Disney4me Posted May 6 Report Posted May 6 Some BIG things are happening in Magic Kingdom. First, Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin reopened with major changes. Then Big Thunder Mountain Railroad reopened with big changes. A Villains land is being built, while a Cars expansion is currently being constructed in Frontierland. Westward Ho Speaking of which…we’ve been eyeing two spots in Frontierland that we’ve been worried about since the Cars expansion work started. Well, now, we think Disney World has finally confirmed the closing dates for both spots. We previously noticed that Westward Ho, a snack spot in Frontierland, and Big Al’s, a shopping kiosk, were no longer represented on Disney World maps as buildings. This led us to speculation that both might have to close soon to make way for more of Piston Peak, the Cars expansion Disney is currently building in Magic Kingdom. Big Al’s Well, it seems our fears might have been grounded. When we recently checked the Disney World calendar, we noticed that neither Westward Ho nor Big Al’s had hours listed as of June 22nd, which could mean this is the date both locations will permanently close. ©Disney Now, we have to let you know that Disney has not yet confirmed that either of these locations is actually closing. We only know what we’re seeing on the Disney World calendar and map. However, we have studied the concept art for Piston Peak, and we noticed that these locations, which are part of the expansion, were not in any of the artwork we’ve seen so far. ©Disney So we’ve been preparing for these two spots to close, and it seems like it certainly may happen. As to what will happen to the food and merchandise available at these spots? Well, we know the Candied Bacon Skewer, once available at Westward Ho, has been moved over to Golden Oak Outpost, another indication that Westward Ho may be disappearing for good.
