Formerly the Richard F. Irvine Liberty Square Riverboat, this large-capacity paddle-wheel steamship navigates the waters around Tom Sawyer Island and Fort Langhorn, passing cabins, an Indian village, and some animatronic wildlife. A relaxing way to take a scenic tour of Frontierland and Liberty Square.

Nice way to escape the crowds. 6/10 - Christopher Sturniolo

Long and Boring - Brendan Harrison

A fabulous and overlooked part of the Magic Kingdom experience. - Man-Eating Sharks

nothing special. 1/10 - Dominick D

Far from a must-see, but it's a nice way to relax and pass some time if you don't have anywhere else you'd rather be. - Abagail Bloodworth

A good way to pass the time waiting to go on something else with a Fast Pass. - Brandie S

A chance to take some good pictures of BTMR as you lazily float along. Something to do when you have nothing else to do. - James Rao

I use to love this when I was a child, but am not sure it is worth a ride now. The views aren't amazing and if you only have a day here your time would be better spent elsewhere in the park. On this visit it was themed as a promotion for the Princess and the Pea film and a show called Tianna's Showboat Jubilee took place on board. This was a nice temporary feature. - Emily G

Do this if you have done everything else! At least you can then say you have been on a paddle steamer... - Mark Moore

You have to be Disney phobe to see any value in this thing. It's a "ride" only in the sense that it moves. - jim mclaughlin
