This Guy Swam in the Lake!

Covert Operation to Discovery Island. He did post in after thought that he didn't know about the gators or ameoba. But he got some cool pictures.

Wow thats crazy.

 

[catycatcat4]

Wow that was kinda cool to see the pictures i wish there was more.

 

[WaltD4Me]

Wow. That is something. How people think of this stuff? I bet it was pretty eerie on that island, but the pictures were very, very cool.

 

[YukiPhnx]

omg. This is incredible and sooo eerie at the same time

 

[Tink rules]

& he wasn't lunch for an alligator?

He's nuts... he might have been run over by one of those mouse sprites... those are more dangerous than some unseeable ameoba...

 

[Tink rules]

Too bad the Vultures weren't bigger...

 

[Disney Khi]

That is so cool. I remember always wanting to go to Discovery Island as a kid, but I never got to go. I am pretty sure I would be way too spooked by the island to go now even if I didn't have to swim through the lake to get there!

Then, without warning, we were charged by a large, rampaging polar bear !

We thought all was Lost, until a man dressed in a burial suit and top hat pointed out the way to the smoke monster, who was providing us with fish biscuits and told us to be wary of The Others.....

I have some fond memories of visiting Discovery Island, it made for a very nice day away from the hustle and bustle of the parks and I was disappointed when they closed it.

WOW! There is no way I would ever be brave enough to try something like that. Those photos were great, but they kind of reminded me of the beginning of a horror movie "we found the island abandoned and the cages empty...
and swimming at night in ANY body of water in FL that is not of the cement pond variety filled with chlorine Gators, snakes and relocated Bull sharks is ALL I would have been able to think about Those are 3 very brave souls.

I feel the same way.... but replace the words 'brave enough' with idiotic enough!!

Hey it's their call, but don't expect Disney to come save you if you did something stupid! If one of them got hurt, how would they get back onto the mainland?

Sure it is interesting, but Disney doesn't want you there, probably for a reason. I hope they do something with it in the future though.

 

[dkostel]

What idiots! I'm guessing that is the kind of thing that could get you bounced from Disney for life. To me that's scarrier than gators.

That exactly what I was thinking.

For those of you who investigate the blog further....you might want to do it when there are not kids in the room...few nude photos there just an FYI .

 

[Kimberle]

There are also poisenious snakes. Remember when Walter & the guys went fishing from a boat. They posted a video of the guide telling them they'd move from a certain area because she saw a snake that would "rock your world".....

too funny

 

[figment3258]

wow is all i can say and not a good wow

 

[Stacy's a freak]

How exciting! I defintely wouldn't have the nerve to do that but what a cool adventure for those guys (and slightly stupid for the reasons posted above). I'm glad they had no incidents and were able to post the info!

 

[eeyorelvr09]

This was insane. Glad that him and his friends were able to get out safely.
