Construction walls are already up around the Frontierland Shootin’ Arcade at Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom.


The Shootin’ Arcade closed last night to make way for a new Disney Vacation Club lounge.

The construction walls span the entire front of the arcade, beginning near the DVC kiosk and extending to the Frontier Trading Post store.

Don't get too excited. Remember, EPCOT was supposed to look like this: We'll see how the final product turns out.

Surprised they put a smidge of effort into this, I was expecting something along the lines of the new Fort Wilderness cabins, so at least an attempt to match the theming was a surprise. Though the bar is low at this point.

Just spotted that this piece of concept art for Western River Expedition seems to be on the wall

They said New Frontierland, not better. It's all subjective on whether or not you like the updates, but once this project is finished, Frontierland will look very different to what it did in 2022. The only thing that isn't receiving any updates seems to be Frontierland Trading Company and Pecos Bill's retheme seems to have gone very quiet

Thank you for showing this, because most of us unwashed masses won't ever see the inside of that thing. Us peasants that only drop $5000-$10000 on WDW vacations in a year aren't good enough for this lounge.

I see what you mean but Country Bears is MUCH better off now than it was before the redo. You can not like the new show but they completed refurbished the theater and restored the animatronics and people have renewed interest in the show and the bears get to stick around for a while. The theater is actually full now and isn't empty like it used to be. Whether you like the new show or not it's definitely not worse off than it was.

You have to remember that these are all opinions. There are people who like Tiana’s more than Splash. There are people who like CBMJ better than the original. There are people who would rather have Cars attractions than TSI or River views. “New Frontierland” may not work for some people, but it will breathe some new life into that corner of the park for others.

I saw someone mention “New Frontierland” a few posts above. Each attraction except for BTM will be worse off than it was 4 years ago. Splash Mountain? Inferior replacement. Country Bears? Inferior replacement. TSI? Destroyed. Shooting Arcade? Replaced by a DVC lounge. The only improvement has been the menu at Pecos Bill’s. To top it all off, the beautiful view of the river will be destroyed.

I’m sure the borrowed charging cord will be linked to your account, and if it doesn’t return, I’m sure your account will be “charged” for it…!!!!! :D:hilarious: I’ll be here all week folks…!!! Make sure to tip your waiters and waitresses, and don’t forget to try the veal…!!!!! 😁 Sorry, couldn’t resist…this is what happens when I go to bed too early and wake up too early…!!!!! 🤪:hilarious:;)

More likely to raise the rate to make it look "special" - marketing 101

The cabins flopped? Let’s have some deep discounts and I’ll think about it!
