Disney's Discovery Island

Discovery Island, also known as "Bay Lake's Tropical Island Paradise," is an 11½-acre island in Bay Lake at Walt Disney World Resort in Lake Buena Vista, Florida. It opened as "Treasure Island" on April 8, 1974, and was a place to observe wildlife. It was closed to the public on April 8, 1999, but continued to operate until July 9, 1999, at which point all of its animals had been relocated to new homes at Disney's Animal Kingdom (which retained the Discovery Island name in the hub area formerly called Safari Village) and other zoos.

Disney's Discovery Island has been abandoned since 1999.  Before it closed many families made memories here and they will continue to talk about their time spent on Disney's Discovery Island. Whether they stayed right in Disney-themed hotels or in Disney hotels Orlando, they adventured to the Island, that is, until they were no longer able. At the time, the Bay was a popular site for Disney travelers.
