Disney Updates My Disney Experience App, Removes Classic Attractions from Map as Park Prepares for ‘Cars’ Themed Land
Walt Disney World’s My Disney Experience mobile app received a significant update last night, reflecting the permanent closure of several long-standing Magic Kingdom attractions and revealing a new operational mode for the Walt Disney World Railroad.

As of Monday, July 7, 2025, the digital map for Magic Kingdom within the My Disney Experience app no longer displays the Rivers of America and Tom Sawyer Island. For most users, the area where these iconic elements once resided now appears as a blank expanse of trees, visually signaling their removal from the park’s landscape.
In addition to the changes around Frontierland, a zoomed-out view of Magic Kingdom on the app now illustrates the new “shuttle mode” route for the Walt Disney World Railroad. This modified operation begins today, July 7, 2025. The beloved steam train will not resume its full, scenic journey around the park until the previously announced Disney Villains land officially opens.
These digital and operational adjustments follow just one day after the permanent closure of Tom Sawyer Island, the Rivers of America, and the Liberty Square Riverboat on Sunday, July 6, 2025. These closures are being executed to facilitate the development of Piston Peak National Park, a new “Cars”-themed area slated for Frontierland, which is expected to introduce two new attractions to Magic Kingdom.
Guests visiting Magic Kingdom will now experience a different layout, both in person and via their mobile devices, as the park continues its evolution with new themed lands and attractions.
