We’ve known these Disney World closures were coming, but we didn’t know how soon they would be!
Tom Sawyer Island
Disney World’s own Cars-themed area is coming, and to make way for Lightning McQueen and friends, Magic Kingdom is getting reworked, and we finally have closing dates.
The Rivers of America, Tom Sawyer Island, and the Liberty Square Riverboat will be permanently closing on July 7th, making the last day of operation July 6th.

Disney said the construction walls won’t be up for a few weeks, and they won’t get in the way of the new Magic Kingdom nighttime parade, Disney Starlight: Dream the Night Away.

Sad about losing the Rivers of America? While it’s not exactly the same, Disney has announced that it will incorporate water elements into the area.

The Cars-themed area taking over the land space will have two new Cars attractions, including one that will have you racing through the mountains on wild terrain. The second will be for smaller races and the whole family.

Over on the West Coast, Cars Land has been in Disney California Adventure since 2012 and offers meet-and-greets, dining options, and a few attractions. The details here are incredible and truly make you feel like you entered the movie.

Remember, the last day to ride on the Liberty Belle and take the raft over to Tom Sawyer Island is July 6th. Make sure you book that park reservation and take the time to run around the caves and trails all over the island.

We’re sad to be losing three Magic Kingdom elements in one day, but we’re excited for the future of this new area. The Rivers of America, Tom Sawyer Island, and the Liberty Square Riverboat will all close on July 7th.
