Disney Restores Liberty Square’s Original Music at Magic Kingdom
The move signals responsiveness to fan criticism over recent removals during Piston Peak construction.
Overview
- Disney quietly reinstated Liberty Square’s colonial-era music loop, replacing the Sousa marches introduced earlier this year.
- The reversal follows months of guest frustration after Rivers of America was drained, Tom Sawyer Island was removed, and the Liberty Square Riverboat ceased operating.
- There was no formal announcement, with the soundtrack simply returning in the park during regular operations.
- Work continues on Piston Peak, a National Parks–inspired Cars expansion replacing the former waterways and adding a high-energy off-road rally and a family-friendly ride.
- Big Thunder Mountain Railroad remains closed through 2026 for a refresh that will tie the coaster into the new land.
