Tom Sawyer Island
Lots of questions from me today
Planning needs to be done 
I have never been to Tom Sawyer Island
What is there and would it be any good for me with mobility problems 
If ever there is a tomorrow when we're not together.......
there is something you must always remember.
You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.
But the most important thing is, even if we're apart...... I'll always be with you.

no matter how close or far apart you may be.
A friend is someone who is always there and will always, always care.
A friend is a feeling of forever in the heart.

Re: Tom Sawyer Island
Wendy, it would be difficult IMO with mobility issues. Not knowing what your issues are the paths are up and down (the paths are paved but are old), caves to go through (if you choose) and a couple of bridges to cross (again, if you choose).
WDW = 39 visits since 1979DCL = 3 cruises since 2002
Been there, done that, going back

Re: Tom Sawyer Island
There is a rolling barrel bridge. It's challenging for anyone, never mind mobility issues. I am pretty sure you can avoid it though. The island is cute enough, but nothing too terrible to miss. Not a whole lot to do, just poke around in and out of some caves, and on some paths... really could use some updating, to be honest.

Re: Tom Sawyer Island
Wendy, it's a nice place to visit. We usually go over first thing or just before it closes, if you go when it's nearly empty you can just stroll around slowly. You probably won't manage in the caves but should be okay elsewhere. Oh, and maybe avoid the tilting rock.

Re: Tom Sawyer Island
I never even realised you could go over there until you mentioned when we were on the riverboat - and that was the first time we'd ever been on there

I'll have to see if I can think of other things you might have missed....
