Swiss Family Treehouse Refurbishment Late December 2024
Posted: Monday December 23, 2024 10:21am ET by WDWMAGIC Staff

The Swiss Family Treehouse has officially reopened today at Magic Kingdom following a month-long refurbishment. Guests can once again climb through the iconic structure in Adventureland, but some areas remain closed for additional work.


While most of the attraction is now accessible, the uppermost living quarters overlooking Adventureland remain off-limits. Additionally, the water wheel is still covered by scrims as refurbishment work continues.



The reopening of the Swiss Family Treehouse was originally planned for December 20 but was delayed by three days.

Yeah, but... big crowds need something to do. I know that if I were in the MK on my $199 ticket and the Tree House wasn't open, I'd want -- nay, I'd DEMAND! -- my money back!!! /s

Does the treehouse of all things really make that much of a capacity difference? Just keep it down until it's all ready

That’s exactly what they would have done if tomorrow wasn’t Christmas Eve.

Rubbish. Wait until it is all ready to open it. Another example of "show" no longer mattering. :rolleyes:

I'm very tired and I must admit I misread your post as being December 2023 and I was like "Yeaaaah they're just a tad behind then"

They fell behind schedule. It should reopen 12/23 now.

I love that this is still the Swiss Family Treehouse, but fear the day is coming when it will be changed into the muck generic adventure tree. :rolleyes: so far TDO doesn't seem to have interest in that thankfully, but if B & J force it.........

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.
