Walt Disney Imagineer Kim Irvine revealed new details about the Adventureland Treehouse backstory during a presentation to an Adventures by Disney tour group, according to Laughing Place.
“We’re getting ready to celebrate our 70th year of Disneyland and we decided to bring back the old treehouse,” Irvine said in a video posted by Laughing Place. “It’s now the Adventureland Treehouse inspired by Walt Disney’s ‘Swiss Family Robinson.’”
