I was asked if I know if this is true. I have not heard of this, but I do know to go to the DIS to get any info I need!
"Did you know this Disney World fun fact? Each morning on Magic Kingdoms Tom Sawyer Island, a 3.3-acre site which is a warren of wooded trails, caves, and circa-1840s buildings, staffers hide six paintbrushes, and the first to find them get front-of-the-line passes for Big Thunder Mountain Railroad or Splash Mountain!"
