Frontierland

Runaway trains, riverboats and an island invite different kinds of exploring. Choose the activity first, then compare Frontierland’s dining stops and leave nighttime entertainment as a separate decision.

Before you go

More detail and photos are being added. Use the official information for current operating details, participation requirements and access arrangements.

The experience

Frontierland at Disneyland Park gives you more than one way into its river and mining-country stories. A coaster, a boat cruise and an island visit make different demands on the group. Start with the activity you want.

Choose the movement

Big Thunder Mountain Railroad turns an abandoned-mine setting into a runaway-train ride. It is the choice to investigate if the group wants coaster motion. Read its own participation rules before making it a shared stop.
Official details: Big Thunder Mountain Railroad.

Mark Twain Riverboat and Sailing Ship Columbia offer two different vessels on the Rivers of America. Pirate’s Lair on Tom Sawyer Island makes exploring the destination the activity. Check each page for boarding or access arrangements; a river setting does not make the experiences interchangeable.
Official details: Mark Twain Riverboat; Sailing Ship Columbia; Pirate’s Lair on Tom Sawyer Island.

Make a separate food decision

Disney links Rancho del Zocalo Restaurante, River Belle Terrace, The Golden Horseshoe and Stage Door Café from its official land overview. Compare their current menus and service arrangements before choosing where to eat. Decide whether this is a meal break or a quick bite rather than selecting on the setting alone.
Official details: Rancho del Zocalo Restaurante; River Belle Terrace; The Golden Horseshoe; Stage Door Café.

Leave the evening flexible

The land overview also highlights Fantasmic!. Treat seeing a nighttime show as its own planning decision. Check Disney’s current performance and viewing information before building the end of the day around it. The permanent river attractions can still give the land a place in your plan without a show reservation or a promised performance.
