Looks great! A coat of new paint can make a huge difference!

Looks great! I've never been in this before, and it was closed on my last trip. Next time!

Do we have a before/after photo? I can't remember what vegetation looked like before...

Seems nice to actually see the treehouse. Everything was so overgrown !!

As always, thanks for the photo update!! Now that you mention it, it did seem like the tree was lived-in but abandoned. These pictures make it look like the Robinsons are actually living there, just away for the day. The new (or newly working) water features look really cool.

Photo update as of Wednesday, Oct 26. Swiss Family Robinson Tree House opened yesterday, Tuesday, October 25. A lot of wooden walkways and railings were replaced, and new paint applied, but with Imagineer "weathering," it all appears to have been there for some time, as it blends in well. The three most visible improvements: (1) the "rooms" in which all the furniture has been refinished and looks beautiful, with new clothes and bedding laid out; (2) the removal of vegetation during refurbishment allows more light into the tree; and (3) the water features are operative. The living spaces are clean now, with no visible dirt as if the tree house had been abandoned. 171716 171717

Not likely. We were there and "Hurricane Matthew" was really just a big storm. Unless it messed up something in progress, it shouldn't have affected normal operations.

Is this anyway related to Hurricane Matthew and any possible damage?

I've not been the biggest fan of "interactive queue" elements, but this is an attraction that might see some benefit if it had some throughout!

What could they possibly be doing for this long of a refurbishment? Will there be any major changes? I can't imagine that a regular cleaning/painting would take this long. Perhaps they are adding a Media Room with Dolby Digital Surround Sound, a wet bar, and a powder room off to the side. The Robinson's are finally getting the finished basement they've always wanted!!! :)
