Discovery Island - Worth it?

While I would highly recommend against it. I would say it sounds like it would be a pretty cool experience.
Rent a cabin at ft wilderness
Snorkel out there with a wet suit in the middle of the night with supplies
Stay out there during the day for photos. I cant imagine judging from that previously linked blog that they have any type of security patrols, so if you stay away from the shore you should be pretty safe during the day. Then the next night pack up and head back to ft. wilderness.
Oh, and most importantly post the great photos you get here!:sohappy:

That blog pge is awesome! They should improve the isalnd and make it into an adventure like on the blog. Go on a mission like dinosaur. Put a zip line in. i see alot of potential for a reality adventure like place, even though i live in reality every day.

I've always wondered what it would be like on the island while going by in boats, since I'm only 25 and don't consiously remember ever being on Discovery Island. I've tried coming up with plans to get on it too, but I never had the cubes to actually do it haha.

Ya from going around it a few times on Sea Racers, I dont think I'd wanna run into some of those birds chillin over there or anything else that lives on the island that you can't see from the water....I would however try going near River Country if possible from the Fort Wilderness side.

Discovery Island is obviously in a bad state. It's a shame because in its prime it was a really really cool place. I believe a cast member got in trouble for trying to control the vulture infestation with a shotgun. Not sure when it was officially closed.
There is no question if caught explorers would be in some deep s--t. Also if creeping around at night there would be snakes and critters galore waiting to snack on a fleshy leg. The photos on the blog are amazingly creepy. Those guys had some stones.

Think for yourselfer
I say go for it. It seems to me that the priority level for Disney of making sure Discovery Island is not being trespassed on would be pretty low, considering how few people would actually attempt such an adventure. If you are willing to go for a swim in the night, then spend the day and swim back in the morning then you should at the very least avoid any legal troubles. However if you do get hurt over there, you may be in a little bit of a pickle.
After reading this, Pumbas is right- the gene pool can afford the hit....

Discovery Island may be more interesting now than when it was open.

Security would stop you before you knew what happened.
I got to close to the island 3 years ago and before I knew I was asked to move away from the island from their own personal coast guard

Nah. Probably surfaced from below in one of the old 20K subs.
And you thought they buried them all. :lol:
