Two locations in Magic Kingdom’s Frontierland could close as early as June 22 to accommodate ongoing construction of a Cars-themed area.
Westward Ho, a snack stand, and Big Al’s, a merchandise kiosk, no longer appear as structures on official park maps. The Disney World calendar also shows no operating hours for either spot starting June 22, leading observers to suspect permanent closure. Disney has not officially confirmed the shutdowns.
