TOM SAWYER ISLAND and FORT LANGHORN

Walt Disney himself designed this out-of-the-way retreat. To reach the island you need to board a raft from the Frontierland dock. A short journey later and your free to explore! There are dirt trails and secret tunnels, even fun spots like Harper's Mill and you can poke around Injun Joe's Caves. Based on Mark Twain's famous novel, this island has everything a rugged kid could want, including old-fashioned creaky bridges and Fort Langhorn, which offers close to a dozen air guns! While the kids are roaming, adults can sip an ice tea and relax in rocking chairs at Aunt Polly's Dockside Inn.
