A good change of pace to the rest of WDW. Deserves to remain but I bet your kids don't know who Tom Sawyer is. - Mark Moore

That’s still open? Kidding. It’s charming, but I keep waiting for Tom, Becky and Huck to get the heave-ho and make better use of this piece of prime property. - Rob McCullough

Tom Sawyer island is a great place to relax and explore. The dark caves may give you the willies but it's all worth it to see the detail. - Evan Wood

Never realy noticed it. ITS COOL HOW ITS ON AN ISLAND IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PARK=) - Dan Rosenberg

Kids have a good time here just running free and exploring. Great place to let them stretch a bit and for the parents to find some shade and relax. Good attention to detail. I do wish there were ways onto the island besides that raft....seems like it is never ready to leave when you are! - James Rao

Great to get lost in this world of yesteryear. Great detail embedded here as well. - Wilfredo Alvelo

My old home! Chat up your raft driver and enjoy some hard-working playtime on this fun little island. (It really helps to have kids who have read the book!) - Robert Niles
