RJT Travels learned this morning that the Liberty Belle at Magic Kingdom is officially back up and running for guests

We received communication from Disney this morning announcing that overnight the Liberty Belle Boat was driven through the water around Magic Kingdom and rocked at the Rivers of American, and this morning was officially reopened for guests.

“This is very exciting, not only because it is bringing back a classic attraction to Magic Kingdom, but it is also a sign that Disney is returning to the normal and continuing to strive to return to the original magic of Disney World“

For nearly 50 years, Guests visiting Magic Kingdom Park have embarked on a relaxing half-mile journey around the picturesque waters of the Rivers of America, sailing aboard an iconic grand streamer riverboat with stunning views of both Frontierland and Liberty Square. But after many years of helping Guests make memories, the Liberty Belle riverboat recently took her own very unique journey, sailing through open water.

In the Liberty Belle’s absence, more than 100 cast members contributed their specialized crafts and skill during the four-month scheduled refurbishment. Anchored by the planned track replacement for the vessel, Cast Members took advantage of the Rivers of America being drained to also make some enhancements including updated rockwork, landscaping and adding fresh paint to the surrounding areas.

“A project of this scale truly took a Kingdom to ensure its success, and today Guests and Cast Members can once again sail the waters of the Rivers of America aboard this historic 47-foot authentic steam-powered paddle wheeler”
