The Liberty Square Riverboat in the Magic Kingdom takes you on a scenic cruise around the Rivers of America onboard a 3-tiered, Colonial-American inspired steam powered riverboat. During the ride, you will listen to a narrative by Mark Twain and pass by Native American village, Fort Langhorn and some unique views of Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, Haunted Mansion and Splash Mountain.
Choose from 4 different decks on the Liberty Belle for your journey. The Pilothouse features the wheelhouse and Captain Quarters. The Promenade deck has a salon and collection of vintage photos and maps. The Texas Deck is the perfect place to bask in the sun and the Main Deck includes the boiler and pistons that run the paddlewheel.

Secrets/Tips and Tricks:
- The first boat ride is not until 10 am.
- There aren’t many seats available. If you don’t get one when you board, you will likely have to stand the entire time.
- Be sure to look in the river while you are on the boat. There is no telling what you might see!
- If you don’t want to be in the sun, opt for the middle deck.
