Frontierland to Adventureland Sign - May 2025
Posted: Monday May 5, 2025 10:25am ETR by WDWMAGIC Staff

A familiar sign has returned to Magic Kingdom, once again marking the transition between Adventureland and Frontierland.



Located in the archway near Pirates of the Caribbean and Tortuga Tavern, the newly reinstalled wooden sign features two distinct sides:

  • One side reads “Passage to Frontierland”
  • The reverse side reads “Adventureland”

This transitional sign has been absent for an extended period, but its return helps restore the visual theming and wayfinding on the walkway that serves as a connector between the tropical environments of Adventureland and the Old West aesthetic of Frontierland.

    I didn't mean it wasn't understandable. It just seems too bold, as if it were the main entrance.

    If you can't figure out the sign then you have bigger problems...lol It is fine...no need for it to have a paragraph of text...

    I agree. It should somehow suggest "this way" or "ahead" or "over here." Even a little arrow would be appropriate. As it stands, it is too declarative, almost a definitive marquee for the land, which doesn't seem right.

    This can also be said for what the sign originally said: "Caribbean Plaza." They even went further by putting "Pirates of the Caribbean" in smaller type under it!

    "If you can read this sign, then you're here."

    You're technically in Adventureland once you get to the sign walking in that direction

    wonder why adventure land doesn't need a directional aspect to it? Why isn't it "passage to adventureland"?

    They'll need a new one in about 6-7 years saying "Cars Land featuring Frontierland"

    Score card: Universal: An entire new theme park with multiple lands plus three new hotels. WDW: A repainted sign ;)
