To answer an earlier post, Tom Sawyer Island is not very accessible. The raft will not take ECV's, and no ramp is available for wheelchairs to board the Raft. On the day we visited, the water level of the River created a rise of about nine inches. On the Island, all the attractions have numerous stairs, turns, and narrow passages.
It seemed strange that a wheelchair ramp leads to the Raft, but worse that none of the attractions were made accessible, especially because changes had been made since we last visited the Island a few years ago. Perhaps one could visit Aunt Polly's Dockside for ice cream and a good view of the Paddlewheel Riverboat, but a child would be frustrated and dissappointed that they could not do anything else there.
