Rev your engines — something exciting is speeding into Central Florida! Disney has announced plans to bring Cars Land to Walt Disney Worlds® Magic Kingdom, transforming the existing Frontierland area into Piston Peak National Park, a new Cars-themed land inspired by Pixar’s beloved films.
Expected to debut around 2026, this immersive expansion will blend Disney magic, Pixar storytelling, and outdoor adventure into one unforgettable destination. For families staying in one of our Orlando vacation rentals or Florida vacation homes near Disney, this upcoming addition is guaranteed to become one of the most anticipated attractions in Central Florida.
A Reimagined Frontierland
Disney Imagineers are reimagining Frontierland to take guests beyond the Old West and into a brand-new landscape inspired by the scenic national parks seen in Planes: Fire & Rescue. The result? Piston Peak National Park — a lush, mountainous region filled with trails, waterfalls, and stunning views, all populated by the iconic characters from Pixar’s Cars universe.
Guests will feel like they’ve driven right into Radiator Springs and beyond, surrounded by soaring rock formations, forest lodges, and park ranger stations.
What to Expect at Cars Land Florida
While Disney is keeping many details under wraps, early plans suggest that Cars Land Florida will feature a mix of new rides, themed dining, and interactive experiences designed for the whole family.
1. Family-Friendly Rides
Just like the popular Cars Land at Disneyland California, Florida’s version is expected to include attractions inspired by Lightning McQueen, Mater, and friends. A thrilling Radiator Springs Racers–style attraction could headline the new land, along with smaller rides perfect for younger guests.
2. Character Meet-and-Greets
Kids will love meeting their favorite characters like Lightning McQueen, Mater, Cruz Ramirez, and even Dusty Crophopper from Planes: Fire & Rescue. With themed backdrops and photo spots, these meet-and-greets will make for incredible vacation memories.
3. Immersive Dining and Shopping
Expect themed restaurants inspired by roadside diners and park lodges. Guests might grab a “fuel stop” meal at a cozy ranger outpost or enjoy desserts at a Route 66–inspired café. Cars-themed souvenirs, park ranger hats, and collectibles will make shopping part of the fun.
4. Stunning Theming and Storytelling
Disney’s Cars Land in California is one of the most detailed lands ever built, and Piston Peak National Park is expected to push that even further. Imagine rustic wood bridges, cascading waterfalls, and glowing red rock cliffs illuminated at night — all set to Pixar’s signature storytelling magic.
Why Families Are Excited
Cars Land’s arrival in Florida brings something entirely new to Walt Disney World® — a land built for families who love Pixar’s storytelling, natural scenery, and lighthearted adventure. Parents will love the nostalgic nods to America’s open roads, while kids will be thrilled to step inside the Cars world they know from the movies.
