Tom Sawyer Island & Riverboat Closing – FINAL FULL Tour, Fort, Caves & History | Disney World
Disney World is closing Tom Sawyer Island and the Liberty Square Riverboat, and this could be your last chance to see it all before construction begins! Join us for a full, in-depth farewell tour, exploring every inch of Tom Sawyer Island, including Fort Langhorn, the dark caves, the barrel bridge, and the secret paths.
We also ride the Liberty Belle Riverboat, talk about the history of Disney World’s Rivers of America, and even cover the famous Riverboat Pilot’s License before it disappears forever!
With construction coming soon, we’ll discuss what’s next for this area and how the new Disney World expansion could change Frontierland forever. Could Cars Land be coming to Magic Kingdom? Will these classic attractions be abandoned and forgotten?
Don’t miss this final look at Tom Sawyer Island and the Liberty Belle before Disney World erases them forever!
