Walt Disney World is always undergoing changes, and one notable update is the upcoming permanent closure of the Frontierland Shootin’ Arcade at Magic Kingdom. This decision comes as part of a broader effort to introduce new DVC-exclusive experiences within the park.
Closure Details
The Frontierland Shootin’ Arcade will see its final day of operation on June 23rd. Originally an opening day attraction at Magic Kingdom, the arcade transitioned to a free-to-play format in October 2021. The space currently occupied by the arcade is set to be repurposed for a new Disney Vacation Club Members-only lounge.
Impact of the Closure
The closing of the Frontierland Shootin’ Arcade signifies the end of a nostalgic feature for many guests. However, it also makes way for enhancements aimed at providing fresh and exclusive experiences for Disney Vacation Club members. While some may feel a sense of loss, the change underscores Disney’s commitment to evolving and improving its offerings.
Final Words
As Magic Kingdom continues to transform and welcome new attractions, the closure of the Frontierland Shootin’ Arcade is a reminder of the park’s dynamic nature. Though farewells are in order for this classic attraction, the anticipation of upcoming developments and new experiences keeps the magic alive for Disney World enthusiasts.
