Disney World Announces Major 2026 Expansion to Magic Kingdom’s Frontierland

Walt Disney World confirmed new details in 2026 for its previously announced Frontierland expansion, continuing the park’s multi‑year transformation. The project builds on the 2024–2025 opening of Tiana’s Bayou Adventure and extends the land with new dining, entertainment, and themed pathways.

Disney Imagineering revealed that the 2026 phase will introduce a new riverside restaurant, expanded character experiences, and additional interactive elements designed to modernize the land while preserving its Americana roots.

Construction updates released by Disney show active site development behind Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, where future attractions are planned as part of the resort’s long‑term growth strategy.

Disney officials say the 2026 additions reflect the company’s commitment to evolving Magic Kingdom with new storytelling and guest experiences.
