Cancelled - Port Disney

On the sunny shores of Long Beach California, there was a time in the 1990's when Disney was looking to expand with their second park. What they came up with instead of building next to Disneyland was an incredible and ambitious master plan. This is Port Disney.

[@TheScienceguy77]

My step son is high functioning autistic with down syndrome and he LOVES this channel and especially this series! He's usually non-communicative but as soon as he sees a new Bright Sun video he becomes very verbal! He loves telling his family and anyone who will listen about the content of these videos. :) He remembers each detail of every project, store and theme parks in these videos. It's extraordinary! I've never seen him happier in his life. He even draws his own plans and schematics for parks and other places inspired by this series. Thank you so much Bright Sun Films. You've made him so happy!

[@BrightSunFilms]

That is honestly so incredible to hear. Thank you so much for watching and please make sure you let him know that I thank him for watching as well. Means a lot to me.

[@justinmeyers4292]

Bright Sun Films Wow, your content is touching lives now!

[@cerealbobkiller]

Have you ever considered a video game like Planet Coaster where he could bring to life a theme park of his own? It might be something he'd enjoy

[@Garrettcube]

I’m glad that he can find something that he enjoys! I (like him) always enjoy a bright sun video when it comes out.

[@5roundsrapid263]

That is fantastic! I always drew maps as a kid, and loved making up my own places, too.

[@Thomas-lk5cu]

Imagine drawing a mouse on a paper, and then 80 years later being a gigantic film studio, animation studio, film distributor, hotel chain, cruiseline, and theme park company. If you can dream it, you can do it.

[@robbyu.672]

Of all “canceled” or “abandoned” Disney-related videos you’ve done, this one is something that led me to go “damn, which this really went through” at the end. What a really cool idea.

[@pebblesweeper8083]

As a person who has been living in Long Beach her whole life, it's interesting to learn about what could've been in the city. I've heard about this development before. Such a huge missed opportunity, but I get why it was cancelled 😭 Traffic is already terrible around here, I can't imagine how much worse it could be. Then again, we'll never know 🤷. I like how the city is as it is... but imagine it though,,,a Disney park just a bus ride away??? 🤤 Such an interesting video! You have a new subscriber :)

[@missybarbour6885]

DISNEY CANCELLEDS ARE MY JAM

[@spypink1136]

Ugh...I want to go Disney Sea...it's absolutely awesome! What a gorgeous park...the amount of work and thought put into all the details.

[@lknanml]

I sail over to the Queen Marry quite often. I remember hearing about this park and holy crap. The locals were definitely not into it. Oddly enough we all love the Long Beach Grand Prix...

[@tomanderson6335]

Judging by the project maps, Port Disney probably would have spelled the end of the GP (at least in its traditional location in the city), as the three northern hotels would have been either inside or right next to the circuit.

[@kilted911]

One key issue not mentioned here.... It was stipulated that a certain percentage of employees had to be residents of Long Beach. There was a big concern that The Mouse was going to be forced to hire people who clearly did not meet the Disney employment standards.

[@rwdplz1]

I remember when I was a kid in ~1992, we went to see the Queen Mary as part of our trip to Disney Land. I was excited because I had heard previously the 'Spruce Goose' was in the same location, and wanted to see the biggest plane ever built. We asked a guy when we got there where the plane was, it had just been moved.

[@Vader93]

I love how well put together your videos are. It's awesome to go back and watch some of your first videos and then watch your newer ones and see how much you have improved over all. Well done!

Tokyo DisneySea is definitely the best Disney Park in the world; it's a must-visit every time I'm in Japan! I'm going next week, and I'll definitely be on the lookout for the similarities from the original, like the SS Columbia ship in the American Waterfront that looks strikingly similar to the Queen Mary. Thanks for the amazing content as always!

[@feliznavidad4846]

Yay

[@ryan24a73]

imagine if disneysea in tokyo was built and port disney was built i honestly would have a better disney park to visit than now

[@blondeboyy]

The long Beach site has not been developed as of now and looks very bare and ugly. It is a shame Disney could not build their theme park. Tokyo's Disney Sea is by far the best themed of any of the Disney parks worldwide. Hope they can build another one in North America. Great video Jake!

[@BrightSunFilms]

I agree

[@doesnt_exist_]

I enjoy the northern part, on the side with the aquarium. I am glad the theme park wasn't built because I enjoy walking up the hill. But on the side with the Queen Mary, I agree, its ugly af.

[@danman367]

Long Beach traffic is already bad as it is with single or 2 lane streets. Disney coming here would not be a good idea.

[@Revkor]

blame the idiots that run that state

[@paul28177]

Tokyo DisneySea is awful... It has very few rides, of which most have very short attraction time (you wait about an hour for a 2min ride)... there is a lot of empty space to walk around... nothing really links up... they also have rides for old movies that most kids and even some adults dont know. It's an ok themepark, they used ideas from Port Disney, but apart from a few characters and the Toy Story Land, it's doesn't feel like a disney theme park.

Wow I can’t believe I never knew about this! Thanks for educating & entertaining me. As a resident of Southern California, the Queen Mary / Carnival cruise port area is ghetto as hell. Sucks this never happened. Keep up the great work Jake! ❤️

[@andresreyes5398]

Seems like you haven't been to downtown Long Beach in awhile a lot of this space has been developed and the rest of the space next to the Queen Mary is currently in the planning phase for a 250million development along with 10 plus developments/high rise going into downtown LB currently,far from a dump if all these developers want in on downtown lb

[@Lmarcanov1978]

@@andresreyes5398 he's referring to Queens way and the container areas that surround Queen Mary and the Carnival port, besides a little marina and hotel, there is nothing new on that side....it's all 60s and 70s!!! There is a moderate project in the works by the current QM operator that might bring some new flavor to that area and make it more attractive.

[@jacksonplaysgames2422]

[@randallwatson8760]

Once more you educate and entertain at the same time. Love the painstaking research you do for each video, when you interview people that were involved with the projects you cover and include them, it makes the videos even better. Being a research nerd myself it shows you really do enjoy the topic you are covering. Couple that with your documentary narrator quality voice, and you have a video that is fun to watch and we end up learning something too. As Bill Cosby used to say on Fat Albert, when you watch a Jake Williams video, If you are not careful, you may learn something before it's done. I learn something in every video. Keep up the great work Jake. Randall Watson Aurora, Missouri

[@Ashley-mj9je]

Amazing video on a cancelled Disney project I've always been fascinated with, but never able to find satisfying info on!! I live about 25 min from Long Beach and currently work in the city. As stunning as the project sounds, I'm glad it was never realized in LB - the city has bigger civilian issues without taking on the space, traffic, and tax burden of Port Disney imo. The surrounding area w/ the current aquarium is cute (though still needing an update). Plus it would have been redundant with Anaheim less than an hour away...glad it was finally somewhat brought to life in Japan and would love to see it one day! Great work on the vid, as always

[@dennik535]

this was really interesting. i worked at the queen mary while it was still owned by wrather. i still had a lot of friends there when disney took over. it wasn't a happy transition for most of the employees, and i can see why people were reluctant to get behind it. i don't know how disney is today, but i know when eisner was in charge, people did not like or trust him when it came to what he was proposing in long beach. i can't say i'm sorry that it was never built.

It sounds as if Paradise Pier/Pixar Pier at DCA owes something to the Port Disney plan too, specifically the old-time amusement park recreation. I think that of all of the never-built Disney park proposals (Disney's America, Westcot, the villain park, Beastly Kingdom at AK, the floating park in the old oil tanker)... this is the coolest.
