Tom Sawyer Island is closing forever, and we are feeling all the feelings. In this episode, we take you back to the origin story of this legendary island, including how Walt Disney rejected every plan until he designed it himself at his kitchen table. We’ll walk through the caves, cross the barrel bridges, and remember the paintbrush scavenger hunt that once earned you a free FastPass. Then we look ahead to what’s replacing it — Piston Peak National Park, inspired by Planes: Fire & Rescue. Whether you’re team nostalgia or ready for something new, this episode is your last raft ride to a true Disney classic.
