Disney World Files Permits for Magic Kingdom's Frontierland Expansion

Big changes are coming to Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom as Disney has already filed the first permits for the expansion of Frontierland, which will introduce two Cars-themed attractions to the park. Tom Sawyer Island and the Rivers of America will be transformed into the Cars-themed area, which will bring the total number of classic Magic Kingdom attractions closed in recent years to 3.

The recently filed permits focus on water management and construction staging, essential for preparing the land. Three construction laydown yards will be established, with one visible from within the park along the northwestern banks of the Rivers of America.

Disney has announced that construction will ramp up next year, with major work starting in early 2025. There will be two attractions that call the new Cars area home, a brand-new thrilling rally race as well as a yet-to-be-described family friendly attraction.
