  • For the first time ever, real on the ground footage from Disney's now abandoned Discovery Island has been released! In light of the news, I thought I should break down the footage and explain everything thats going on. Lets see what Disney's most iconic abandoned location now look like in 2017!

      Bright Sun Films, love your videos, but there is something about your voice and the way you deliver it that makes it even better, have you ever considered or previously done voice-over work? if not your should! I think you and This is Dan Bell are the top tier in urban exploration! Keep up the good work :)

    As you stated in the video, it's really cool to see an abandoned property that isn't destroyed due to scrappers and people, but instead is being decayed by nature. That's a rare sight.

      Honestly the only reason they're doing anything about the guy being there is because they could be legally liable if he hurt himself. They should just have him sign something saying he can't sue them if he hurts himself. I mean it's not like they're using the place. That again I don't think they want anybody discovering a dead body on the island at some point either.... that's not very Disney

  • @DoomFoxofDeath
    @DoomFoxofDeath 6 ปีที่แล้ว +356

    Despite nature taking over, this is probably one of the best preserved abandoned sites you'll ever see. Thanks to being an island, its naturally protected from vandals and the only people who go there have been very respectful to the now fragile structures. Its a refreshing sight for sure after exploring so many abandoned industrial sites that kids just trash.

    • @ScientificallyStupid
      @ScientificallyStupid 3 ปีที่แล้ว +12

      I visited it when I was 7 in '84 and I can still remember what it was like. I love seeing these videos- it just reminds you how relentless nature really is, a few years without people and the trees are taking over, and it's relative inaccessibility keeps it preserved. Very different from abandoned malls or subway stations.

    No wonder the man who lived on this island long before WDW was built never wanted to give it up. It's both eerie and beautiful at the same time.

      goose the biggest rumor so far of how it's done is a makeshift raft and they head out to it in the dead of night, wait until day, then explore it, then wait until night again to leave, and I'd guess take off from the property as well before security catches on

It was a beautiful paradise. A dream job. But I left it because of the neglect and abuse the animals sustained by the then curator of the island. Way too many animals were dying.

    I've seen pickled animals and body parts before, but is a Coke bottle with some tap water in it REALLY enough to preserve a specimen for almost 20 years? Obviously I'm not doubting the footage, but that's just insane to me.
    And, of course, the label on that bottle is nearly perfect. God, so cool.

    Jake, this video was so good. I had seen MattSonswa's video before this and I was wondering what the buildings and pathways were, so your narration was really interesting.
    Would it be possible for you to make a video like this using Matt's Body Wars and Cranium Command videos? I think it'd be cool to see something about the Wonders of Life pavilion since there's rumors that it will be demolished.

    You should've talked about the newly laid shrimp that they found in the building, I thought it was interesting because it means people have been on that island recently but there weren't any documented visits within that time.

      @GANONdork123 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Either that or Disney just doesn't care enough to actually look into who they are. Especially since the video, of course, wasn't uploaded until they had already left the island undetected. Since they weren't caught and their identities not publicly known, it probably wasn't a high priority for Disney to ban/take legal action against them.
