Liberty Belle Takes To Rivers Of American For First Time Since Last Fall!
Isn’t she lovely!? Liberty Belle is once again back in service and MickeyBlog was at the Magic Kingdom today to check it out!
This classic Mississippi-style paddlewheel is back making the rounds off the shore of Liberty Square and Frontierland!
We got a little bit emotional for seeing the flag hoisted high and guests peering down from her decks!
If you’ve been following along with MickeyBlog you’ll know that both Liberty Belle and Tom Sawyer Island have been out of commission since October.
During this time routine maintenance was being carried out to the track that the Liberty Belle runs on as well as to some of the buildings on Tom Sawyer Island!
Last night, under the cover of darkness, the Liberty Belle was taken her docking spot along Seven Seas Lagoon to her home on the Rivers of America.
At that time divers were on hand to reconnect her to her track!
For those unfamiliar, you can board the Liberty Square Riverboat at the dock in Liberty Square (near Columbia Harbour House) for a 17 minute riverboat journey.
Along the way you’ll encounter some awesome sights including an early American settlement, Native American village, Harper’s Mill, Fort Langhorn, Wilson’s Cave Inn as well as the cutest little woodland animals!
Harper’s Mill was actually one of the areas that was recently refurbished and she is looking lovely with a clean lick of paint! Other views include Big Thunder Mountain, Splash Mountain and the Haunted Mansion!
Once aboard the Liberty Belle be sure to take some time to check out the detailed wood craftsmanship of this 47 foot tall steamboat! It is a working reproduction of the historic vessels that ferried people up and down the Mississippi! There are four decks from which you can enjoy a socially distanced view!
Readers are encouraged to keep following along with MickeyBlog where we’ll be coming to you LIVE! from the theme parks each and every week.
