Walt Disney, Hayley Mills & The Swiss Family Robinson Treehouse
I was delighted to see d23.com feature a wonderful picture of Walt Disney and the Mills family touring Disneyland’s Swiss Family Robinson Treehouse (now Tarzan’s Treehouse).
Disneyland’s Swiss Family Robinson Treehouse
Given where things are at the parks these days (soon to close due to Covid-19), I think it’s okay to indulge in some nostalgia.

In October 1962, not long before the opening of the Swiss Family Treehouse in Disneyland Park on November 18, Walt Disney gave the famous Mills family a personal tour. Seen here with Walt are Disney Legend—and one of Disney’s biggest stars—Hayley Mills, along with her parents Mary and John, just two years after John had starred as the father in Swiss Family Robinson (1960).

Narrator Hayley Mills
Interestingly enough, I was thrilled to find this video, narrated by Disney Legend Hayley Mills. She describes her family visiting the Disneyland replica back in 1960.
“And Walt, you see, is enjoying it as well as anybody,” she said as narrator. “He adored being in Disneyland. He was just the biggest child of anybody.
“Look at him,” continued Ms. Mills. “He didn’t hold himself aloof in the studio, or anywhere. People were, you know, they were in awe of him.”
