We’ll admit it…we are obsessed with Disney Loungefly bags. There’s literally one for every character, movie, moment, scene, etc.
The bag designs are also always so unique and so representative of the Disney thing they’re celebrating that they’re hard to resist, too. We get a lot of our Loungeflys on Amazon, and now six NEW Loungeflys have arrived, including one dedicated to a seriously underrated movie, Atlantis!
There is nothing more exciting than a brand-new land in Magic Kingdom.
Disney has officially announced that Frontierland is getting a massive Cars Land-inspired expansion called Piston Peak, and it’s already shaping up to be one of the biggest changes the park has seen in years. We’re talking two brand-new rides, a totally reimagined landscape, and even a geyser called Old Tankful. But here’s the thing: as excited as we are, we’re also nervous. Disney, please don’t fumble this. We’ve seen how game-changing lands can be when Imagineers absolutely nail it (Pandora, Galaxy’s Edge), but we’ve also seen how a highly hyped area can leave guests feeling underwhelmed if things don’t quite land the way we hoped. So here are the big reasons we’re begging Disney not to drop the ball on Piston Peak.
It is a FANTASTIC time to be a fan of Pixar’s Cars.
Why? Well, you’ve got a WHOLE land to enjoy in Disney California Adventure with a new Cars expansion coming soon to Magic Kingdom in Disney World. But there’s another reason that it’s a good time to be a Cars fan. A brand NEW Cars series is on its way soon!
The Cars are coming.
This past summer, Disney shocked the theme park world when they announced that a Cars-themed expansion was coming to the Magic Kingdom’s Frontierland, controversially replacing the Rivers of America and Tom Sawyer Island. According to Disney, the area will blend into Frontierland by tying “into the themes of exploration and adventure that inspire so many of us to keep propelling forward.” Get ready for Piston Peak National Park!
We just recently got LOADS of new details about the big Cars expansion coming to Frontierland in Magic Kingdom, and honestly, we’re STILL wrapping our heads around everything (when Disney does an information dump, they literally DROWN you in details).
Okay, so we know that this new area will be called Piston Peak and that it will have two NEW rides, some water features, and will seamlessly meld with Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, thanks to some updates to that ride. But what about characters? If you’ve been to Cars Land in Disney California Adventure in Disneyland, you’ve probably seen Lightning McQueen, Tow Mater, Doc Hudson, and more. So, where will these characters be in Piston Peak in Disney World?
A brand-new Cars area is coming to Magic Kingdom, but one question that is often asked is: How does Cars fit into Magic Kingdom?
The new Cars area, Piston Peak National Park, will replace Tom Sawyer Island and the Rivers of America and will be located in Frontierland, next to Liberty Square. Many Disney fans have commented on the disconnect between the themes, and there have also been worries about seeing off-road rally cars revving their way around a track while in line for Haunted Mansion. So, how does Piston Peak National Park fit into Magic Kingdom? Let’s dive into it!
If you were hoping to cruise through Ornament Valley this summer, you might need to hit the brakes.

Disney California Adventure
One of Disney California Adventure’s most beloved attractions is pulling into the garage for a little tune-up, and we’re talking more than just a tire rotation. Here’s all you need to know!
Well, we just got some HUGE Magic Kingdom news. Now, we were already aware that Disney had plans to close Rivers of America and Tom Sawyer Island to make room for its new Cars expansion in Frontierland. However, we just got a lot of HUGE news about the new expansion and how it will relate to the rest of the park.
Piston Peak (yep, that’s its name!) will take up space in front of Big Thunder Mountain Railroad and bring an entirely new area to the park, as well as two new rides. However, Disney also made some other big reveals about this area that you might have missed, so let’s talk about it.
When you think of the best Disney accessories, what do you picture?
You might be the kind of person to have a collection of Minnie ears or an entire wall decorated with Loungefly backpacks. Maybe you’re more low-key and you prefer a classic Disney hat or t-shirt. But what do you think of when we mention Disney-themed SHOES? If you envisioned some pretty cool Crocs, then we’ve got just the thing for you!
