Disney World GeoGuessr Challenge | Can You Guess 50 Locations in 5 Seconds?
Disney World has replaced some of its most beloved attractions, lands, resort details, and nighttime spectaculars over the years — but were those changes actually improvements? In this video, we are putting 15 major Disney World closures head-to-head with what stands in their place today to decide whether each replacement was an upgrade, a downgrade, or too close to call. From The Great Movie Ride and Horizons to Maelstrom, Wishes, and 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, we are comparing the original experience, why it closed, what replaced it, and whether Disney really got the better end of the swap.

Old vs. New Disney World: Were these 15 Replacements Upgrades or Downgrades?
Is modern Walt Disney World losing its magic? In this ultimate nostalgia compilation, I am looking back at 75 classic rides, extinct attractions, missing perks, and forgotten pieces of history that Disney completely removed. From massive park icons like Horizons and The Great Movie Ride, to beloved nighttime spectaculars like Wishes and IllumiNations, Disney World has changed drastically over the decades. I'm diving deep into the ultimate archives of vintage Magic Kingdom, classic EPCOT Center, Disney-MGM Studios, and Disney's Animal Kingdom to uncover what made "Old Disney" so special—and why the corporate replacements often miss the mark. Whether you desperately miss the original Journey Into Imagination with Dreamfinder, the terrifying intensity of ExtraTERRORestrial Alien Encounter, or just the relaxing ambiance of the Polynesian Lobby Waterfall and the Epcot Fountain of Nations, this is the ultimate trip down memory lane.
