The Swiss Family Treehouse, a walk-through attraction inspired by Disney’s Swiss Family Robinson, features a detailed recreation of the resourceful family’s island home. The refurbishment work likely focused on maintenance and touch-ups, with no show changes expected.

Fingers crossed for the resumption of water feature operation.

DL's Tarzan theme worked well, although that is also a 25-year-old movie at this point. And wince DL just switched back form Tarzan to SFR-themed, I doubt any change to WDW is forthcoming.

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.

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