Tom Sawyers Island

camptraveler · 05-10-2003

Does anyone know if you can still collect the paint brushes on the island and turn them in for a prize? If so are they hard to find and do you need to find a certain number of them?

tom sawyers Island is one of my favorite places to go and relaxe but I had never heard of this.

Yes, they still do it, though they do not do it all the time, and it is basically impossible to find out when they which day or at what time of the day. I guess you could ask one of the CMs who run the rafts, they will most likely know.

wow I never heard of that that seeems like alot of fun to do something like that is it only for children or can adults ( big kids )like me do that to get a prize :D :) :laugh

**mickey** · 05-10-2003

Well, anyone can participate, though the prizes aren't that great (Fastpasses or something similar).

still even if the prizes are not that great it sounds like fun .. I have added this to my "notes from DC" which is why I love coming here .. I can gather up all these ideas for our trip to WDW :)

I haven't done Tom Sayer Island yet with my DS's. Plan on doing it this year! Hope they do thia on the day we are there, they would love it!:)

Don't go if you're claustrophobic! Well, don't go into the caves, that is! It was very hot out when we tried it, and REALLY, we felt like we were going to die. It's so dark you really can't see where you are and the floor gets slanted at times. My dad wanted to explore the caves when we went, and luckily I'd already tried it so I was able to say well... And he very promptly said no thanks. :)

I vaguely remember going on Tom Sawyer's Island years ago. If you go on the island do you have to go through the caves or can you just walk around?

no you dont have to go through the caves. there is a lot of other things to do there .. we like tettering (spelling?) rock and the fort

Even though this area is not "thrilling" as some rides are my kids love to run around the island! We never miss doing this. It just lets kids be kids.

I agree and its a really nice place to let little ones burn off some extra energy sometimes ..and our girls still love to feed the ducks from Aunt Polly's thats another thing ..you can spot lots of ducks and rabbits on the island ..there are some nice shady spots. its a great place to take a break. right where the raft docks ..the rockers are great ..if you can get one .. we seldom have trouble getting one :)
