The Willis crew knows how to have a good time at Disneyland! In a throwback video posted to wife Emma Heming's Instagram account, Bruce Willis, 68, was seen cruising on the Splash Mountain ride with 11-year-old daughter, Mabel Ray.

The Disneyland attraction closed on May 31, and is currently under construction. It will soon be remodeled as Tiana's Bayou Adventure (based on the 2009 movie The Princess and the Frog). To recognize its closing, Emma shared old clips of the family enjoying the ride.

“You better watch out,” Bruce playfully says to the 11-year-old at one point as he covers her eyes. “I think we're gonna go again.”

In her caption, Heming wrote, “You bet this family will be back for more fun and laughs when you reopen as Tiana Bayou! Thanks for all the memories Splash Mountain. #splashmountain #disneylandlove.”

Additional moments in the montage featured other members of the family on the ride. In one shot, Heming smiled with Mabel, as well as her and Willis's other daughter, Evelyn Penn, 9. Meanwhile, Willis's three daughters from his marriage to Demi Moore—Rumer Glenn, 34, Scout LaRue, 31, and Tallulah Belle, 29—were seen posing on the ride in one pic (alongside Scout's boyfriend, Jake Miller).

The family clearly enjoys the amusement park. Back in May, Heming shared another video from the park for Evelyn's birthday. “Every step (38,458 to be exact) over the past day and half was taken with sheer joy and delight as we celebrated Evelyn’s 9th birthday,” Heming wrote.

This latest video of Willis arrives a little under four months after the family announced that he had been diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia. Heming shared the news on Instagram in February, writing, “Since we announced Bruce’s diagnosis of aphasia in spring 2022, Bruce’s condition has progressed and we now have a more specific diagnosis: frontotemporal dementia (known as FTD). Unfortunately, challenges with communication are just one symptom of the disease Bruce faces. While this is painful, it is a relief to finally have a clear diagnosis.”

We hope to catch this family together on Tiana's Bayou when it opens.
