Disney is set to reopen Prairie Outpost in Frontierland at Magic Kingdom on June 30, 2025, this time as a headwear-focused retail location. The updated shop will feature a range of styles from Chapel Hats, known for their classic and fashion-forward designs.

Located next to the Country Bear Musical Jamboree, the storefront was previously home to Prairie Outpost & Supply, a candy and snack shop that quietly closed in 2020 and has remained shuttered since. This reopening marks the first time the location has been operational in over five years.

According to Disney, the new store invites guests to “become a fashion pioneer” as they browse:

  • Wide-brimmed Western-style hats
  • Classic fedoras
  • Customizable and themed headwear

    This is good, imo. It's the exact kind of shop that would've been there in 1971. Thematically relevant, minimal IP, decent quality products. Hoping it does well.

    Worth the price of admission.

    Especially semi-aquatic egg-laying mammals of action.

    Good. More for the O.W.A.C.A

    Leather fedoras aren't as popular as straw or pith, though...

    Frontierland had a hat shop for decades, so I guess Disney was out of touch back then too?

    I look at it similar to the Sunglass Hut in Adventureland. It isn't going to break sales records, but it is nice for guests when they need one. Besides, we need more unique stores, not less.

    What kind of store would you reccomend in that location?

    people wear hats all the time especially in the hot Florida sun.

    Variety is good, even if it’s not optimized to contain things that every guest will want. Relentless replacement of once-unique offerings with mouse ears and spirit jerseys is how we’ve gotten to the sad place we have with merchandise basically everywhere that isn’t World Showcase.

    Are there really that many people looking to buy hats while in the park? The people running Disney are so out of touch with actual people.

    Did they repaint the signage? Could have sworn it was a more aged yellow? The white really stands out, and not in a good way. It seems like they've done little if anything to draw guests in or inform them of the shop's offerings. Probably could have zhuzhed it up a bit. Oh well.
