along the way. The ride was designed to be both educational and entertaining, with a focus on providing visitors with a unique and immersive experience that brought the world of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea to life.

Despite its popularity, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea was eventually closed in 1994 due to high operating costs and maintenance issues. The attraction remains a beloved part of Disney World’s history, however, and is remembered by many visitors as one of the park’s most iconic and memorable experiences.

I am founder and editor of DisneyNews.us. My passion for all things Disney goes pretty far back to my first trip to Walt Disney World in the mid-80's. I have since returned to the magical place more than 20 times. I started this site when I came to the realization that I spent a significant portion of my day reading articles about Disney and watching Disney content with my 8-year old, so it made sense that I would start sharing some of what I read and see and building a little community around it. Other interests include 80's nostalgia, vintage toys, video games, LEGO, Star Wars and tech gadgets. Other site isDMR.
