Wonders of Life was a pavilion about health & fitness in Future World East from 1989 to 2007. It opened occasionally during Food & Wine Festival from 2007 to 2018. It consisted of attractions such as Body Wars and Cranium Command.
Body Wars was a simulation ride similar to Star Tours where guests where shrunk down in spaceship to remove a splinter from a patient's body.

An edutainment show of the importance of the human brain and its relationship of the body.
The guests' ship, Bravo 229, went from the loading bay to a small chamber where technicians used a "particle reducer" to make the ship and crew smaller. They were then sent inside the patient's body and saw white blood cells heading to destroy a splinter.
The visitors came to a small piece of wood and met Dr. Lair as she started counting cells. She got pulled into a small blood vessel by accident. Braddock went into the blood vessel too, which was not allowed. Braddock guided the ship past the heart and into the right ventricle. The visitors went into the lungs where Dr. Lair was being attacked by a white blood cell. Braddock used his lasers to rescue her and bring her on board.
The ship was running out of power. Dr. Lair said they should use the brain's energy to recharge it. The ship traveled through the body to reach the brain, and a nerve cell helped it regain power. It then got bigger and came out of the person's body. The team was praised for a successful rescue as people left the ship.
The main show took place in a theater that looked like the inside of a human head. The outside world was shown on video screens where the eyes would be. Buzzy, played by Scott Curtis, was a robot on a moving seat. He acted as a twelve-year-old boy and introduced us to the logical Left Brain and the wacky Right Brain on other video screens. There were also video screens below the "eyes" showing a hungry Stomach, a panicky Bladder, an overreacting Adrenal Gland, and the heart's Right and Left Ventricles, played by various actors.
The Hypothalamus, which controls automatic body functions, was shown as a robot in a show. The show followed Buzzy through a normal day: waking up, not eating breakfast, going to school, meeting a girl named Annie, getting into a food fight at lunch, being sent to the principal, and being thanked and kissed by Annie. Throughout the day, Buzzy's body parts talked to him and explained their issues. In the end, they worked together and realized that they could accomplish almost anything with teamwork and cooperation.
It was closed in 2007 with no reason given by Disney.
