I love this attraction and was thrilled to see it as I hadn't seen the Swiss Family Tree in DL since I was a child. Unfortunately with age has also come arthritis in my knee which made this attraction quite difficult with all the stairs. We did it right at the beginning of the day before it got too bad, but it was still quite painful by the end. It was cool to experience once, but don't think I would do it again.

Pros:

stair master workout for the day!

Cons:

not great for people with mobility issues

This one is a fun walk through for families. However, if you're not nostalgic about the movie you won't enjoy it quite as much, but I think there are a lot of cool things to see anyway. I'm glad that they've kept this one original instead of updating to Tarzan like Disneyland did.

Pros:

no lines, interesting experience, family friendly

Cons:

IP is a bit dated so not everyone will get it.

I hope it's not because I am in my late 40s, ugh, but when I was growing up The Swiss Family Robinson was one of my favorite films. It still is, of course. So when I went to WDW the first time and I was able to walk through (climb on) a REAL actual 3-D recreation of the Treehouse from that film, I was more than a little thrilled. I loved it. Even today, as an adult, I get the same frisson of fun that I always got. It's one of the better attractions and it's all down to the details. They are all there. I could spend 15 minutes looking at the kitchen alone! You don't have to know the film to enjoy the Treehouse, but perhaps it might help a bit. So, as a (Swiss) family, why don't you sit down together around a screen that allows you to watch Disney+ and take in the original film? It will pay off in spades!

Pros:

Fully-detailed 3-D recreation of the treehouse/film set. It's exciting. You climb up pretty high. (Without a sense of being up high though.) The views of the park from up there are terrific too.

Cons:

Some people seem to be confused why it is there at all. Do yourself and your family a favor and see the film first.

This isn't a typical attraction. You will either like it and appreciate it for what it is or you will hate it and think it's a waste of time/space. I happen to like this attraction. It is a nice little escape from the park and a cool place for kiddos to explore and see replicas of items they may not have seen before. Its a nice little respite if you need it during a busy day.

Pros:

Quite usually fairly empty, cool stuff to look at, kinda feels exploratory

Cons:

not really anything to explain what stuff is can be boring to some.

I know some people don’t like it because it has been around a long time and it’s from an old movie from the early sixties!! But I actually love this old treehouse it holds fond childhood memories for me!!! I hope they keep it forever!! Sure it may need to be updated!! That would be nice but I hope they keep this wonderful old Treehouse!!!

Pros:

It is great for a relaxing climb, and to enjoy all the wonderful scenery!! It is a very sentimental place and makes you feel like a kid again!!

Cons:

I guess it is a little outdated, but that’s part of its charm!! Maybe someday they will get around to updating it but I hope they never get rid of it

Now I know a lot of people say this is boring, but I find it sweet and a great break from all the rides and the heat. I love the old movie, and this is like being there. It is much better than the updated Tarzan tree house in Disneyland. If you don't want to climb stairs, then avoid it.

Pros:

Different from your typical attractions. Cool to look at.

Cons:

Stairs

This is always on our ‘must do’ list, mostly for nostalgia, but also you get some great views from the top! There’s not usually a wait, so it’s a nice break from the crowds and you can check out all of the cool details in the tree. It feels immersive and puts you into the jungle itself, so you can feel like you’ve really escaped into adventureland.

Pros:

short wait, great views

Cons:

don’t expect a thrill ride, use your imagination!

Such a classic Disney attraction! Love this for the nostalgia and the unique views of the park. I would recommend watching the movie (it's on Disney+) before going and walking the tree because you notice so many more details. This also has one of my favorite hidden Mickey's on property made from moss on the bark of the tree itself.

Pros:

Extremely nostalgic & unique views

Cons:

Not great for littles, elderly, or those that have trouble with stairs.

Never a wait for this walkthrough/climb-through. Love doing this attraction at night. Some of the best views of Magic Kingdom and Adventureland. Great taking your time attraction because there never is usually any one on it. Disneyland's counter part is great for the same reasons.

Pros:

Views at night, atmosphere, at your own pace

Cons:

lots of stairs but worth it
