Per my friend who is at Disneyland right now & was just on the island, Tom Sawyer's Island is open today! She posted a couple of video clips up on her Instagram, if anyone want to see:

We had an amazing interaction with Jack on the island this morning. Seriously, he spent about ten minutes with DD9. Nobody else was around.

Wow, I figured that the island would be busier than normal today since it was reopening after being closed for 18 months. Happy you got some good time in with Jack.

AWesome, thanks for sharing! Love the island since that was one of my favorites growing up, so have missed it since its been closed. Many childhood memories from there from our Jr High field trips to DL.

I was watching Fresh Baked last night, they said the fort would not be re-opened. Is that confirmed today?

I also wonder if you can catcha peak of SW Land from there???

The new treasure effects in the caves are really fun! And the pirate in the cell is really well done.

Does Jack always have a handler with him?

Does Jack always have a handler with him?

I've never seen ANY roaming character without a handler. Often a discreet distance away, but present, nevertheless. Jack had one today and when we met him in NOS Wednesday, as well.

Jack is back??? My son will be so happy. I'm so happy, and I don't like characters, but he is hella fun to watch.

Excellent, just in time for our trip next week!

No, the fort was closed a long time ago, and is used for Fantasmic! stuff. The treehouse is also closed now due to rot.

He has been back since the movie came back out. We had a good time with him over Memorial Day weekend. He is sort of like the Peter Pan character and doesn't stay in one place. This weekend, he had two teens girls chase him down and say they wanted a picture with him, he got them to get their cameras out, got them side by side, then turned and walked off in typical Jack style.
