Overview
- Walt Disney World and Walt Disney Imagineering filed an Environmental Resource Permit covering about 33.15 acres to add stormwater conveyance and a dry detention pond supporting the regrading of the former Rivers of America site.
- Aerial images show Fort Langhorn has been demolished, with clearing progressing across the Tom Sawyer Island footprint.
- On-island photos confirm Aunt Polly’s has been torn down to its foundation, with rubble visible and equipment moving debris through the drained riverbed to the old Liberty Belle dock.
- Disney by Mark reports the island’s water mill is no longer visible, indicating it has been removed as contractors continue demolition and earthmoving.
- The Liberty Belle riverboat is docked at a service marina for safekeeping and maintenance, and Disney has not announced an opening timeline for Piston Peak or the adjacent Villains land.
