Westward Ho Kiosk at Magic Kingdom Shows No Hours After June 22, Signaling Imminent Closure
The website change points to another permanent removal to make room for the Cars‑themed Piston Peak National Park expansion.
Overview
- Walt Disney World’s official calendar lists no operating hours for the Westward Ho quick‑service kiosk after June 22, 2026, a change outlets say has functioned as a de facto closure notice.
- Planning documents reviewed by reporters place Westward Ho inside the Piston Peak demolition footprint, and Big Al’s kiosk has already closed and entered demolition as part of the same work.
- Westward Ho remains open and serving guests for now, but at least one signature item, the Candied Bacon Skewer, has been moved to the nearby Golden Oak Outpost.
- Disney has not issued a public announcement about the kiosk’s fate, and observers note a pattern where website hour removals for other Frontierland locations were followed the same day by construction walls and closures.
- The kiosk’s likely removal is part of a larger Frontierland reshaping tied to the D23‑announced Piston Peak project that required removing Tom Sawyer Island and the Rivers of America and has already changed guest circulation and food service locations.
