[edit] Raft Ride to the Island
The only way to get to the island is via a raft which carries 55 people on average. There are four rafts in service named Huck Finn, Becky Thatcher, Injun Joe and Tom Sawyer. These rafts, unlike most water attractions at the Magic Kingdom, do not run on rails or any type of tracks.
[edit] Areas to Explore
The island has many places to explore and paths that go all around the island. There are dark passageways, caves, an old mine, a rope bridge, a barrel bridge, and Fort Langhorn. Injun Joe's cave, the windmill, Crooked Little Bridge, Old Scratch's Mystery Mine, and the Scavenger's Fort are other things to check out while on the island.
[edit] Secrets
There are many things to do on the island but keep your eyes open for large whitewash brushes around the island. If you find one, give it to a cast member for a FastPass to an attraction.
