About this listen

 Disney's Discovery Island, once a zoological attraction in Bay Lake, Florida, opened in 1974 as Treasure Island and later became Discovery Island. Despite its unique tropical theme and wildlife, poor attendance and the opening of Animal Kingdom led to its closure in 1999. Now abandoned, the island remains shrouded in mystery, with decaying structures hidden by vegetation and little known about its future or any plans for redevelopment.
