Westward Ho Refreshments Closes as Piston Peak Construction Advances

Visible retaining walls and buried utility work show Disney is installing core infrastructure to prepare Frontierland for the Cars‑themed Piston Peak expansion.

Overview

  • The Westward Ho kiosk was removed from Disney listings and closed on June 22, 2026, leaving both Frontierland kiosks named in earlier permit filings shuttered.
  • Aerial and on‑site photos show a near‑complete concrete stream retaining wall, heavy grading, and large subterranean runs for potable, reclaimed and stormwater lines.
  • Disney has not issued a public statement about the closure and followed a pattern of quietly removing hours and web pages before physically shuttering locations.
  • Cast members have redirected guests to nearby carts and Disney has relocated at least one popular item, the Candied Bacon Skewer, to Golden Oak Outpost.
  • Notices of Commencement name Buena Vista Construction Company as the contractor and filings indicate shared infrastructure must be operational by 2028 for Piston Peak.
