We absolutely love Tom Sawyer Island. When my daughter was 3-10, it was a welcome break from the chaos of the rest of the park. Exploring caves, pretending to 'shoot' people on Big Thunder Mountain (pew-pew sound effects essential), and finding the paint brushes were a pretty regular morning ritual during those years. Sadly, the paintbrushes are now gone - and we can see why; there were families pushing people out of the way to get to them, even to the point of knocking kids over, the last time we tried to get them. But the rest is still there! For the past few years, our teenage daughter still enjoys the break from the high-speed action. We usually play a game of checkers on the rarely used 2nd dock and check in on the 'critters' in the mill, plus just getting to walk around at a calm pace with no strollers hitting ankles!
Swiss Family Robison Treehouse really depends on the time of year you visit. Mid-summer with crazy heat and huge crowds, it really isn't much of a good time - you don't get much chance to really stop and look at the rooms because even on the less 'thrilling' attractions, there is still a conveyor belt of people. If you are there with the big crowds, early in the morning and late in the evening it is nice and I have gotten quite a few sunrise pictures from the top! Definitely worth doing, but (for us) not in the same league as TSI.
