Buried20KLeague said:How sure are we about some of this stuff, though? I'm thinking a lot of the things you hear about the island are urban legends. Like for example, the key thing, or this paint brush thing... I've also heard that there's an underground tunnel that goes somewhere from the island to the mainland (presumeably to get people off the island if something were wrong with the water or boats).

CommandoDisney said:yes, its true, i have never been to TSI. after 20 years and 8+ trips, i have never been out there. my parents never took when when i was little, because they didnt like the idea of having to wait in line to take a raft to a playground when to get back ull have to wait again. i almost forget about it when im there! ive never been on the big riverboat either. ive done everything else in the MK, though. should i bother? is there anything that you guys have never seemed to do?
RnRJoe6114 said:We're sure(atleast I am) that the paintbrush thing is true, I've found one before, I brought it to a CM and got a fastpass for Splash Mountain. And the tunnel thing is also true(I'm not sure but it might be part of the utilidors), but when my mom was 10 or 11(MK just opened) she hit her head in the fort and got a cut so they took her underground and left her in a room for alittle while but all she wanted to do is get back to her parents and somehow found a way out.
Buried20KLeague said:What I like about the island are the unique views and perspectives you get of the park... Think about it, how many times have you walked through frontierland and looked across to the island... Probably TONS... But how many times have you stood on the island and looked across to frontierland?
You can do the same thing over by the Haunted Mansion, too... Get a great view of it from right across the river... Same with BTMRR.

And there is but it only does drinks now. From what I gather, back in the day, they offered great sandwiches, but not anymore. It's rarely open as a drink stand. You can see the building when you're near HM - it's the one with the patio across the river. Oh and it's called Aunt Polly's.

Buried20KLeague said:Is there somewhere on the island that talks about these paint brushes? And are they re-hidden during the day by cast members once they're found and returned? I'd love to tell my little girls about this on our next trip and have them look for them, but I could just see the CM looking at them with a weird look and saying "Uh. What should I do with that?"... Or I could see them looking for something that's not even out there because it had already been found for the day and not re-hidden...
