WDW Tom Sawyer Island is a relic of the past! Magic Kingdom STV

The Magic Kingdom's best hidden secret, for Disneyland fans anyway, is the often forgotten Tom Sawyer's island, which has so many relics of the past that still exist at Walt Disney World in Orlando, but have long since disappeared at home in Anaheim. Hop on the raft and meet me on the Island as I discuss Florida plans and peek into Fort Langhorne here on the Sometimes Vlog!

To think I am still watching you after 6 years or even more. From secondary school, to college, now at university. I will never stop watching your videos, especially when I am studying. Keep going Justin

[@Bowling_Dude]

my favorite thing about Tom Sawyer Island when I was a kid was in the busy months they would open up Aunt Polly's which had the most delightful PB&J

[@ElliottStubbs]

Got To play here as a kid it was around 1995 so parents had bought us pirate muskets back when Disney used to sell pew pews and me and my brother wanted to stay in Tom sawyers island for the rest of the day we where not bothered to miss out on coasters etc just wanted to play in the worlds biggest play fort… such a great memory going back next year with my own child I doubt it will be the same experience… anyway thanks for the great vids watched you for a long time now and they never disappoint will be getting randomland hat for my visit

[@wesleyrussell8386]

so much Justin lore lol! I knew most of it already! I'm looking forward to the room tours, I love when you look through those huge themed suites!

[@Outer.Haven-Media]

Nice to see you out and about again 😻

[@jakehess27]

of all of the Disney Park channels that have popped up through the years, yours is still the best!

[@dalemorison7918]

Actually I distinctly remembergoing through, "The Escape Tunnel," on Tom Sawyer Island at Magic Kingdom, back in August of 1975, I was like 10 years old, had only just turned 10 about a month before at that point, and was Nervous as all crap the whole time walking through the tunnel, convinced that it was haunted, and that something or somebody was following me during my whole time in there, Creepy as anything!!

[@Del-Lebo]

I always loved Tom Sayer Island and at 67 years old...I still call it Tom Sawyer Island! In Disneyland!

[@robertfahrer7691]

I love tom Sawyers island! So many memories there and always a blast to visit! Keep up the great videos!

[@TheChrisJaynes]

Since you asked and never answered. The fort at Disneyland is called Fort Wilderness. I wish they could find a way to reopen it and stage the Fantasmic stuff elsewhere. It, too, had an escape tunnel. As teenagers, we used to play hide-and-seek on the island. Good times. 🙂

[@marcmooney9293]

We have the Enchanted Forest in the PNW, Salem Oregon that has a fort as well. Definitely inspired by Disneyland. With tunnels and stuff. A classic park!

[@wvugirl2007]

Great video. I haven’t been on Tom Sawyer Island in about 20 years. I’m not sure why I’ve skipped it since my I was a teenager. I can’t wait for your video with AdamTheWoo. A day at WDW with you two would be amazing!

[@DALEf4u]

Spent last weekend at Disneyland celebrating my great nephews 5th birthday there. My niece and her family stayed at the Disneyland Hotel. We had to go through three people and tell them we were just going to drop off a present at the front desk which my niece checked on before she arrived and they said it was fine. My sister said she had to deal with a number of people just to leave it at the front desk and finally someone said they would take care of it. All they had to do was call my nieces room and she would come down and get it. lol.

[@Rose258V]

I definitely, have to go back to see the fort. I get lost, on Tom Sawyer Island. Didn’t know it existed, as of a little while back, probably because of your videos, now I know. I’m so sad. Hopefully I can make it back.

[@larataylor6496]

I’ve been to WDW 3 times since 1999 and we never made it to their Island so I will definitely visit it our next visit… not sure 🤔 when 😊

[@janinevose2303]

there were nice chairs that faced Big Thunder, really nice place to sit and relax!

[@jonathanlawrence1401]

Justin talking about his wealthy friends and getting to share with us, reminds me of the time he awkwardly got locked out of the suite without having his name on the account!

[@BostonRho]

I’m totally watching you because I watch Adam 😂 I watched the Princess room tour first and you got a new fan 😊

[@larataylor6496]

We stayed at Pop Century and I loved it! Very nostalgic 😊

[@dougossont9639]

You did a Port Orleans review several years ago, I ended up staying there.... It was everything you said it would be. Thanks!!

[@larataylor6496]

I wish we could still visit our Fort 😢

[@CricketLegz__]

That's awesome! Im a born and raised in Hannibal. Your fav haha

[@KeithGosik]

Thanks for all that you share with us.

[@lizlocher3612]

Little Girl's want to be pirates, too!! Ee are called "Outlaw Women" n there is a song about it by Hank Williams Jr. You gotta listen to it if you havent already!!!

[@BLAZER20091]

This is awesome Justin 😁😁😁😁

[@BanazirGalpsi1968]

I'd love for California ton sawer to be restored to Walt's drawn plan as it exitists in the family museum.

[@lizlocher3612]

I think it is TOTALLY AWESOME that they still have the guns in the defense slots at the Fort!! Classics are classics, not to be "toyed" with?? PC is out of control!! These things lived as they are and should STILL exist in their historical content!!!!

[@DarkPesco]

I am not surprised there are guns remaining in the Florida incarnation of the island. The fact that the remaining guns being targeted at other park guests, on Big Thunder, is one of those things that makes you go...hmmm... I'm not anti-gun. I am conscious of how they might be played with and how certain scenarios might not be emotionally healthy.

[@nicholasmcgowan66]

I do have to correct you in one area, though. I believe you said Disney opened Tom Sawyer's Island at The Magic Kingdom in 1975 (if I misunderstood you, then my apologies). It opened in 1973, about a year-and-a half after The Magic Kingdom officially opened in October of 1971.

[@nicesky360]

HEY JUSTIN!!! If I saw you in the park, I'd probably flip out too. Hahaha. If that ever happens, I'll try to contain myself. 😂

[@larataylor6496]

TSI is Fort Wilderness. I used to work inside the fort in the early 90’s selling food 😊

[@lynjenkins6473]

The Princes Diana vid is excellent. There is only one thing my daughter and I could see wrong, and we both told you off at the same time.😂

[@travissapp4961]

Cool glad u had fun

[@Project-Jaden]

We need to see your dad’s fort photos!

[@lizlocher3612]

If you want to see an actual real fort, try Mackinaw Island in Mackinaw City Michigan. There are two authentic forts, one on the Island itself that you can take a pirate boat to, n one in Mackinaw City, both VERY worth seeing, as well as Mackinaw Island itself, n Mackinaw City has tons of fun things to do as well!!! I would LOVE to see you n Allie go there n do a vlog or two in warm weather!!!! These places have been there since the 1700's or so!!! Attaboy, Justin Scarred n Allie!!!

[@BLAZER20091]

This is awesome Justin.

[@VeroniqueDesaever]

Thank you very much for sharing your amazing vlog. Love too meet you and Ally some day in Disney land Paris I’m a big fan

[@GangaKris]

I just watched Adam's video. Oh , that was interesting. Can't wait to see your take on it!

[@erinz.2131]

Love these vlogs!!

[@thomwerner888]

Dude , you are the best. I love this stuff.

[@millcity9711]

...."Future king of Netflix" Lol...thanks for that one,

[@joangravel2436]

Thanks for your awesome video

[@rkstevenson5448]

The word you were looking for was gunhole or gunloop, though now they're generally just called embrasures.

[@smokingfoxx]

An error on the princess Di suite video? Oh.. missed it. Great video

[@larataylor6496]

I will be heading over to the Tiki Market and I’ll stop by to say hello 👋🏻

[@laurentscholtes8770]

Are you going to visit the newly renovated and reopened Disneylandhotel in Disneyland Paris? 😊 we will be there in April 🎉 can’t wait

[@mebluewater]

Hey Justin, did you do a video about swamp fest? I'm waiting for it. Lol😁

[@thomwerner888]

Thanks!

[@guntherflume7129]

Take us to MT home in Hartford ❤

[@chrisbrown2191]

The guns on Tom Sawyer island in Florida were pneumatic in the 70s and 80s

[@heathergibbs2904]

I liked and shared this video 📹 out your welcome Justin 😊❤

[@cruisingwithwilliam]

Good morning Justin

[@amyabrams2871]

I literally Lol’d when you said Prince Harry was the future king of Netflix!!! 😂😂😂

[@BriggsStratton11]

Justin, where did you get that black jacket you wore in Adams Swampfest vid? It's awesome. I subscribed

[@TreadwellJay]

The rifles used to shoot puffs of compressed air.

[@catherinetozzi8056]

Hi Justin, just watched you with Adam at that crazy suicidal event, I can’t believe I watched it all, Where’s Abby? ❤️🙏🏽

[@lizlocher3612]

EVERY Fort had an escape tunnel, ti get away from the Indians n whatever country's soldiers they were fighting in that area ar that time of it being built!!! It is SUPER COOL 😎🤠 that they STILL have it marked and for usage;!! Way to keep the attraction historicaly correct!!! Attaboy, Disney World n Justin Scarred!!! Good find!!!

[@larataylor6496]

The barrel bridge has sunk

[@BanazirGalpsi1968]

I wouldn't call it a relic,mainly because for some reason it makes people discount it. In stead I'd call it a treasure, an inheritance, a jewel, a pearl, words like that.

[@joycemadrid8405]

I like this video.⛴️🛶 Prince Harry King of Netflix!🤣🤣Oh, live Donkies!🫏 I'm glad you're having fun.🌴🌳🌲🪨🏞️ 🚪Checking out Disney hotels, nice. Pun intended. ❤ Can't wait for future videos.😊

[@alison2649]

The lack of guns thing, think someone figured out that Man’s fixation with guns started when they were boys…so ya maybe if little boys don’t get to play with guns then perhaps they’ll grow up less enamored with them and it’ll give the rest of us a chance to

[@SeniorWhoopyIRL]

I swear to God I ran into you if you saw a dude with a hat with a bandanna underneath I gave you a fist bump that was me I could’ve sworn it was you, but I was uncertain so I didn’t stop from playing Pokémon GO. I just gave the piss bump and carried on but hopefully that was you and hopefully you have a great time at the parks. Next time I run into you, I’m gonna definitely make sure to introduce myself. 🤙

[@TheKirkosable]

Swampfest!

[@gringoinmexico3052]

I had a pirate double shot gun from Disneyland.

[@robertnessful]

Rifles facing Big Thunder Mountain are to defend the fort from that pesky dynamite toating renegade goat.

[@mrljlanier]

Future King of England and the future king of Netflix 🤣🤣🤣

[@bzydad]

I thought it was Spaaaace Mountain that he rode 19 times🤷

[@hyperorbit]

Embrasure? (hole to shoot through)

[@waltnasa]

They are called loopholes

[@michaelstevens6271]

Well, you’re really wound up on this one lol

[@superawesomeu9919]

Trigger well

[@elansmith9291]

Idk he doesn’t look so scared to me

[@salvagemonster3612]

It will be interesting to see what the Zoomers come up with to replace this.

[@redstonecommander5190]

Not without a flashlight

[@DigitalMumbles]

yeaaYEAAHh

[@rh5563]

👍👍👍

[@redstonecommander5190]

15:50 not without a flashlight

[@redstonecommander5190]

If you bring a flashlight with you, but not one of those strong LED flashlights that are too powerful or even a lantern then you can even film the caves and even see better so you don’t have to worry about accidentally bumping into the walls every single time

[@redstonecommander5190]

Of course, there are lots of lanterns in the walls of the caves to help you out, but they don’t help you as much having a very bright bright lantern to bring along with you would be a better option

[@viejoadrian]

The kid watching you....🤭

[@BLAZER20091]

😁😁😁😁😁

[@paperpilot22]

8 seconds? Like a rodeo rider? That’s kinda cool. Don’t worry. You’re allowed 8 seconds of mistake per decade. You’re good to go :)

[@gribbo8706]

Trigger guard…😂

[@billparker962]

Does Sean Connery like herbs? Yes, but only partially.

[@randolphwilliams2365]

America destroys all of their old architecture. That's why I love going to Europe. They do a good job of preserving their history . The last time I went Tom Sawyer Island I had extreme vertigo from Space Mountain and laid down buy one of the paths. I had a lady that stopped and stood there and watched me for about 15 minutes.

[@pigz7041]

Got first view 🎉 been trying for years

[@carilynfirestone3438]

Justin - can't believe you went to Swampfest. Just gross.
