Overview
- The Frontierland boardwalk was removed from both the My Disney Experience digital map and the printed Magic Kingdom guidemap on July 12, 2026, a change reported across multiple park news sites.
- Most of the boardwalk remains walkable on site, but the first section nearest Liberty Square has been walled off since early June and two kiosks closed earlier this year with Big Al’s closing May 11 and Westward Ho closing June 22.
- Reporters note a clear pattern where Disney updates maps before physical work begins, with earlier map removals of kiosks followed by permits, construction walls, and eventual closures.
- The work is part of the Cars-themed Piston Peak National Park expansion that Disney says will include a boardwalk feature and two new attractions, though the company has not given a timeline or detailed scope for further closures or rebuilds.
- For guests the change narrows the window to walk the full boardwalk and already reduced food and retail options near Rivers of America, so observers say watching permit filings and future map updates is the best way to track when more sections will close.
