Tom Sawyer Island

[DIAC1987]

Tom Sawyer Island is an excellent escape from the crowds of Magic Kingdom. its also perfect for taking pictures---especially that of Haunted Mansion.

One of the subtle changes I would make to Frontierland if I had the opportunity would be that everytime a child fires one of the guns from the fort in Tom Sawyer Island, the guests riding Big Thunder hear the gunshots on their side, just to enhance the attraction a little. Maybe with even more effort, some sand getting kicked up as the gunfire is heard.

I love Tom Sawyer's Island...I don't why it gets such a bad rap. I think they need to do more things over there!

I think TSI was cooler before everyone got so "lawsuit happy"...

My nephew has just finished his cross training at TSI and now is fully trained on all of Frontierland.

Woo hoo! Congrats! That's awesome! What other lands has he worked in?

So far just Frontierland. He's only been there since last August. Started with the college program and now is going to school in Orlando and working at the MK full time.

It's still cool to be able to say that you're certified for the whole land! I remember being certified for every ride in our (non-Disney) park except for one...and that was sort of by choice. It was a great feeling regardless.

I'm very proud of him!! He's always want to work at WDW and get a degree with something involving amusement parks. He's been a member of ACE since he's 7 and has or had his own Roller Coaster web site. He's living out his dream. How many of us can say that?

August will be our 3rd trip in 12 months, so we'll be doing some of the "rest" (since we were previously only doing best of the best). So we'll hit TSI, the Liberty Belle, Swiss Family Staircase, etc.

Thanks for the tips in finding the paintbrushes. I had always wondered how many there were, how big (full size or miniature), and whether or not they really existed.

Perfect spot to go during busy times of the year... less crowded!
