Overview
- Big Al’s in Frontierland permanently closed Monday, May 11, and Disney removed the location from its website and the My Disney Experience map.
- Crews wrapped the stand in construction walls Tuesday to stage its removal, a step expected to widen nearby walkways during multi‑year Piston Peak work.
- Notices of Commencement list Disney’s in‑house Buena Vista Construction Company for projects at Big Al’s, Westward Ho, and the churro cart.
- Westward Ho still shows operating hours only through June 22 on Disney’s app, signaling it could be the next near‑term closure tied to the project.
- Piston Peak National Park will replace the former Rivers of America and Tom Sawyer Island area, and the loss of Big Al’s—originally a 1971 ticket booth—underscores the shift away from classic Frontierland details.
