I think Walt would be disappointed that that whole area will be gone. I don't think Tom Sawyer island is visited that much in general but we still go there. I LOVE the riverboat, the breeze, the leisurely way to spend some quiet time amidst all the hustle and bustle of WDW. That said, I know that Walt never wanted the parks to be "finished" but I wonder if there isn't some way they could combine both-keep the riverboat and river at least, AND have a new Cars land!

The magic of Disney that keeps me coming back year after year comes from the simple ambiance that Walt strived for. The smells, the sights, the attention to details, the secrets... strolling on the walkway along the Rivers of America, especially at night, with the gas lamps glowing and the background music of the ole" frontier... that's why I'm here. Please don't take that away.

I think it's a shame that Walt purchased so much land so as he could always be expanding. Yet instead of actually expanding, they just keep replacing the old with the new (I know Villans is going to be on a new area). There is SO MUCH land on property that is still available to develop. I just feel like the sight lines will be so off with all of that removed. TSI is such a lovely respite from the hustle and bustle of the parks.

Hi Nate! Ok here’s my opinion on Tom Sawyer island….. Before I had children and now that my children are older, we rarely if ever go to Tom Sawyers island. However , I brought my twin boys for the first time when they were five. They wouldn’t ride anything. They were scared of characters. You know what saved our vacation and made the best memories- good ole Tom Saywers Island. They loved it! And for parents it’s a chill little minute that’s not so noisy or crowded. It’s a perfect escape for anyone with little, or kiddos on the spectrum. Now, I love Cars and I’m not anti cars land/ride. Not at all. But I d not want it instead of Tom Sawyers, I want it AND Tom Sawyers island! It’s a beautiful area and it will feel so weird and landlocked without that water. In fact we stayed in a cars suite at AOA. We all loved the over the top theming. Also- your relationship with your mom and sister and Ariel is awesome. I hope one day my grown boys have a fun nd sweet relationship with me too. Keep up all the things you’re doing. You deserve it. Much love from a twin Mom

It was Disney Magic with a Steamboat whistle. 😪

That was wild to even see Tom Sawyer's island - most KZbinrs don't show it. It seems people love the "vibe" of it. I think natural elements including lots of green spaces, water and wood are what speaks to people. They need to design the new area with that in mind. A great landscape architect can create something magical. That is what is needed. It seems Walt Disney World needs more mature trees and shade.

I have so many feelings about this! I agree with Nate that the Cars attractions will draw more guests to the area than Rivers of America or Tom Sawyer Island, but the aesthetic of the area will be lacking when you can’t see the riverboat sailing by The Haunted Mansion and feel that vibe that is classic Disney. I would want Rivers of America and Tom Sawyer Island to be saved because I feel that the vibe is worth saving. From a financial standpoint, I realize that Disney needs to maximize their space and that I haven’t visited the island on every trip, but Walt bought enough land to be able to preserve this and build on. I realize that my kids and I have never really connected with Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn the way we have with Lightning McQueen and Mater. Those characters are more known in my parents’ generation. I appreciate that a Cars themed land will give my kids the chance to share their childhood with their future children. Still, we have so much fun every time we do go to the island. I loved seeing my kids get excited by walking through those sloped caves that make you feel like you’re walking sideways. Sometimes it’s good to visit the past.
