===Disney Parks===
====Tom Sawyer Island====
Clemens' characters are featured in Tom Sawyer Island at the Disney Parks. While Clemens himself does not appear, the "Fort Langhorn" and "Fort Sam Clemens" were both locations in the Magic Kingdom and Disneyland respectively, both named for the author.
====Mark Twain Riverboat====
In the Disney theme parks, Mark Twain serves as the namesake of the Mark Twain Riverboat attraction with dialogue of him playing. In Walt Disney World's counterpart to the attraction The Liberty Belle Riverboat, Sam serves as a narrator. The ride is set during Clemens' time as a steamboat sailor (in real-life he served aboard steamboats from 1857 to 1861) and him going by the name of Sam Clemens while serving one Captain Horace Bixby.
The Liberty Belle features a fictionalized version of Clemens, with him being familiar with fictional characters and locations, like Beacon Joe, Big Thunder Mountain, and the Haunted Mansion. He even mentions having been childhood friends with Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer and them having played together on Tom Sawyer Island.
====The American Adventure====
Co-hosting the Audio-Animatronics show alongside Benjamin Franklin, Mark Twain serves as a representative of the 19th century and a somewhat cynical counterpart to Franklin's optimism. Outside the main narrator role, Twain appears within the 1876 Centennial Exposition sequence interacting with Andrew Carnegie, Susan B. Anthony, and Alexander Graham Bell.
