For 50 years, one stretch of Bay Lake shoreline has had one of the strangest histories anywhere at Walt Disney World. It began in 1976 as River Country, Disney World’s first water park and a rustic swimming hole filled with slides, beaches, rockwork, and filtered Bay Lake water. After closing in 2001, Disney did something unusual: it left much of the park standing, allowing nature to slowly reclaim the abandoned attractions. Nearly two decades later, Disney finally demolished River Country to build Reflections — A Disney Lakeside Lodge. Construction began, the old water park disappeared, and then the pandemic brought the project to a sudden halt. For years, the site sat behind construction walls as another unfinished chapter in the property’s history. Now Disney is trying again. Disney Lakeshore Lodge is scheduled to open in 2027 with nearly 1,000 rooms, Disney Vacation Club villas, waterfront Lake Houses, restaurants, pools, and even a lazy river — bringing water attractions back to the former River Country shoreline more than 25 years after the original park closed. In this video, we trace the complete story of River Country, its years as an abandoned Disney ghost town, the rise and fall of Reflections, and the long-awaited rebirth of Bay Lake as Disney Lakeshore Lodge. Would you stay at Lakeshore Lodge, or do you still wish River Country had survived?

From River Country to Lakeshore Lodge: The 50-Year Saga of Disney World’s Lost Shoreline
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. Which closure would affect your trip the most, and which recently extinct Disney attraction do you already miss?

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?

I am founder and editor of DisneyNews.us. My passion for all things Disney goes pretty far back to watching The Wonderful World of Disney on Sunday nights and enjoying my first trip to Walt Disney World in the mid-80's. I have since returned to the magical place more than 30 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 build a little community around it. Other interests include 80's nostalgia, vintage toys, video games, LEGO, Star Wars and tech gadgets. Other site isDMR.
