Did you know.
The Liberty Square Riverboat attraction docks at – you guessed it – Liberty Square. The boat itself is named the Liberty Belle. It’s an old-timey (read: historic) steam-powered paddle-wheel riverboat that travels around the Rivers of America. As you ride, you’ll hear a recorded narrator share memories of Mark Twain’s time on the Mississippi. If you want to paddle along with us, keep reading. Oar (dad pun) to skip to the whys, wheres, and hows, here’s your shortcut .
The Liberty Belle Riverboat is a large (47-foot tall) working reproduction of the boats that ran up and down the Mississippi River in the 19th century. It’s loaded with amazing details, as you might expect. The wood craftsmanship throughout is absolutely meticulous! The large paddle is powered by an actual steam engine that functions by converting water from the Rivers of America into steam, turning the paddle to propel the boat.
The ride begins as its captain, Horace Bixby, welcomes guests aboard. He introduces his pilot, Samuel Clemens (Mark Twain) and lets you know you’re in good hands, since this is Clemens’ 100th trip piloting the Liberty Belle. You depart from the dock and navigate the winding “river”. Along the way, you’ll get views of the Magic Kingdom you just can’t get anywhere else. You’ll see Tom Sawyer Island, Harper’s Mill, and Fort Langhorn from a new vantage point. Other sights from the American frontier include settler’s cabins, old mining paraphernalia, a Native American village, animatronic wildlife, and even Wilson’s Cave Inn from Davy Crockett and the River Pirates. The riverboat also offers unique perspectives of the Haunted Mansion and Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. From the top deck especially, you’ll see Frontierland and Liberty Square in a whole new way.
As you ride, Sam Clemens offers his recollections of riding up and down the Mighty Mississippi. He points out various landmarks and shares a little about what he learned during his time on the river. Periodically, the horn and bell system are used, so you have to be prepared for the occasional and unpredictable ear-blasting loud outbursts. (I found that being toward the stern, rather than the bow, made the horn a bit more bearable.)
The first boat to sail the Rivers of America in the Magic Kingdom was the Admiral Joe Fowler. Named after Disneyland’s construction supervisor, it debuted on October 2, 1971, the day after the park’s official opening. In 1973, a second boat, the Richard F. Irvine, debuted. It was named after the Disney executive who oversaw the planning of Walt Disney World. Both boats ran on the river until 1980. The Richard F. Irvine was overhauled and received an all-new superstructure of aluminum and vinyl. The boat was renamed the Liberty Belle, and the attraction itself was renamed the Liberty Square Riverboat to make it easier to remember and to tie the boat in with Liberty Square. (Side note: two of the three ferry boats running from the Transportation and Ticket Center to the Magic Kingdom are now named the Admiral Joe Fowler and Richard F. Irvine, so their memory lives on!)
The scenery along the Rivers of America has been updated over the years. Tom Sawyer Island was added in 1973 and Big Thunder Mountain Railroad in 1980. Similar versions of this attraction have also been added to other Disney Parks. At Disneyland Paris, it’s called the Rivers of the Far West. At Hong Kong Disneyland, there is no Frontierland, so the Imagineers merged the Rivers of America with the classic Adventureland Jungle Cruise attraction.
Captain Horace Bixby, the Liberty Belle’s captain, was a real steamboat captain on the Mississippi. Horace Bixby and Sam Clemens met aboard a steamboat called The Paul Jones. Bixby agreed to take Sam on as his apprentice. About 21 years later, the now-famous Mark Twain reunited with Captain Bixby in St. Louis. The captain even makes an appearance in Twain’s book, Life on the Mississippi.
Inside The Liberty Belle’s Salon, there is a copy of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain.
The riverboat actually travels along an I-beam guide rail, so the pilot doesn’t really steer the ship. But that doesn’t mean he’s doing nothing. Rather, the pilot watches for other river traffic, like the Rafts to Tom Sawyer Island, and communicates to the boiler engineer who is on the bottom deck towards the stern. This is where the throttle and reverser are located, so the boiler engineer controls the speed and direction of the riverboat.
You can catch a ride on the Liberty Belle at the Magic Kingdom’s Liberty Square. There are no health or safety advisories and no height restrictions. Guests may remain in a wheelchair/ECV to ride the Liberty Belle. Sign language interpreters may be available, depending on when you visit. It’s truly a ride that everyone can enjoy.
The Liberty Belle has a maximum capacity of 450 people. You board the boat at mid-level; disembarking guests exit from the lower deck. There are 4 decks with limited seating available on each (some inside, some outside) but with plenty of space to stand and move around.
The Liberty Belle provides a stable, gentle ride. I’m vulnerable to motion sickness/sea sickness but have no trouble whatsoever riding the Liberty Belle. It’s a great idea to move around on the deck during this 17-minute trip to be sure to see all the different views.
Bad weather can affect the operation of the Liberty Belle Riverboat. Genie+ is not available, but there’s no need for it. There’s no bad time of day to ride the Liberty Belle. It departs roughly every half-hour and usually the only waiting is waiting for the boat to leave or return. A good time of day to enjoy your ride is when you want a break from the crowds! But it’s worth noting that it closes earlier than the park and other park attractions; there is also no Early Theme Park Entry and no Extended Evening Theme Park hours.
We ride the Liberty Belle nearly every time we visit Walt Disney World. But it’s not for thrill-seekers, to be sure. It’s perfectly peaceful – unless of course you’re right underneath the horn which is jarringly loud. It’s a great way to get out of the crowds, rest a bit, and enjoy a fun ride for every member of the family.

Today, we’re highlighting one of Walt Disney World’s most overlooked attractions that deserves its moment in the spotlight. The Liberty Square Riverboat (aka the Liberty Belle) is the massive boat located in Liberty Square that you’ve most likely walked right past on every single visit to Magic Kingdom.
We’re highlighting what makes this attraction so unique, and why everyone- regardless of their age- should always take a ride on the Liberty Belle when they visit Magic Kingdom. Let’s explore the boat!
Like many things in the Parks, the Liberty Square Riverboat is a look back in time. The Liberty Belle is a historically accurate, working representation of the steam ferry boats that served as passenger vessels on the Mississippi…’working’ being the key word here!
The Liberty Belle is a fully steam-powered vessel! The waterways in which you’re sailing on are actually the fuel that propels the Liberty Belle! The water from the Rivers of America are converted into mighty steam power that turns the giant paddle and actually propels you on your journey!
We can’t overlook the intricacies of the Liberty Belle’s craftsmanship. On each of the 4 decks, you’ll find beautiful deeply stained, hand-carved wood that makes up the structure of the boat. The beautiful woodwork extends to the hand-laid floor board underfoot as well.
The ornate carvings in the woodwork beneath the banisters give the Liberty Belle a historically accurate feel that blends perfectly with the Rivers of America’s surrounding themeing.
Most steam-powered boats featured an enclosed cabin for passengers to relax in.
Be it during a storm or particularly warm day, passengers of the Liberty Belle have that very same luxury as passengers of days past- as the boat features a cabin perfect for escaping the sun- and for brushing up on your history!
Photos of a developing New Orleans and the surrounding Mississippi River route are pictured in black-and-white framed photos on the walls of the cabin.
Don’t stay in one spot and miss your chance to explore the Liberty Belle on your journey…it’s the ONE attraction at Magic Kingdom that encourages you to get up and move around while the ride is in motion!
For starters, the Liberty Belle is the perfect generation-spanning attraction, meaning EVERYONE from infants to Great-Grandparents can hop aboard. Not only will you be journeying on a real steam-powered boat, but you can travel from deck to deck during the voyage to explore the different levels and views that each offer.
The Liberty Belle is also one of the best attractions for fantastic photos. If you’re a pro photographer or are shooting for Instagram, the views afforded by a trip around the Rivers of America are unparalleled.
Be ready to snap shots of Splash Mountain, Big Thunder, and the Haunted Mansion from angles you won’t get from the walkways.
Finally, the Liberty Belle was one of those attractions originally conceived by Walt himself- and we believe any attraction Walt himself had a hand in creating is ALWAYS must-rides! Have you been aboard the Liberty Belle, or is on your list for your next visit? Leave me a comment and let me know!

7 totally cool things about liberty square riverboat at walt disney world.
Posted by: Jason Dick April 17, 2018
Walt Disney World knows how to create nostalgia. And a great example of this is the Liberty Square Riverboat in Disney’s Magic Kingdom. It’s a beautiful, colonial, steam-powered riverboat, and it’ll instantly transport you to a simpler time, as you cruise along the Rivers of America. Here are our favorite things about the Liberty Square Riverboat.
7. Come One, Come All
We love the exclusivity of the Liberty Square Riverboat! Because it’s a slow-moving boat ride, there are no height or age restrictions, and it’s a family-friendly attraction. It might not keep thrill-seekers entertained, but we think it’s a brilliant way to take a break from the chaos of a busy day in the parks. Wheelchairs and ECVs can board the boat, and there is even sign language interpretation offered at certain times of the week.
6. Fun Facts
Spoilers ahead! While the attraction is named the Liberty Square Riverboat, the vessel itself is called the Liberty Belle. Your voyage will last around 20 minutes, and it will take you through the Rivers of America. For those who are curious, the river is only about 6 feet deep, and the riverboat is actually on a track in the water, much like the boats on Jungle Cruise! The water itself is dyed green, so that guests won’t be able to see the track, and have the magic ruined.
5. Unparalleled Views
Adventurers who want to explore Tom Sawyer Island can take the log raft over to the island and wander around to their hearts’ content. But if you’re looking for the best views of Tom Sawyer Island, then you’ll want to ride the Liberty Belle! The riverboat takes you around the entirety of Tom Sawyer Island, and along the way, you’ll also see unique views of several key Magic Kingdom attractions, including Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, Splash Mountain and Haunted Mansion.
4. Delightful Decks
While you enjoy your journey on the Liberty Belle, you can choose from 4 decks to sit or stroll or explore. The top deck, or pilothouse, contains the wheelhouse and Captain’s quarters. Wander along the Promenade Deck to view photos and maps from a by-gone era, or enjoy the warm Floridian sun on the Sun Deck. Of course, the real action is on the Main Deck, where you’ll find the workings of the boat itself, including the pistons that run the paddlewheel, and the boiler. There’s a lot to explore on your river cruise!
3. Family of Riverboats
The Liberty Belle is in good company! A riverboat named the Mark Twain debuted in Disneyland when it opened in 1955, and it was the first riverboat that had been build in the country in half a century. Guests can now also enjoy riverboat attractions at Walt Disney World, Tokyo Disneyland, and Disneyland Paris. WDW originally had two riverboats, the Admiral Joe Fowler and the Richard F. Irvine; the latter changed its name to the Liberty Belle in the 1990s, and is now the sole riverboat in the Magic Kingdom.
2. Working Reproduction
History buffs and boat fans alike will enjoy learning about the Liberty Belle. It’s almost 50 feet tall, with some beautifully crafted woodwork. It’s actually a faithful replica of the types of boats that used to carry passengers up and down the Mississippi River, which means it’s a unique glimpse into the past. How does it work? The Liberty Belle’s steam engine turns water into steam, and it’s that steam that provides the power to turn the paddlewheel, which drives the boat.
1. Famous Voice
Your voyage on the Liberty Belle is narrated by several characters, and Disney fans might recognize one of the recorded voices: it’s none other than Thurl Ravenscroft, the famous voice behind Tony the Tiger (of Frosted Flakes fame). Thurl provided the speaking and singing voices for many iconic Disney rides – you’ve probably heard his voice many times, even if you didn’t realize it! He voiced the lead bust in Haunted Mansion, various voices in the Enchanted Tiki Room, Buff in the Country Bear Jamboree, and multiple pirates in Pirates of the Caribbean!
Top 10 things to do in new york.
Visit times square.
Known for its dazzling lights, giant digital billboards, and endless hustle and bustle, Times Square is the city's heartbeat. Don't forget to catch a Broadway show while you're there, as the theaters in and around Times Square host some of the best performances in the world.
Central Park is a sprawling green oasis in the middle of Manhattan, offering a peaceful escape from the urban jungle. Renting a bike or taking a horse-drawn carriage ride is a great way to see more of its 843 acres.
Often called "The Met," it is one of the most famous art museums in the world. From ancient Egyptian artefacts to European masterpieces, there's something for everyone. Don't miss the rooftop garden, which offers stunning views of Central Park and the Manhattan skyline.
Take a ferry from Battery Park to Liberty Island, where you can explore the statue up close and enjoy panoramic views of the city. The same ferry will take you to Ellis Island, where you can learn about the millions of immigrants who passed through its doors seeking a new life in America.
Walking across the bridge offers stunning views of the Manhattan skyline, the East River, and the Statue of Liberty. Start your walk in Brooklyn for the best views of Manhattan, and end your journey in Lower Manhattan, where you can explore neighborhoods like Chinatown.
The 9/11 Memorial & Museum is a poignant and powerful tribute to the lives lost during the September 11th attacks. The memorial features two reflecting pools set in the footprints of the Twin Towers, surrounded by the names of the victims.
From timeless classics to modern hits, there's something for every taste. Many shows are performed in historic theaters, adding to the experience. If you're looking for last-minute tickets, the TKTS booth in Times Square often has discounted tickets for same-day performances.
The High Line is a unique park built on a former elevated railway track along Manhattan's west side. This urban oasis features beautiful gardens, art installations, and stunning views of the Hudson River.
Whether it's the historic charm of Greenwich Village, the artistic vibe of SoHo, the luxury of the Upper East Side, or the eclectic energy of Chinatown, each area offers something unique. Take some time to wander, shop, and eat your way through these vibrant communities.

2024 longtail rally: supercar drivers tour times square—and tame a dragon.
A McLaren 600LT and the author's Porsche 911 Turbo S cross Pennsylvania on LongTail Rally 2024
How do the folks at LongTrail Rally top an event that’s already treated participants to a run up California’s Highway 1, a Pikes Peak Hill Climb, and a helicopter ride over Yellowstone — on the way to hot laps at Utah Motorsports Campus? Clearly this really has set high expectations, with drivers wondering what was in store for year four, and how it can top what’s come before? Especially when the LongTail Rally’s fourth iteration required shipping cars to New York City before things even got started...
Those questions were asked and answered on the 2024 LongTail Rally, as the 8-day excursion saw exotic cars parading through New York’s Times Square, taking over PNC Park in Pittsburgh, gathering at the posh Greenbrier luxury resort in West Virginia, and taming the famed Tail of the Dragon in Deals Gap, North Carolina. Each of these locations was strung together by some of the best driving roads east of the Mississippi, and all of them included thrilling activities far beyond the joy of driving high-performance cars on America’s picturesque highways.
LongTail Rally "mom" Julie Milne celebrates with participants and Lady Liberty
Before cruising through the East Coast we had to Cruise along the most famous U.S. coastline. Boarding the “Enchanted” yacht shortly before sunset meant watching New York City’s famous city lights come up as the sun went down. Our 3-hour tour didn’t end in a shipwreck-based TV series, though it did see LongTail Rally veterans reconnecting while welcoming first-timers. The multi-course dinner cruise also offered unobstructed views and photo ops of iconic landmarks like the Statue of Liberty, One World Trade Center, and the Brooklyn Bridge.
The MB&F McLaren 720S "shark" leads LongTail Rallyers through Times Square
The first day of driving kicked off with a head-turning parade of Bentleys, Ferraris, Lamborghinis, McLarens, and Porsches making their way along Broadway, through Times Square, and under the Hudson River. Many a Big Apple tourist could be seen fumbling for cell phone cameras as nearly two-dozen exotic cars rolled beneath New York’s sweeping digital displays. While not considered a car-friendly city, New York’s natives and visitors alike offered nothing but smiles and thumbs up as the stream of sweeping, brightly colored bodywork rolled through its maze of steel and glass.
The thrill of driving is heightened in a kart, despite their small size and lower speeds
After a 400-mile drive to Pittsburgh the first LongTail Rally “chill” day began with a karting competition at Pittsburgh International Race Complex. A warm-up heat, followed by a 60-minute endurance race for teams of three, identified which drivers found the smoothest line around the course. Karts offer a fraction of the speed and power found in modern supercars, but their low ride height and lack of wind protection makes them feel fast while rewarding drivers who maintain momentum around the race circuit. The fun factor has to be experienced to be believed.
Taking over Pittsburgh's PNC Park was yet another lifetime memory formed during LongTail 2024
Musk-trump x interview: trump takes friendly questions from musk after glitch-plagued start, trump vs. harris 2024 polls: harris expands lead in latest survey, day 2 evening: batting at pnc park.
The evening’s dinner was one for the memory banks, as it combined a LongTail Rally takeover of PNC Park with ballpark food and batting practice. Rally cars were driven through the park’s main (pedestrian) entrance and parked right next to Fat Head’s concessions stand. Once inside, participants could literally swing for the fences on the same home plate as big-league players while listening to a curated list of songs over the PA system. LongTail Rally-themed jerseys and Jumbotron graphics completed the once-in-a-lifetime takeover experience.
Will Collette and Matt Perry of Ghostworx park their Audi R8 and Porsche 911 at The GreenBrier
A scenic 260-mile hop through the Blue Ridge Mountains had the rally pulling up to historic Greenbrier Resort in West Virginia. A historic landmark oozing legacy, luxury, and tradition going back to 1778, the Greenbrier is also home to the famous “Project Greek Island” underground bunker. The secret fallout bunker was completed in 1962 to serve as an emergency shelter for congress during a nuclear strike, but was decommissioned in 1992 when its existence was revealed. Rally participants toured it, and enjoyed additional resort activities like trap shooting and falconry.
LongTail participants (and George Washington) dine in the government's formerly secret fallout ... [+] shelter
Another day of twists and turns through the Appalachian Mountains gave drivers a preview of coming attractions, including a particularly engaging stretch of pavement dubbed “The Back of the Dragon” that snakes through southwest Virginia. The Back of the Dragon compresses 438 turns into 32 miles and provides some of the best scenery you’ll find in North America. The lush greenery along this route looks more like an Amazon rainforest than American backcountry, though the sound of turbocharged six-, eight-, and 10-cylinder engines confirmed which country we were in. An excellent appetizer before LongTail Rally’s main course...
The 2024 LongTail Rally headline event — The Tail of the Dragon
If The Back of the Dragon’s 438 turns in 32 miles wasn’t enough to hold a driver’s interest, the Tail of the Dragon’s 318 turns in 11 miles surely did the trick. Boasting international fame as one of the best driving experiences on the planet, the Tail of the Dragon lived up to its hype. LongTailers enjoyed several back-and-forth excursions on this ribbon of road that borders the Great Smokey Mountains National Park. The Tail certainly requires your full attention, but its smooth pavement offers the perfect environment for capable cars driven by capable drivers.
A week of driving adventures brings LongTail members closer...maybe too close...
After begrudgingly departing The Dragon our rally troupe made its way to Music City. Nashville’s summer nightlife and charm rivals New Orleans’ during Marti Gras, with teeming revelers lining downtown streets as the sun sets. You can feel the energy of one of the fastest growing cities in the U.S., and after 7 days and 1,000 miles of automotive adventure it was the perfect last stop to celebrate car culture camaraderie. A final party at the Redneck Riviera on Broadway gave drivers and co-drivers a chance to relax and relive the week’s events.
Two heads, and drivers, are better than one, as reflected in the LongTail Rally's better half
And there was a lot to relive, with LongTail 2024 offering nearly as many “chill” days as driving days. For this fourth year the list of non-driving activities was the longest yet, and a testament to how well organizers Mike Knapp and Julie Milne have balanced traditional automotive adventure with rare and imaginative life experiences. Best of all, the LongTail Rally’s history of bringing like-minded enthusiasts together, and creating bonds that feel more like family than friends, is more prominent every time this unique event happens.
Mike Knapp and Julie Milne continue to make the magic happen on every LongTail event
