Magic Kingdom’s Frontierland has seen massive changes over the last year, but the change is just getting started!
Over the summer of 2024, Frontierland welcomed Tiana’s Bayou Adventure along with an updated version of The Country Bear Jamboree. But that is not all the changes happening in Frontierland. The Frontierland Shootin Arcade closed to make way for a Disney Vacation Club Member lounge, and Big Thunder Mountain has also closed for a lengthy refurbishment as it is not set to re-open until 2026.
But wait, there is more! The Rivers of America, along with Tom Sawyer Island, are set to close to make way for the Cars expansion. While we are all for Magic Kingdom getting new attractions, there is a complicated reason why we are not entirely sold on this new area of the park.
