News Disneyland to give Tarzan’s Treehouse a new theme

[Disney Analyst]

My guess is you've never experienced the original Swiss Family Treehouse....

I have to assume they are being contrarian or sarcastic.

Starting to realize that myself.

Music sounds like tacky and cheap carnival fare. Walt would not be happy.

He can let them know when they unfreeze him.

Wasn't the Swisspolka featured in Tarzan's Treehouse too?

It was coming out of the gramophone on the ground level.

I love that Disney has undercut the collective "First Look at Adventureland Treehouse" all the vloggers were prepping for. Now they'll have to retool their videos to "My Thoughts on the Adventureland Treehouse".

Direct quote from the Fresh Baked video Dave just posted (he's showing just a couple clips from Disney's video of the treehouse):

"Spoiler alert, if you don't want to see what this thing looks like yet, click away, because this is as good a look as you're gonna get until we show up on Nov 9th."

Pretentious much?

Yeah bud, I'm sure you'll be able to go inside the rooms to film like in Disney's video.....oh wait......you won't. Suck it up. Disney scooped you.

It's the Swisskapolka and it was/is THE iconic Swiss Family Treehouse background music (you can still hear it prominently in the parks that never ditched their Swiss Treehouses, and I had thought it was even playing for a bit of Tarzan's Treehouse as well as an homage).

I can definitely see it being an acquired taste for those who aren't familiar with it, but given that it screams Classic Disney Park Music, I'm thrilled that it's back and prominent.

I'm fashionably late to this party, as per usual, but...

I really like that ostrich! Fabulous and fun!

But from what I do remember I’d say it’s Swiss Family Robindaughter treehouse for the win.

This isn't the first time the Swiss Family has been re-magined to include a daughter. This 1958 NBC TV production reduced the offspring to three. Two brothers and a daughter named Nadia who was nowhere in the original source.

1958.

It also starred Walter Pidgeon, who was clearly in need of a paycheck.

You're absolutely correct. It did in fact played when it was Tarzans treehouse

A sight for sore eyes.

treehouse looks great! Maybe they could do something like this in AK in the new south american/indy/encanto expansion.... Id love to see more differently themed treehouse walkthroughs at the parks.

Walls are down at Adventureland Treehouse. We'll be touring later! Stay tuned for our complete report later today!​

No thanks! We already saw Disney's excellent video without anyone rambling over it. Have a good day!!

That just looks way, way better than Tarzan's Treehouse.

And feels nice and opened up without that annoying extra staircase / stump:

I’ll miss the rope bridge. It was charming. But yeah, overall an improvement for sure. Shame they couldn’t do more to change the ship hull but I suppose it fits the new story just fine so not really an issue.

 

[D.Silentu]

I will miss the Temple of Doom jokes, but the area is definitely improved!

i know i joked a lot about the name (and i still feel like it's a mouthful), but the final product is really something that disney should be proud of. i was surprised at the amount of pure movement compared to tarzan's fiberglass figures and i love that swisskapolka returns with a vengeance (with some new, fun arrangements!)

A+, i'm very very happy overall

love the daytime walkthrough vid from freshbaked, so many things to see in the treehouse great job disney
