Swiss Family Treehouse

Frommer's Review

This attraction, based on the 1960 Disney movie version of Swiss Family Robinson, includes a few more comforts from home than did the original. After climbing its many, many steps, you'll finally reach the treehouse, its rooms filled with mahogany furnishings, decorative accents, and running water. If you're nervous about heights, this one's not for you -- visitors will find themselves walking along a rope-suspended bridge high above the ground, not to mention the climbing that's required to make it up and down all the stairs that lead around this 50-foot banyan tree. The "tree," designed by Disney Imagineers, has 330,000 polyethylene leaves sprouting from a 90-foot span of branches; although it isn't real, it's draped with actual Spanish moss. It's a good place for kids to work off some excess energy, though things can get crowded up there. Note: People with limited mobility beware -- this attraction requires a lot of climbing.
