You cannot stay at this attraction in Florida, but you can see how Tarzan might have lived as King of the Jungle. If you want a more hands on experience, there are three locations around the world that offer above ground living in wooden tree houses.

18 APRIL 2022 - TARZAN'S TREEHOUSE TO BE RE-IMAGINED AT DISNEYLAND PARK IN FLORIDA

Tarzan’s Treehouse in the Disneyland Park will be reimagined when the attraction opens to guests once again, as confirmed by Disneyland officials today.

This is the first news since the walk-through attraction closed in September, with no reason given when construction walls and tarps started going up.

The current rumors surrounding the remaining all focus on the smash success Encanto, which was released late last year to rave reviews.

Ever since then, fans have swirled rumors of the characters making their way into the Disney Parks, and taking over attractions such as the treehouse.

With Disneyland adding Encanto into multiple places at the park, including adding a new float to the beloved Main Street Electrical Parade as well as a meet-and-greet for Mirabel, it’s easy to see.

Fans expect Tarzan’s Treehouse to be reimagined into Antonio’s treehouse room that he receives once he opens his door to reveal his gift.

The Treehouse has been a staple of the Adventureland skyline since its opening in 1962, standing close to the world-famous Jungle Cruise.

Upon opening, the treehouse was themed after the Swiss Family Robinson, as seen in the Magic Kingdom, until 1999 when Tarzan swung in and took over.

The only other treehouse to take on the Tarzan theming stands in Hong Kong Disneyland, with no news on if their walkthrough attraction will remain based upon the 1999 film.

Changing the theming to Disneyland Paris’ and Magic Kingdom’s versions would definitely bring some new life to the attraction, which mostly gets passed over by visitors.

Tarzan's Treehouse is a treetop walk-through attraction at Hong Kong Disneyland and formerly at Disneyland in California. It was styled after Disney's 1999 film Tarzan.

In February 1999, Disneyland closed its version of the Swiss Family Treehouse, and Imagineers re-themed the attraction to coincide with the soon-to-be released Tarzan film. The giant artificial tree received a comprehensive makeover, including 6,000 replacement vinyl leaves, a suspension bridge from a new entrance via a new neighboring tree, and a variety of hands-on interactive features. The tree was 80 feet tall, weighed 150 tons, and contained a total of 300,000 vinyl leaves.

On June 23, 1999, Tarzan's Treehouse opened to park guests, just as Disney's animated Tarzan premiered in movie theaters. Tributes to the Swiss Family Treehouse were featured in the attraction including the "Mind Thy Head" sign and the "Swisskapolka", which could be heard playing on a vintage gramophone.

In November 2019, a wooden plank of the bridge into Tarzan's Treehouse snapped prompting the attraction to close for a short period for repairs.

On September 3, 2021, the attraction closed for refurbishment, and demolition of the bridge and entrance tree began in April 2022. The original tree is planned to re-open with a new name and theme.

HONG KONG DISNEYLAND

When Hong Kong Disneyland opened on September 12, 2005, it included Tarzan's Treehouse built on Tarzan's Island. Rafts near Festival of the Lion King are used to ferry passengers to and from the island, which is encircled by the Rivers of Adventure. This is a similar arrangement to Disneyland's Tom Sawyer Island.

Hong Kong Disneyland (香港迪士尼樂園) is known locally as HKDL, or HK Disneyland. The theme park is located on reclaimed land in Penny's Bay, Lantau Island. It is located inside the Hong Kong Disneyland Resort and it is owned and managed by Hong Kong International Theme Parks. It is the largest theme park in Hong Kong, followed by Ocean Park Hong Kong. Hong Kong Disneyland was opened to visitors on Monday, 12 September 2005 at 13:00 HKT. Disney attempted to avoid problems of cultural backlash by incorporating Chinese culture, customs and traditions when designing and building the resort, including adherence to the rules of feng shui. Notably, a bend was put in a walkway near the Hong Kong Disneyland Resort entrance so good qi energy would not flow into the South China Sea.

The park consists of seven themed areas: Main Street, U.S.A., Fantasyland, Adventureland, Tomorrowland, Grizzly Gulch, Mystic Point, and Toy Story Land. The theme park's cast members speak Cantonese, English and Mandarin. Guide maps are printed in traditional and simplified Chinese as well as English.

The park has a daily capacity of 34,000 visitors — the lowest of all Disneyland parks. The park attracted 5.2 million visitors in its first year, below its target of 5.6 million. Visitor numbers fell 20% in the second year to 4 million, inciting criticisms from local legislators. However, the park attendance jumped by 8% in the third year, attracting a total of 4.5 million visitors in 2007. In 2009, the park attendance again increased by 2% to 4.8 million visitors. The attendance continued to surge and received 5.23 million guests in the 2009/2010 fiscal year. Since the opening of Hong Kong Disneyland, the theme park has hosted over 25 million guests. According to AECOM and TEA, Hong Kong Disneyland is the 13th most visited theme park in the world in 2013, with 7.4 million visitors.

Majority-owned (53%) by the Hong Kong Government but managed by Disney, the park first turned an annual net profit of HK$109 million (US$13.97 million) for the year ended 29 September 2012. However, it has operated at an increasing loss in 2015, 2016 and 2017. Hong Kong Disneyland currently occupies 27.5 hectares (68 acres) and hosts 6 million to 7 million visitors annually. The park capacity will increase to handle up to 10 million visitors annually over a 15-year expansion period.

DISNEYLAND - Tarzan's Treehouse is (or was) a walk through attraction at Disneyland and Hong Kong Disneyland. It is styled after the treehouse in the 1999 film Tarzan.

In contrast to how the Swiss Family Treehouse was designed as a tour through an empty house, the Tarzan Treehouses use diorama figures to loosely retell the story of the film, which is "narrated" through a series of Jane's journals.

Disneyland Orlando Florida version - In February 1999, Disneyland closed its version of the Swiss Family Treehouse, and Imagineers re-themed the attraction to coincide with the soon to be released Tarzan film. The giant artificial tree received a comprehensive makeover, including 6,000 replacement vinyl leaves, a suspension bridge entrance from a new neighboring tree, and a variety of hands-on interactive features. The tree is currently 70 feet tall and weighs 150 pounds. On June 23, 1999, Tarzan’s Treehouse began welcoming park guests, just as Disney’s animated Tarzan premiered in movie theaters. Tributes to the Swiss Family Treehouse are featured in the attraction including the "Mind Thy Head" sign and the "Swisskapolka", which can be heard playing on a vintage gramophone.

On September 3, 2021, the attraction closed for an unexpected refurbishment. It was later announced in April 2022 that the Tarzan theme would be removed and rethemed to Disney's animated film, Encanto.

Hong Kong Disneyland version - When Hong Kong Disneyland opened on September 12, 2005, it included Tarzan’s Treehouse built on Tarzan’s Island. Rafts are used to ferry passengers to and from the island, which is encircled by the Rivers of Adventure. This is a similar arrangement to Disneyland's Tom Sawyer Island.


At Home in the Jungle - Tour the legendary vine-swinger’s jungle home - built in an 80-foot-tall tree - and experience life on the wild side.

Your adventure begins as you clamber up a tree stump and cross a rope bridge high in the sky. Overgrown with vines and constructed out of parts salvaged from his tragic shipwreck, the tree house features ingenious inventions and vignettes from Tarzan’s epic life story.

Peruse drawings from Jane’s sketchbook that tell the tale of the young English lord who was marooned in the jungle, orphaned and raised by a tribe of gorillas. The tree’s scientific name is Disneydendron semperflorens grandis or “large ever-blooming Disney tree” and some incredible views await you at the top. Explore the high life at this airy abode from a bygone time!

WALT DISNEY'S 1999 ANIMATED FILM TARZAN

Tarzan is a 1999 American animated adventure film produced by Walt Disney Feature Animation for Walt Disney Pictures. The 37th Disney animated feature film, the tenth and last released during the Disney Renaissance era, it is based on the 1912 story Tarzan of the Apes by Edgar Rice Burroughs, being the first animated major motion picture version of the story.

SAY HELLO TO ANTHONY

On the balcony of Tarzan's Sussex Lodge, is a giant model of an Australian Bulldog Ant, made by a local artist at 300 times full size, from sycamore and other woods cut on site and recycled materials. Shades of Marvel's Ant Man, or Jules Verne's Mysterious Island. Make a small one yourself, to take home, if you feel creative. This sculpture is over 10 feet long, including the antennae. We'd suggest making something a little smaller. Say 5-10 inches (125-250mm).

Anthony the giant Bulldog ant, lives in Herstmonceux, Sussex, at Tarzan's Lodge. He is friendly, except towards unscrupulous developers, who want to spoil our heritage for financial gain. Anthony is a conservationist who opposes the build of housing that is unsustainable cost wise, or causes climate change. All contributions from use of Tarzan's lodge, goes to the upkeep of the historic generating station just outside the Herstmonceux village envelope.

SUSSEX ENGLAND - TARZAN'S LODGE

In Sussex, England, the Tarzan experience is located just 400 yards south of the village of Herstmonceux, adjacent to the earliest surviving wooden Generating Station C. 1890 in the world. In this location you can actually live like Tarzan, on a getaway weekend and find your way back to nature up in the trees, while you explore the Sussex wilds. Within easy walking distance of Herstmonceux, Windmill Hill and Herstmonceux Castle. Great for children, young and old.

SUSTAINABLE BUILDINGS - The use of wood for construction is a sustainable practice, provided that the timber being used comes from a responsibly managed source. The old Generating Station in Lime Park, at Herstmonceux, is mostly built of wood. Wood is a natural carbon sink - meaning we should plant more trees - and build more houses of timber. The use of photovoltaic panels and large (solar) conservatory areas to trap heat, reduces the need to waste electricity or use fossil fuels. Light from our sun pours down on planet earth at the rate of one kilowatt per square meter. Mostly, this free natural resource is wasted, because conventional houses use gas or oil for central heating.

Tarzan's Lodge in Sussex is not yet available.
