Meet Me On Main Street

Ep. 19: The Disney That Never Was - Rides & Lands That Never Came to Life


Listen Later

Ever wonder what could’ve been inside the Disney Parks?

In this week’s episode of Meet Me on Main Street, Joey takes you on a deep dive into The Disney That Never Was — the rides, lands, and resorts that were planned, announced, and then vanished before opening day.

From Walt’s original dream of EPCOT as a futuristic city… to the mythical dragons of Beastly Kingdom… to Mount Fuji, Fire Mountain, and the mysterious Mary Poppins ride that floated away — this is a nostalgic, cinematic journey through Disney’s biggest “what ifs.”


Along the way, Joey explores how these lost ideas still shaped the parks we know today — and why some dreams never really die at Disney.
