This attraction is based on the 1960 film, "Swiss Family Robinson". The movie is about a family that is shipwrecked on a deserted island and how they create a new life for themselves around their new home, a fantastic tree house fashioned from salvaged items and whatever they could find on the island.

The Disney imagineers have created this tree house with amazing detail. Naturally, the tree is not real, but the creativity involved in it’s construction is certainly genuine. The attraction doesn’t have any animatronics, music or lights, but kids like to scamper around in what must be the greatest treehouse ever built. A path that has many stairs and footbridges takes you through the treehouse, so you can observe it’s numerous rooms and features. If you’re looking for high-tech pizzazz, you’ll be disappointed.

 

 

Don’t wait too long for this attraction, your time is probably better spent in line. If your kids need to run around, take them to Tom Sawyer’s Island.

Visitors must climb many stairs in single file, so the line moves particularly slowly. Unlike rides where you are seated, you can move through this attraction only at the speed of the slowest person. There are spots for people to rest and let other people pass, but if time short skip it.
