Website Listings Show Closing Dates for Big Al’s and Westward Ho at Magic Kingdom
The schedule change points to construction pushing into the Frontierland boardwalk for the Piston Peak National Park expansion.
Overview
- The Walt Disney World website, updated Wednesday, shows no hours after May 10 for Big Al’s and after June 21 for Westward Ho.
- Both Frontierland kiosks were previously removed from the My Disney Experience digital map, signaling an operational wind-down.
- Outlets link the closures to work on Piston Peak National Park, a Cars-themed area planned for Frontierland, though Disney has not detailed a final plan.
- Reporting says construction walls will advance into the riverwalk, carts will shift to other spots, and a temporary promenade path will keep parade viewing and guest flow.
- Cast members assigned to the kiosks are expected to move to other Frontierland roles, and Big Al’s carries heritage value as a former 1971 ticket booth turned gift shop.
