Currently half of Tom Sawyer Island is closed for refurbishment but thats it.
I have not seen an end date. The island is still open but part of it is closed for refurbishment. They could be doing it in sections or its only that section getting refurbed.Do you have any more details on that? When it opens again? My kiddos love TSI so it’s definitely in our plans for May.
This and the speedway are huge wastes of real estate. They should cut it off at the bridge and fill in the back of the River of America. They can extend Frontierland with a bridge by BTMR. At least two attractions can fit there.
It's an iconic part of Disney, and far from a waste of space in many people's eyes.
And that is why I didn't suggest cutting the main island. They do not even use more than a 1/4 of the second island as it is. How many people cycle through the island per hour? Maybe 200 on a good day. How many would cycle the two attractions that would replace that area? 3000 at least plus any food service and concrete space. Look at the space that is available.

I did see it on a different website that usually has good info but could this be happening? Maybe the theater was cancelled for this.
For a lot of people and a lot of kids (especially those with disabilities) MK is sensory overload to the max.
TS island is a quiet, shady and calm place where guests can recharge and relax a bit. I, personally, hope it doesn't change one ounce. I love it.
