    Power goes out at Walt Disney World. The lights of the iconic rides and attractions go out and the Happiest Place on Earth is deathly silent.

In the Enchanted Tiki Room, the birds begin to fall to the floor. Park walkways are nearly unrecognizable. Any animals left in Animal Kingdom have either escaped or died.

In Animal Kingdom, Expedition Everest stands tall, a monolith over the park.

Vines have worked their way up Rapunzel's Tower, and they topple it. It's fall wipes out The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh and Mickeys Philharmagic.

The ceilings of Its Tough to be a Bug and Muppet-Vision 3D give in, but the structures remain.

### 30 Years After People

The skin has peeled off of the motionless animatronics and reduced them to skeletons. Kali River Rapid and Tommorowland Speedway are swallowed by plants and gone forever. Over in Hollywood, the Sorcerer Mickey Hat is merely a skeleton. A heavy rainstorm sends it toppling to the floor. The Tree of Life is destroyed.

### 35 Years After People

Spaceship Earth's six support pylons are overgrown, but still support the ride. Florida is known for hurricanes, and a Category 4 is closing in fast on Disney. It tears through the resort, flooding World Showcase and destroying the remains of Toontown. In Animal Kingdom, Kilimanjaro Safari is destroyed, as well as Chester and Hester's. Most small attractions are wiped off the face of the Earth.

### 45 Years After People

Cinderella's Castle, along with much of Adventureland, burns due to all the park's fireworks going off at once. Hollywood Studios suffers a similar fate, burning down The Great Movie Ride, as well as Voyage of the Little Mermaid.

### 50 Years After People

Most of the rockwork on attractions such as Big Thunder Mountain has broken apart. Water rides such as Pirates of the Caribbean, It's a Small World and Splash Mountain have flooded long ago, and have been eaten away at and are destroyed. The theaters for Finding Nemo the Musical as well as Flights of Wonder are overgrown and collapse.

### 65 Years After People

### 150 Years After People

The Haunted Mansion crumbles and becomes, like the ghosts it once advertised, no more than a spirit. Across the Magic Kingdom, Space Mountain collapses. It falls in a circular pattern.

### 180 Years After People

Despite the fact that most of Disney World has collapsed, three rides still stand: Expedition Everest, Big Thunder Mountain and Spaceship Earth. Which of these monuments to the past will last the longest? Only time will tell.

### 200 Years After People

Expedition Everest, the last remaining structure in Animal Kingdom is on its last legs. The fall of the Yeti 190 years earlier damaged the rides' foundation and being submerged in over 30 feet (9 m) of water isn't helping. Finally, the entire mountain pulls itself to the ground in a Vegas implosion style collapse. Animal Kingdom is no more. Hollywood Studios' ruins are also swallowed in a sinkhole.

### 500 Years After People

While the rest of the Magic Kingdom has collapsed, Big Thunder Mountain stands, rising tall over the former Magic Kingdom. However, Mother Nature is about to put the brakes on this runway train ride. A sinkhole opens under what was once The Haunted Mansion, and it spreads, swallowing Thunder Mountain. The ride(s) is over.

### 1,000 Years After People

   Spaceship Earth is the last reminder that Walt Disney World ever existed. It sits in the middle of a swamp, submerged in over 100 feet (30 m) of water, rising more and more rapidly. Eventually, two of the pylons give out, having lasted 1000 years. The entire sphere rolls over onto its side, and is sunk. Walt Disney World is now gone, the Magic has ended for good.
