The Case of the Islands: Pirate v Tom Sawyer

Tom Sawyer Island is a sleeper hit at the domestic Disney parks. While it isn't the first attraction we all run to, when we get there, we are reminded of its peaceful charm. Also, it has a pretty storied past including Walt Disney Himself! Does it make sense that the pirate invasion is all told as a part of Tom's imagination, or is it simply shoehorned in to promote Disney movies? Does it make more sense to have Tom Sawyer Island landing in New Orleans Square or Frontierland? What do Jake and the neverland Pirates or the band Rush have anything to do with these magical respites? Tune in to learn and grow and find all of these answers. We get a little more loose on this one while keeping all the mundane factual minutia. Everybody wins! Enjoy! Photo Courtesy of Disnerland Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
