Magic Kingdom is undergoing notable changes, with the recent closure of the long-standing Frontierland Shootin’ Arcade. After nearly 53 years of entertaining guests, this iconic attraction will be replaced by a new Disney Vacation Club (DVC) members-only lounge. This transition reflects Disney’s ongoing efforts to update and enhance visitor experiences.
Frontierland Shootin’ Arcade Closes
The Frontierland Shootin’ Arcade had its final day of operation recently. The arcade, known for its classic Wild West shooting gallery, has been a staple in Magic Kingdom’s Frontierland since its opening. However, as part of Disney’s continuous efforts to revamp and modernize its attractions, the decision was made to close this beloved activity.
New DVC Members-Only Lounge
In place of the Frontierland Shootin’ Arcade, a new exclusive lounge for Disney Vacation Club members will be established. This new lounge aims to provide a unique and comfortable space for DVC members to relax and enjoy their visit to the Magic Kingdom. The nearby Disney Vacation Club kiosk and Frontier Trading Post will remain open to serve guests.
Additional Developments
With the closure of the Frontierland Shootin’ Arcade, construction walls have appeared around the site, signaling the beginning of the transformation process. The new lounge is part of a broader initiative to offer more tailored experiences for Disney Vacation Club members, reflecting a trend towards exclusive amenities within the parks.
Conclusion
As Walt Disney World continues to evolve, the closure of the Frontierland Shootin’ Arcade and the introduction of a new DVC members-only lounge mark a significant shift in the park’s offerings. These changes highlight Disney’s commitment to providing diverse and high-quality experiences for all visitors. Keep an eye out for further updates on this and other developments at Magic Kingdom.
