According to Disney's refurbishment calendar, the Swiss Family Treehouse in Magic Kingdom is scheduled to close for maintenance beginning November 18, 2024.

The popular walkthrough attraction will remain closed for just over a month, with a reopening date currently set for December 20, 2024.

The Swiss Family Treehouse, inspired by the classic Disney film Swiss Family Robinson, offers guests an opportunity to explore the elaborate, hand-crafted structure built by a shipwrecked family. Disney hasn’t announced specific updates or changes for this refurbishment.

I really hope that they never try to retheme this with newer IP. But if enough parents complain that little Billy and Jenny don't know who the Robinson family is, then we all know what will happen.

I wonder what the chances are we get the Adventureland update DL's treehouse got in the future. Obviously 1 month is too short but you never know, they could do it next refurb.

Have the water buckets been fixed yet? Maybe they can work on that while it’s down

I loved this attraction from my first visit in 1975. Even with the Swan Boats going by it, I felt called to hang out in that tree! ;)

I was endlessly fascinated with this as a kid. All of the ways they repurposed items. I'd make my mom go through it with me multiple times a trip. And love the view at the top. I'm sorry to say it's been a while since I've walked through. Does seem odd timing for closure. Wonder what the issue is.

I won't say I walk through it every trip to the MK, but I love that it is there ... I love it later iin the evening when it is especially quiet and you can walk through the whole structure without interruption... It is so charming.

Seem like this may be a somewhat urgent matter.
