“The era we are living in today is a dream of coming true.”
When I went to Florida with my family in 1994, I really wanted to go to Tom Sawyer Island. I had just read the books and I wanted to go to the Island. My parents promised that we could go after we saw the Diamond Horseshoe Jamboree. Unfortunately, the Island closed at dusk and the Jamboree show finished well after that.
I’ve always lamented this fact, because I can distinctively remember the entire exchange and I’m pretty sure I got very upset at the time too.
It’s always been a goal of mine to return to Disneyworld and make it to Tom Sawyer Island. Unfortunately, I might never be able to.
Flipping through the Re-Imagineering weblog, it appears there are plans to get rid of the Island in favour of Jack Sparrow’s Pirate Playground.
I can’t say I’m pleased by these developments.
