Alongside the opening of the Liberty Square Riverboat, Tom Sawyer Island is back open for guests today following the refurbishment of the Rivers of America.

Operating hours for Tom Sawyer Island are currently 11am to 4:30pm. COVID-19 physical distancing means that not many guests are able to board the rafts at one time to cross the river, so be prepared for extended wait times.

Rafts got taken backstage apparently.

I feared that. Happily surprised.

I saw that! They fixed it by mid-late afternoon though.

Our chance to ride her today was foiled by a malfunctioning whistle. Next trip... next trip...

Good to see steam power is back in the magic kingdom! Now about those trains.... haha

So Terry the Turbine got a nice refurb. Much quieter. All the machinery in general was rejuvenated. The animation in the scenes will improve over the coming months as it opened earlier than expected. Certain parts of the deck were supposed to be waterproofed but were not. Turbine (left), reduction gear (center), generator (right).

I never claimed it but I suspected it. I’m glad to see it has reopened.

Remember when someone claimed due to COVID-19 that TSI would never reopen and, instead, it got a nice refurbishment and reopened? Good times.

Chickens haven’t escaped have they!?

North Island has reopened! Blacksmiths are both working! So are the horses. Sound effects at each scene are working too, including our snoring friend.

We were on the same boat as you. Small world :)

Rode on the last sailing Friday night, was so good to see the riverboat back. I've grown quite fond of it over recent years.

I'm so glad to be wrong as well!!
