Swiss Family Treehouse closing for 10 week refurbishment in July 2016

[lnsemsf]

These dates come direct from Disney and are subject to change. This is one of many newly published refurbishments and I want to get the information out there for all planning their trips.

It's a long way out, but it's a long closure. Swiss Family Treehouse is scheduled to be closed from July 6-September 24th, 2016. Lets all hope for a big nice cleanup for a classic old attraction.

Wow that's a really long refurb.

I'm not religious, but I'm going to say a few prayers that what comes out of this is not Tarzan and/or Pirate themed. Stick with the classics please!

 

[Maerj]

They could build an entirely new tree house in that time!

 

[Horizons '83]

Tear down?

 

[Horizons1]

Most likely building Swiss Family Bungalows.

I guess we know where the next DVC is going.

Yeah, Tarzan has only been one of the most influential popular culture characters for over a century. How DARE anyone call him a "classic".

If you think about it Swiss Family can be pirate themed because they were shipwrecked due to pirates and then fought them off.

I get that it's an original attraction and that many dislike character overlays, but you need to find a way to make underutilized attractions relevant. I don't want to see them replace it, but breathing some new life into it would be nice if they can do it well. Just my opinion.

I wouldn't *hate* Tarzan moving in but I'd prefer it to stay Swiss Family themed.

I would love to see it re-themed to the classic Black Hole.

Demo it...

 

[Sped2424]

Now this is interesting. My guess is either a next gen upgrade to make the thing actually attract some guests or indeed a pirate take over.

 

[JenniferS]

Demo it...

Nooooooo! This is where I dream of running away to. My lazy kids would never dream of climbing all those stairs to find me.

 

[Horizons1]

I would love to see it re-themed to the classic Black Hole.

Give this man money.

I have to admit, I had never been on this thing until a couple of weeks ago.. And I've always thought that it made a great scenic piece for Adventureland just as it is from below. When I went on it this past July, however.. For the first time, by the way... It was exhausting, and there was no good "view points" like people say there are. There are so many stairs.. I felt so out of shape.

I'll respect this attraction as being a classic and I don't believe it should go anywhere.. It looks good as a giant prop for Adventureland. But if anyone ever asks me if it's worth going on since there's "never a wait," I would say HECK.. No...

In the name of all things named Disney....Please don't let this quaint attraction go away. Some of us have a heart felt connection with this attraction. I absolutely loved this movie as a kid.....it has a small foot print and doesn't cost a lot in CM staff. They can find money for Frozen this and that......refresh this attraction and let it be.....

For those who don't care for it....WDW is a big place and plenty to see. I know I am only one person.....but please leave this happy little place be.

Isn't this the enhanced queue for Jungle Cruise?

I just don't want to see a repeat of the atrocity that currently exists at DLR. And as far as the Disney incarnations of these stories goes, I'd consider Swiss Family Robinson FAR more classic than Tarzan.
