Welcome to this week’s edition of MiceShots, a weekly photo column detailing the beauty of Disneyland. Today, our subject to photograph is the Rivers of America. We rode the Mark Twain for this short but refreshing journey. Come with us on our short trip around the Rivers of America to view some beautiful sights and get away from the hustle and bustle of the rest of the resort.

Rivers of America on the Mark Twain

Disneyland can get incredibly crowded, especially during school vacations and holidays. For those seeking a respite from the hustle and bustle, consider taking a leisurely trip around the Rivers of America to unwind and recharge. On our Disneyland day, we hopped aboard the Mark Twain Riverboat.

If sailing a boat through Pirates of the Caribbean isn’t enough pirate drama for you, you could always take the raft over to Pirate’s Lair on Tom Sawyer Island.

While you can enjoy a relaxing trip around the river on a larger ship, another option is to work for your views and paddle with a large group in Davy Crockett’s Explorer Canoes.
