Liberty Square Riverboat & Tom Sawyer Island reopening this Friday!

Two attractions in Magic Kingdom are reopening this Friday after being closed for months. Liberty Square Riverboat and Tom Sawyer Island were closed while the Rivers of America were drained and worked on.

Now the Rivers of America have been refilled and this Friday, February 5, the Liberty Square Riverboat is reopening! Guests can once again cruise the scenic Rivers of America aboard an authentic steam-powered paddle wheeler. The Disney World website shows it’ll be available from 9:30 am to 7 pm.

Steam into American history aboard the majestic, Colonial-era Liberty Belle riverboat and enjoy a relaxing half-mile tour around Tom Sawyer Island.

Along the way, listen to a recorded narrator—in the voice of iconic American author and humorist Mark Twain—sharing memories of Twain’s time on the Mississippi.

It’s full steam ahead on this historic, nostalgic trip back to the past!

Tom Sawyer Island will also reopen! Guests can travel by log raft to this secret rustic hideaway inspired by the stories of Mark Twain. As you explore the island, you’ll find adventure aplenty around every corner.

Wander dusty dirt roads lined with tall trees, explore whirling mills and amble across creaky suspension bridges. Navigate narrow passages amid secret mined caves and uncover a frontier fort.

Along the way, follow in the pioneering footsteps of early settlers, during an era when Mark Twain and Tom Sawyer reflected a new nation coming into its own.

Are you as excited as we are for these attractions to reopen?
