We now know when Big Al’s and Westward Ho in Magic Kingdom will likely close permanently. The two kiosks are closing for construction of Piston Peak National Park, a Cars expansion to Frontierland.

Big Al’s and Westward Ho Closing Dates

The Walt Disney World website lists no operating hours for Big Al’s after May 10 and no hours for Westward Ho after June 21.

Both kiosks have already been removed from the park’s digital map.

Big Al’s is located directly outside Country Bear Musical Jamboree. It began as a ticket booth when Magic Kingdom opened in 1971 before becoming a carving location. It has been a gift shop since 1989, selling merchandise like coonskin caps, cowboy hats, and bubble wands. According to the story, it’s Al’s cabin that he turned into a shop to bank on the success of the Country Bears.

If Big Al’s is demolished, the last remaining former ride ticket booths in the park would be the current Disney Vacation Club kiosk in Tomorrowland and a portion of the Memento Mori facade in Liberty Square.

Westward Ho is a snack stand serving frozen lemonade, cold brew, and snacks such as mini corn dogs.

The nearby ice cream, churro, and popcorn carts will be relocated elsewhere in Frontierland when construction begins in this area.

When the kiosks close and the carts are relocated, the nearby construction walls will be moved forward into the existing riverwalk area. A pedestrian pathway will be temporarily installed along the promenade for parade viewing and movement during the years of expected construction.

WDWNT was told cast members will move to other Frontierland locations.
