Overview
- Multiple outlets reported on July 12 that Walt Disney World removed the Frontierland boardwalk from both the My Disney Experience digital map and the park's printed guidemaps, even though most of the wood boardwalk remains open to guests.
- Reporters say the removal follows a repeatable sequence where Disney first deletes features from maps, then erects construction walls and closes them, a pattern that played out earlier this year when three Frontierland kiosks were removed from maps before they shut.
- On the ground, the boardwalk segment nearest Liberty Square has been walled off since early June, Big Al’s closed on May 11, and Westward Ho closed on June 22, leaving only a few snack carts operating nearby.
- Disney has confirmed the Cars‑themed Piston Peak National Park will include a boardwalk feature and released concept art showing one, but the company has not given a timeline for when the remaining boardwalk sections will close or when Piston Peak will open.
- The map update shortens the window for guests who want to walk the existing boardwalk and signals a wider, multi‑year reconfiguration of Magic Kingdom that is reshaping guest routes, snack options, and long‑standing park sightlines.
