    This is my favorite chill out spot in Disneyland! My whole family has sensory sensitivities, so it's so nice to get away from the sounds and crowds, find a quiet spot to relax while the kids play, and recharge.

  • @MannyEmm
    @MannyEmm Před 2 lety +5

    I love how you could still be a kid while you are on the island, regardless of how old you are. Chris, you made it so much fun…ty.

    This is hands down one of my favourite places in Disneyland. I loved it when I was 5 (1979 - geez I’m old) and today for the simple beauty and oasis that it is. For me it truly is a world away from it all.

  • @pyang1151

    495. One of my favorite stories from the early days, was that you could rent a pole and fish and keep your catch. The problem was that people grew weary of carrying their fish around and disposed of them in flowerbeds and other places that created issues for the people who clean the kingdom.

  • @Ericland_Entertainment_Inc

    I love Tom Sawyer Island! It's one of the best places in the park to break away from the crowds whenever it's too crowded and you feel like getting away from it all. To be honest, I'm really happy that Walt put Tom Sawyer Island in the park, it's a great way to be one with nature.
    Now, about that tie. I recently got my first job and I was told the dress casual. And I absolutely love that tie, I know that's one that I would wear!

      @julumarie Před 2 lety +1

      You gotta have a bunch of energy to expend just to feel like it’s fun. I mean coming from a 30+ year old you gotta be like high on life to enjoy this island. It is really cute seeing kids run around and enjoy it though. :)

    Former Cast Member here. I used to drive the Rafts to TOM SAWYER'S ISLAND, and it will ALWAYS be Tom Sawyer's Island for me. 💖 And there used to be a snack bar inside Fort Wilderness, where as a kid I'd get a dill pickle and beef jerky! OmNom!

    Everytime i go with my family, we always say we’re gonna ride the canoes or go to the island but we never end up doing it because we get distracted by other things. I definitely need to take a trip just to do different things other than the popular rides.

  • @SeanLamb-I-Am
    @SeanLamb-I-Am Před 2 lety +7

    I remember exploring those caves back in the 70s when I was Miles's age. I only wish I could have explored it more often, but I will definitely go back for another look next time I'm there.

  • @marypratt4336

    My brother loved Tom Sawyer Island when we were young. I always thought it was too hot, so I would not explore as much. It is a nice place though.

    Quick correction - Will Turner didn't own the blacksmith shop, he was the apprentice. That being said, it is heavily implied that the blacksmith doesn't actually do any of the work, Will does. The name of the shop on the island is a nod to the franchise, which is why it bears the Turner name. The tie looks real cool. Can I haz? Nice vid, BTW!

Also I really appreciate you mentioning and thinking about which parts of the island are wheelchair accessible. I think often many don’t think about that sort of thing until it is actually something they, or someone they care about, have to take into consideration. Thank you for all you do!
