New Details Revealed for Largest Expansion at Magic Kingdom



At D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event this weekend, Walt Disney World Chairman Josh D'Amaro revealed exciting new details about the resort. Besides encountering monsters and villains, you'll soon be able to explore the great outdoors with an expansion in Frontierland themed around Pixar Animation Studios' "Cars."

We are leaving Radiator Springs and heading west to discover new places. For this new frontier, the Rivers of America and Tom Sawyer Island will be transformed into vast and rugged terrain for some of the world's most iconic racers to compete. 

“We are thrilled to create this original Cars adventure and put our guests in the driver’s seat as we—quite literally—explore a new frontier in Frontierland,” shared Michael Hundgen, Walt Disney World Portfolio Executive Producer at Walt Disney Imagineering. “Part of pioneering this new story includes tapping into the themes of exploration and adventure that inspire so many of us to keep propelling forward. Anytime we touch Magic Kingdom, we recognize the massive responsibility that exists to get it right and tell stories that connect with our guests.”

With a brand-new rally race through the mountains, hiking trails, and dodging geysers, along with another family-friendly attraction, the new area will have something for everyone.

There will be plenty of time for guests to enjoy Frontierland's charm and nostalgia before work picks up next year.

Beyond Big Thunder Mountain, guests can explore an all-new land dedicated to Disney Villains. Inspired by the wicked characters fans know and loathe, the multi-acre expansion will include two major attractions, plus dining and shopping. Walt Disney Imagineering is pushing creative boundaries to dark and mysterious levels to bring this new, first-of-its-kind land to life.

Together, these new additions to Magic Kingdom will represent the largest expansion in park history.
