    Thank you so much for sharing. Sad to say I have visited Magic Kingdom many times and I have never visited Tom Sawyer Island or ridden the River boat. We are visiting the parks in a week and these are two of our musts do’s for this trip. Enjoyed both videos on these areas of the park.

      Here's a hint from a long time islander. Tom Sawyer's IS different day and night (not open late very often), but the very best time to go is the middle of the day. Why? Because that's when the "mainland" ride lines are the longest. Both the riverboat and the island are not very crowded all day, so the best use of your time is to rope drop and ride the popular things as much as you can. But after lunch, take your time on both.

      I agree, I love how Disney back in the day even wanted to add animatronics to an area like this. Gonna miss this place for sure but losing the Rivers of America is what really hits me the most. Thank you so much Andrew!

    Sad to see it go. I feel like it could have been re-imagined easily into Tiana's Restaurant. Her ride is right there, the river and Ferry boat fit into the Louisiana / New Orleans theming. Aunt Polly's is never open. Kids today don't know Tom Sawyer. Why not convert that to a full size dining experience. Imagine how cool it would be to take a raft over for your dining plans at her restaurant and maybe even dine out on the dock by the water. It would generate income for Disney and be such a unique experience. Could be a Character Dining experience too which is never cheap. Still leave some of the island to explore, kids love the caves and barrel bridge. But, no one hired me as an imagineer! 🤣

      I find your comment about kids not knowing Tom Sawyer especially sad. Apart from being a section of the park that offers a respite from long lines and crowds, a classic character from American literature is going under the wrecking ball at the Magic Kingdom simply because he is not a Disney IP.

    🛶Island workout day! Hope you were ready for ducking into those cramp caves along with all the steps (spiral😲😲) of the fort, etc. The fort's animatronics were working nicely! Can you imagine what it takes to be sure someone isn't staying there for the night with all those nooks & crannies. Barrel bridge- sorry I laughed when you did only half.. Glad you took your time to show all the paths. Can't beat the views and I wonder what cool last sunset shots you could get of BTM in the background. A+ archival 💜

      Haha this honestly felt like a workout in a way😂 Definitely have some back pain from those caves and the barrel bridge lol but otherwise I made it out alive! I loved the views/sounds of the park from the island more than anything, that’s definitely what I’m gonna miss the most about Tom Sawyer Island itself. Can’t say I’m excited about eventually hearing the loud sounds of the new Cars attractions instead of the peacefulness of the Rivers of America🙃 Thank you so much as always Liz!!

    Hey 4K WDW! This video is truly amazing. My only gripe is that you did not film the animatronic in the Guard House at Fort Langhorn. He is the repurposed figure of the long-rumored "Man In The Web" from the Haunted Mansion. If you had included that, this video would be a 100% documentation of Tom Sawyer Island. Hopefully, we can see another visit filmed. I believe there is still plenty of time.

    I was wondering when Disney was going to change Tom Sawyer Island. Never thought they would fill it in for another attraction. It's going to be strange not seeing the Riverboat not passing thru. Thank you for the video. Not many people will do this.

    • @4KWDW
      @4KWDW  3 дні тому

      I agree, I always thought it would be reimagined with a current IP or something. I certainly never expected Disney to completely remove the Rivers of America or the Riverboat. I’m really going to miss the atmosphere of this area of the park more than anything. Thank you so much as always!

    Thank you so much for this wonderful video, 4K. TSI has not been as regular stop for us since children all grown, but still good family memories there. Seems with the overcrowding, expanding the park for Cars would be a better move than replacing an old attraction. But if it must be replacement, Storybook Circus + Speedway may be a better option than TSI, imo.

    • @4KWDW
      @4KWDW  3 дні тому

      No problem, I’m glad I could film a long walkthrough like this before it’s all gone. The Speedway definitely needs to be replaced eventually, that space certainly could be utilized much better. Thank you as always!

    We have walked on the island a few times nice. We think that over the years Disney could have added a few things to keep up with the times. This is 50’s and 60’s ERA not TRON. In any event leave the island and rive boat alone!!!! In the last 10 years Disney has destroyed so many attractions EPCOT for one, that is our options. T&M LINY

    In today’s series of things that Disney is getting rid of; here’s another thing that I’m not going to be too upset that is being removed. Yes maybe it was good to get out of the sun for a little while and go visit the tunnels. But as they start getting rid of the frontier land motif, this just doesn’t fit in the park anymore. I know it’s part of Disney’s original ideas. But anytime I go over there. It just seems dead. They’ll finally be able to utilize the space properly; even though I thought the attraction should still replace the Speedway.
    But hey, thanks for the great detail of just about every nook and cranny of the island

      I’m gonna miss it for sure but Tom Sawyer Island itself wasn’t really my thing. What I liked the most about it was that view of BTM lol, and also just the quietness of the entire island. What I’m really gonna miss is the Rivers of America and the atmosphere of the area. Still can’t believe the Speedway lives on though🙃 Thanks so much as always Craig!
