Overview
- Walt Disney World removed the Frontierland boardwalk from its My Disney Experience app and printed park map, a change reported July 12 that reporters treat as a deliberate indicator of forthcoming construction.
- Most of the boardwalk remains walkable on the ground today but the Liberty Square‑adjacent section closed in early June and has been walled off and replaced with a paved walkway.
- Disney has confirmed concept art for Piston Peak National Park includes a new boardwalk feature, but the company has not announced an opening date for the Cars‑themed land.
- The park’s recent sequence of actions—public tip/reporting, permit filings, digital map removal, then construction walls—played out earlier this year with Frontierland kiosks that closed on scheduled dates (Big Al’s on May 11 and Westward Ho on June 22), so the map edit is being read as a likely prelude to physical closure.
- Separately, quiet removals in Tomorrowland, including the final themed entrance tower, have prompted industry speculation that larger refurbishments such as a Space Mountain rebuild could follow, and guests should expect more phased closures and reduced in‑land services as work expands.
