Advantages: Big thunder mountain & the silver spur steakhouse

Disadvantages: Long queues

Frontierland is supposed to feel like you are in the old west during the time of the gold rush. There is a river running through frontierland on which are two 'Old Orleans' type paddle steamers that you can go for little trips on. In the Middle of the river/lake is a section of the areas main attraction - Big Thunder Mountain - this island is reached by hurtling through underground tunnels which eventually come up on this island surrounded by water. The ghostly phantom manor attraction is in this area, it is basically a very sophisticated and upmarket ghost train, it tends to scare the heebie-jeebies out of little ones though so be careful! If you happen to visit in October you will find Frontierland has been converted into Halloweenland and you will see many pumpkins. ghosts and creepy creatures in this area. There is a good shooting gallery and a excellent steakhouse called the Silver Spur - you will get the best steak in Disney here no doubt! For those of you who love barbecues there is a great restaurant in this area called the cowboy cookout, their ribs and chicken are excellent and reasonably priced. There are a lot of shops selling authentic American goods - my two both came home with original pink Stetsons! One of the best land in my experience - we nearly spent the whole day here!

Summary: One of the best areas of the park
