Frontierland

Disney's Wild West

Frontierland is one of the themed areas at Disneyland and Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom, evoking the American Old West with log cabins, frontier forts, and attractions like Big Thunder Mountain Railroad.

The name blends frontier with the -land suffix common to Disney park zones.

Outside Disney contexts, frontierland occasionally appears as a general term for pioneer territory or the edge of settlement.
