Re: Discovery Island
It's still there. If you take the boat from WL or FW to MK, you'll go right past it. My understanding is it's used just as a wildlife sanctuary now.

Re: Discovery Island
We visited it years ago. I thought it was very interesting and a quiet, nice break from the parks. My kids, however, stoked up on Disney excitement, were less than impressed.

Re: Discovery Island
Remember the big huge turtles they had there. That place was awesome. Felt like you were inside the bird cage walking along the catwalks looking up at the nets overhead.

Re: Discovery Island
I went to DI with my girl scout troop way back when. I don't remember much about it but I know I liked it. Kinda sad I only got to go once... by the way, thanks for the sites, DarthTortoise, they're great. :)
