MK Cars-Themed Attractions at Magic Kingdom

So come July 7, are we expecting walls around the river, or will that come later?

Later

• The Rivers of America, Liberty Belle, and Tom Sawyer's Island last day of operation will be July 6th, 2025 (33 days from today, June 3rd)
  • Construction walls will not go up for a few weeks and will not impede bridges or walkways as long as is possible
  • The boardwalks along the river will remain open as long as possible

Nothing at all odd about that, but this obviously through your lens and those of your brethren.

well yeah…. I’m not visiting Disney for things that, through my lens, are a waste of time and money. That would be quite silly.

I don't think we know yet but reports are the walkway/boardwalk will remain for a while so if walls go up they will be beyond that

The walkways are very helpful with traffic flow, particularly when there is a parade/cavalcade.

There is a line for the barrel bridge. So sad

closing the riverboat, island, and muppets less in the same summer is cruel!!!

If we're sharing, I tried getting night shots. I only have the phone camera to work with, but I love the soft glow of lanterns and how atmospheric the place is, so I had to try.

Also took this (back on the 2nd; not copying the previous person who took a similar picture);

Farewell beautiful river.

Many fond memories.

More and more, all I have is fond memories.

Do we think they'll clone stamp tool over the whole river like they did Grand Ave on the guide or do we think it'll just be blank for a bit

I think it might depend on how much they close. If the boardwalk and dock are immediately made inaccessible, they may want to at least remove those to limit navigational confusion.

[Casper Gutman]

I genuinely wonder if there are any creatives involved with this project who think it’s a good idea. It just seems utterly doomed to be remembered pretty universally as an indefensible mistake, something akin to the replacement of Imagination.

It's 8:17 EDT -- how long is the line already?

That crowd response to this reveal was entirely silence with a few notable boos throughout that entire presentation for Cars. There was no clapping. These are Disney's biggest supporters.

That's all that needs to be said about this expansion.

1000% agree!

I'd rather have RoA and the steamboat then this garbage.

TOTALLY AGREE! Disney is getting rid of everything Americana or history related that Walt himself created and dreamed of!

I'd rather have RoA and the steamboat then this garbage.

Wait, a "reimagined section of Frontierland"??? So this is not going in behind BTM? Reimagined means bulldozed.... TSI?

Yup! BULLDOZED! They have bulldozed thousands of trees just to make room for construction equipment to ruin Frontierland and the Magic Kingdom forever! Disney needs to stop preaching about conservation and making us use paper straws that fall apart before we finish a drink when they are getting rid of so much natural landscape and living trees!

Site we dont say is saying "They do not appear to be doing wristbands for the final ride tonight so expect anarchy"

I feel like it won't be anarchy as Liberty Belle still has the capacity turnstiles and a waiting area, rather than an actual queue area. If anything, it'll be getting people off TSI that will cause the issues as people will probably be trying to be the last person on the island
