Something has DISAPPEARED from Magic Kingdom, and it impacts a classic attraction in this park.
Tom Sawyer Island
Tom Sawyer Island is a walk-through attraction in Frontierland. You take a log raft to the island, where you can meander through trails, cross bridges, and explore caves. It’s a great place to bring little ones who need to burn off some energy — no long lines to wait in here! But there’s one problem: recently, part of this attraction went MISSING.
While we were in Frontierland today, exploring Tom Sawyer Island, we saw that the Barrel Bridge is now CLOSED.

In fact, it’s not just closed. It’s completely gone.

For reference, here’s what the bridge usually looks like.

We saw this happen back in 2021 as well! When we asked a Cast Member about the missing bridge, they told us that it had been removed for maintenance and they weren’t sure when it’d be back.

We’ll be watching closely to find out when it returns! In the meantime, you can still explore other parts of the island.

We were there the week of 6/12 and it was missing then too. I asked a CM if it got washed way (haha) or if it’s just being refurbished. She said refurbished, but didn’t give me a timetable.
