Odd they would do this now and not wait till after the holidays, the park needs all it can get.

Seem like this may be a somewhat urgent matter.

"The popular walkthrough attraction will remain closed for just over a month, with a reopening date currently set for December 20, 2024."
Popular? lol

I won't say I walk through it every trip to the MK, but I love that it is there ... I love it later iin the evening when it is especially quiet and you can walk through the whole structure without interruption... It is so charming.

I was endlessly fascinated with this as a kid. All of the ways they repurposed items. I'd make my mom go through it with me multiple times a trip. And love the view at the top. I'm sorry to say it's been a while since I've walked through. Does seem odd timing for closure. Wonder what the issue is.

I loved this attraction from my first visit in 1975. Even with the Swan Boats going by it, I felt called to hang out in that tree!

Have the water buckets been fixed yet? Maybe they can work on that while it’s down

I wonder what the chances are we get the Adventureland update DL's treehouse got in the future. Obviously 1 month is too short but you never know, they could do it next refurb.

I really hope that they never try to retheme this with newer IP. But if enough parents complain that little Billy and Jenny don't know who the Robinson family is, then we all know what will happen.

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.

Fingers crossed for the resumption of water feature operation.

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. so far TDO doesn't seem to have interest in that thankfully, but if B & J force it.........

Its purpose is similar to rivers of america... Don't touch, Disney.

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"
