Magic Kingdom's Biggest Expansion Yet: Get Ready for Cars, Villains, and an Epic New Frontier!

Hold onto your Mickey ears, folks! Magic Kingdom is gearing up for its largest expansion ever, and let me tell you, it’s going to be a wild ride. If you’ve ever dreamed of zooming through rugged terrains with Lightning McQueen or hanging out with your favorite Disney villains, then this latest news from D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event is going to make your heart race faster than a trip on Space Mountain.

Vroom Vroom! Cars is Taking Over Frontierland

Yes, you read that right. The peaceful, nostalgia-soaked Frontierland we all know and love is getting a major makeover. We’re talking Pixar’s Cars style makeover! Soon, you’ll be able to ditch Radiator Springs and speed into uncharted territory, where the Rivers of America and Tom Sawyer Island will transform into a vast, rugged landscape perfect for a high-octane rally race.

Michael Hundgen, the genius behind Walt Disney World Portfolio at Walt Disney Imagineering, shared, “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.” Translation: get ready to buckle up and hold on tight as you race through mountains, climb trails, and dodge geysers with some of the most iconic racers on the planet.

But wait, there’s more! This expansion isn’t just for thrill-seekers. Disney has a second attraction in store that promises fun for the whole family. And yes, it’s all Cars-themed, so you can keep your engines revved.

Last Call for Classic Frontierland

Before the bulldozers roll in, you’ve still got time to soak up all the classic Frontierland vibes. Whether you’re a fan of Tom Sawyer Island or just love a good, slow cruise on the Rivers of America, make sure to pay them a visit before they’re transformed into this new Cars-tastic adventure. Nostalgia is great, but new adventures are even better—especially when they involve racing cars, right?

Beyond Big Thunder Mountain: Disney Villains Land

And just when you thought it couldn’t get any better, Disney went ahead and outdid themselves. Coming soon is an all-new land dedicated to the baddies we all love to hate—Disney Villains! Located just beyond Big Thunder Mountain, this multi-acre expansion is going to dive deep into the dark, mysterious, and oh-so-intriguing world of Disney’s most infamous villains.

Picture this: two major attractions (yes, TWO!), plus dining and shopping experiences that will make you feel like you’ve stepped right into the lairs of your favorite villains. Whether you’re team Maleficent or a die-hard Ursula fan, this land is going to be the ultimate hangout for Disney Villain aficionados.

The Largest Expansion in Magic Kingdom History

Together, these Cars and Villains additions will make up the largest expansion in Magic Kingdom’s history. That’s right, folks—bigger than New Fantasyland, bigger than anything we’ve seen before. And if Disney’s track record is anything to go by, it’s going to be nothing short of spectacular.

So, what are you waiting for? Start planning your next trip to Magic Kingdom now, because soon you’ll be racing through mountains with Lightning McQueen and rubbing elbows with the baddest villains in Disney history. Magic Kingdom is about to get a whole lot more magical, and trust me, you won’t want to miss it.
