New Magic Kingdom Expansion Unveiled
Disney Parks Chairman Josh D’Amaro unveiled groundbreaking plans for Magic Kingdom during the recent D23 Expo. In addition to a new Villains-themed experience and nighttime parade, guests will soon embark on an epic adventure through uncharted territory with a Cars-inspired expansion in Frontierland.
Get ready to trade in Radiator Springs for a high-octane rally through rugged landscapes. To accommodate this thrilling new frontier, the iconic Rivers of America and Tom Sawyer Island will undergo a transformation, becoming the backdrop for an exhilarating race featuring beloved Cars characters.

“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.”
The new area will bring you along for the ride (pun intended) with a brand-new thrilling rally race through the mountains, climbing trails, and dodging geysers, in addition to a second attraction geared towards fun for the whole family.
Ahead of work revving into high gear next year, guests will have plenty of time to experience the charm and nostalgia of Frontierland as it is today.
And cruising just around the bend, guests will be able to venture Beyond Big Thunder Mountain into 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.
