Wonders Of Life Pavilion

This pavilion, dubbed “the Wonders of Sadness” by some, is technically not abandoned, but rather undergoing a transformation as a venue. More recently, the Flower and Garden Festival, as well as the Food and Wine Festival, are currently held in the area.

Nothing has been operational since the closure in 2007, however that does not mean it has been decommissioned. This one very well could return in the future.

Pleasure Island

This island is exactly what it sounds like: bars and clubs for those that stay up late. What seemed like a good idea in 1989 turned out to be a dud by the turn of the century, and refurbs began in 2006. One of these was the infamously enormous Jessica Rabbit being removed from the “Pleasure Island Tonight” sign. The modifications were not well received, and foot traffic did not rise as a result.

Disney chose to close the strip in 2008 to make room for additional family-friendly entertainment. In 2010, the entertainment center was permanently closed.
