Harper's Mill

Harper's Mill

Harper's Mill is a building located on Tom Sawyer Island at Disneyland, Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom and Tokyo Disneyland. All three have very different, distinct appearances, but all of them feature a water wheel attached to, or near the building. They are all named after the character, "Joe Harper", from "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" and "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn".

The official name of the mill at Disneyland is "Harper's Cider Mill" and serves as part of the stage for the nighttime show Fantasmic!. It is rumored that most of the mechanics needed for the show are inside the mill.

Inside the mill at The Magic Kingdom in Walt Disney World there is a scene from Disney's "The Old Mill". The gears inside the mill also "creak" to the tune of "Down by the Old Mill Stream".

Lafitte's Tavern

When Tom Sawyer Island at Disneyland was updated and themed to Pirates of the Caribbean in early 2007, Harper's Mill became "Lafitte's Tavern" presumably named after "Lafitte's Landing" from the Pirates of the Caribbean ride (which in turn was named after the pirate Jean Lafitte). The Fantasmic! stage in front of the mill is used for a pirate show during the day.
