Episode 82

Ever wonder what happened to those Disney parks that vanished into thin air? Or the grand plans that never quite made it off the drawing board? Get ready for a fascinating journey into the realm of Disney's abandoned dreams and forgotten attractions!

In this episode, we're pulling back the curtain on some of Disney's most intriguing "what ifs" and "almost weres." From the rustic charm of River Country to the wild ambitions of Disney's America, we're exploring the parks and projects that didn't quite make it to "happily ever after."

In this episode, we'll learn:

• The story behind River Country, Disney's first water park that nature reclaimed
• The curious case of Discovery Island, a wildlife sanctuary frozen in time
• The ambitious plans for Port Disney and its marine-themed wonderland
• The West Coast's almost-Epcot known as WestCOT
• The controversial concept of Disney's America and its historical ambitions
• The mythical creatures that almost roamed Animal Kingdom in Beastly Kingdom

So grab your explorer's hat and join us as we venture into the fascinating world of Disney's "might-have-been." Whether you're a theme park enthusiast or just curious about the behind-the-scenes magic of Disney, this episode promises to be an adventure you won't want to miss!
