    Will there be any special activities on July 6th, the last day of Tom Sawyer island/Rivers of America? Hoping to be there.

    Hey There, Hi There, Ho There, Katy!

    Welcome to planDisney! We are DELIGHTED you stopped by and honored to help you plan your upcoming trip to Disney World! It looks like you will be visiting the "Most MAGICAL Place On Earth" in a few days—WOO HOO! I know you are ready for your adventure of a lifetime, so it's time to pull out your luggage, pack your Mickey ears, and start that countdown!

    You will be visiting Magic Kingdom on a very special day, as we celebrate the last scheduled day for Tom Sawyer Island and Liberty Square Riverboat to be open to Guests. What an unforgettable moment this is going to be! It will be the very last chance to explore the winding trails of Tom Sawyer Island and sail along the historic waters of Rivers of America before this area closes forever to make way for the new "Cars-themed" expansion, Piston Peak National Park.

    While Disney hasn’t officially announced any special farewell festivities, just being there on that final day is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. You’ll walk the island one last time, hear the paddlewheel of the Liberty Belle, and soak in the nostalgia before the curtain quietly falls after the fireworks. There may not be banners or fanfare just for this goodbye, but the MAGIC will absolutely be there, tucked into every creaky board and river breeze. Tom Sawyer Island holds a very special place in my heart because I still remember my adult kids playing and running around when they were children. Oh, I am very excited for you and your family to make one last memory!

    Since you will be at Disney during America's birthday, I want to make sure you do not miss Disney's Celebrate America - A Fourth of July Concert in the Sky fireworks spectacular at Magic Kingdom! I saw this two years ago, and it was absolutely EPIC! 

    If you have other questions, please do not hesitate to ask. We are here to help in any way we can!

    Have a MAGICAL day!
