Guests awaiting the return of the Swiss Family Treehouse at Magic Kingdom will need to wait a little longer. Disney has updated the refurbishment calendar, pushing the reopening date back from December 20 to December 23, 2024.

The walkthrough attraction, closed since November 18 for scheduled maintenance, has been undergoing touch-ups and routine upkeep over the past month. While Disney has not provided specific reasons for the delay, it’s not uncommon for refurbishments to extend slightly as crews finalize the work.

The Swiss Family Treehouse, a classic Adventureland experience inspired by Swiss Family Robinson, features an intricate treehouse built from salvaged ship parts and offers scenic views of Magic Kingdom

Site that shall not be named is reporting that scrims are down and both the water wheel and buckets are working again.

What’s going on here? Much of the tree is still covered in scaffolding months later. It looks awful.

Scaffolding still up today: https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54287439480_c5b29ff45a_k.jpghttps://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54287013121_70f8b1b7ba_k.jpg

Any updates on this? By now the scaffolding should be down, right? @Drew the Disney Dude or @wdwmagic can you check it out on your next visit?

With holiday crowds every little bit helps.

larryzDec 23, 2024

Yeah, but... big crowds need something to do. I know that if I were in the MK on my $199 ticket and the Tree House wasn't open, I'd want -- nay, I'd DEMAND! -- my money back!!! /s

Does the treehouse of all things really make that much of a capacity difference? Just keep it down until it's all ready

peter11435Dec 23, 2024

That’s exactly what they would have done if tomorrow wasn’t Christmas Eve.

was just going to say the same thing, pretty bad

AylaDec 23, 2024

Rubbish. Wait until it is all ready to open it. Another example of "show" no longer mattering. :rolleyes:

I'm very tired and I must admit I misread your post as being December 2023 and I was like "Yeaaaah they're just a tad behind then"

ToTBellHopDec 20, 2024

They fell behind schedule. It should reopen 12/23 now.
