I’m old enough to remember the playing in the fort. To me it was the best part, aside from the caves. The island is so much fun. Great memories
-
Wow, thanks for the memories. I always loved Tom Sawyers Island and the riverboat. I went there when I was 8 years old when it first opened. So much fun to explore.
-
As an avid Disneyland fan, Tom Sawyer’s island is truly a treat. I don’t go often but I absolutely love anytime I have a chance to explore.

Several years ago, my husband and I were invited by the captain of the Mark Twain to ride in the Wheel House. I thought it was a once in a lifetime adventure, but it turns out that they invite one family up on every trip. My husband is a Disney fanatic, so he really loved it. Also, I've been on the canoes, and I think it's way too much work for a ride :-)
-
As someone who lives in Florida and visits WDW often Disneyland is the greatest ever yall
-
I would spend 2 hours just exploring the island as a kid back in the 60’s. I need to go back there.
-
The old Disneyland. ❤️
-
Those Corn Dogs are the best, makes me happy to see it's still there! Even as a little kid the Matterhorn was always my favorite plus Pirates!
-
I loved the island on my first visit, 1959. I was 10. I explored and forgot reality the whole time. Fought Indians, played with huck fin, got lost in caves. It was GREAT.

I love Tom Sawyer's Island! Haven't been there since they put "Pirate's Lair" in. We used to be able to play in the fort, so much fun! When we ate at Hungry Bear one time years ago, my son (he was about 5) really wanted to ride the canoes! Neither my husband or I had ever been on them! It was lots of fun, but my husband ended up doing most of the paddling with the guide at the end of the ride HA! All the little kids (and moms) tired out! Thanks for the fun video 😀
-
Fond memories. My history at Disneyland goes back to when they sold tickets for the rides in addition to admission - hence the term “an A ticket”. 59 years ago my girlfriend and I did Graduation Night at Disneyland. Everything was open, without tickets, from normal closing to dawn. Everything that is except Tom Sawyer’s Island for rather obvious reasons given the crowd of randy 18 year-olds!

I have never done the raft or mark Twain boat but I’ve done the canoes several times. It’s really fun but wait til the kids are old enough to row themselves. They have budding comedians directing the boat. It’s pretty fun. I’d totally recommend it. But the canoes don’t land on the island. Thanks for sharing this part of Disneyland that I’ve never been to
-
I remember the island from my first visit in 1965. I would ride the steam boat around the island but could never figure out how to walk to the encampment where the smoke was. Great fun.
-
Your video brought back many fond memories. Disneyland is a pretty magical place. Thank you so much.
-
My best friend and I would run to Tom Sawyers Island first thing. We'd go to Fort Wilderness, get a pickle or potato chips and a coke then climb up to a spot in the fort and watch people go by. We'd try and run over the pontoon bridge. We'd go through the caverns. There's a lot more to explore then when we were kids (around 50 years ago)! I haven't been to Disneyland in years, but I still love it.
-
Cool video. Haven't been since the 1970s. The river boat runs on tracks.
-
No lie at all...I work for a Tom Sawyer doing yard maintenance on a private boat club that's borderline an island. In California
-
I think you found the best spot in Disneyland for little ones. Thanks for posting.
-
Excellent video! Thank you for the mini vacation. My kids caught the tail end of the Fort Wilderness experience. The island became more “safe” during their childhoods, but there’s still plenty of fun things to do. And- your kids are adorable!!
-
I fondly remember climbing and crawling all over the island decades ago. I was about 7 or 8 (rough guess), and my brother was supposed to be watching me. He would have been about 12 or 13, so he didn't. My parents knew I couldn't get off the island, and unbeknown to me was keeping an eye out on where I was. I thought the place was *huge*, and enjoyed playing there for what seemed to me to be hours. It was great fun, and I highly recommend it for anyone with kids.
