The Treehouse opened as the "Swiss Family Island Treehouse" on October 1, 1971, with the rest of the Magic Kingdom <ref> http://touringplans.com/magic-kingdom/attractions/swiss-family-treehouse </ref>. Although the tree looks authentic, it is actually made up of steel, concrete and stucco<ref> http://guide2wdw.com/magic-kingdom/attractions/swiss-family-treehouse/ </ref>. Since it's its opening, the only major change to the attraction came in 1981 (some websites mistakenly state the date as 1989) when the world "Island" was removed from itthe name <ref> http://disneymaps.nedsplace.com/mkguide.php?idx=48 </ref> <ref> http://disneymaps.nedsplace.com/mkguide.php?idx=110 </ref>. In 2017, Disney added a waiting area for guests who chose not (or are physically incapable of) climbing the treehouse while the rest of their party does. This new area features the "starter's namechair" used by Mother, which was taken straight out of a scene from the film. In the Swiss Family Treehouse, when celebrating their first year on the island, the family holds a series of festivities including games and races. The chair built during this scene, and the flags that accompany them are now apart of the attraction <ref> http://www.parkeology.com/2017/03/swiss-family-treehouse-new-scene.html </ref>.

The story of the Swiss Family Treehouse begins at the base of the tree and continues as guests climb up. The walkways that guests climb as they ascend into the treehouse are made from the Swallow's deck<ref name= "Jack"> http://land.allears.net/blogs/jackspence/2011/05/swiss_family_treehouse_2.html </ref>.

Also at the bottom base of the tree is a pulley system which brings water up to the treehouse in bamboo cups. Once the water reaches the various rooms in the house, bamboo pipes carry the water into water barrels.
