Swiss Family Treehouse

Pros: Little to no wait, great attention to detail
Cons: Stairs may prevent some from checking out this unique attraction

One of my favorite movies growing up was the Swiss Family Robinson. As a Disney movie, the story is family friendly, but full of exciting adventure. A shipwrecked family on an uninhabited island, the family Robinson built an amazing tree house ...

Pros: Shows a lot of ingenuity; Lines are very rare.
Cons: Stairs; Not for those seeking cheap thrills.

The treehouses we as children spent entire Saturday afternoons engineering all but paled in comparison to Walt Disney’s own. It was thus likely no surprise the wonder with which a child might explore the Swiss Family Treehouse – it’s everything we’d been...

Pros: details, no lines
Cons: steps!

I recently completed a trip to Walt Disney World in Orlando Florida. I stayed off-site with a friend (at no cost). I visited all the (non-water) parks but took no children with me. All of my Disney World reviews will be written from this perspective....

Pros: Imaginative, detailed
Cons: Stairs, stairs, and more stairs

Now this is my idea of a dream home. Even though it gives my knees a mighty work out climbing the stairs, I always get in line for the Tree House when I visit the Magic Kingdom. I love the airiness, for one thing. The only thing that could appeal...

Pros: Amazing detail, easy and fun to get through, especially intriguing at nighttime
Cons: You can't spend the night in one of the bedrooms

Walt Disney World's Swiss Family Treehouse is the most detailed replica of a setting from a live-action film in any theme park. It is amazing to think of the painstaking attention to accuracy to which the designers had to dedicated themselves....

Pros: realistic based from movie, good views

Considering this is based on an older movie, it was interesting seeing the reaction from the different people walking through this as the same time we were.

From what I observed, it appeared that more adults enjoyed this than children. Part...

Pros: short wait for a quality attraction
Cons: not handicapped accessible

When I was a kid, we had a large mimosa tree in our front yard and I had all kind of gadgets and "secret" place from which to view the sorrounding neighborhood. Maybe this is why I like the Swiss family Robinson Tree House so much. Actually,...

Pros: Kind of cute
Cons: Old attraction

I was really impressed with this attraction the first time I saw it. It was back in l975 with my parents and sister. I went back two times after that (with a friend and then with my husband). I took my family (three grade school children) in the...

Pros: NO lines EVER
Cons: Not something the kids will enjoy

This is one of those novelty rides at Disney, its fun to see one time and thats it. There are never any lines because its a walk through a treehouse. You take a trip through this tree house that was supposedly built by the Swiss Family. It takes a good 15 minutes to walk through and up the stairs and down the stairs, especially if you are stuck behind someone who is moving rather slowly as we were.

This is not a ride for kids, they will most likely become very board with this experience. There is not a whole lot for them to see that will catch their eye. No characters no cool colors. I'm not even sure why Disney has kept this one open so many years.
