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.

I personally think this is one of the best "overlooked" attractions in MK. Yes, it requires a little bit of exercise, but the details are so cool...if you let your imagination go, you can really see yourself living in this "house." Plus, it has one of my favorite Hidden Mickeys on the tree.

Pros:

Great attention to detail Nice spot to take your time Usually not crowded

Cons:

The walk up and down might be too much for some people

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!

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

This is another Disney World classic. It’s not a ride, but it’s a must-see attraction- have to do it at least once. It really fuels kid’s imaginations, dreaming of living in a treehouse. Fascinating to see how this family could live up there!

Pros:

Fascinating idea of living in a tree house. Great for kids. Sweet music.

Cons:

Lots of stairs!

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

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.

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.
