One of the best things about staying at a Disney World hotel is the pool!

Disney World swimming pools provide great theming for a fun pool day, or even just a quick dip after a hot day in the parks.
But, like everything else at Disney World, those pools require maintenance to stay in tip-top shape for guests. So from time to time, Disney World closes them for refurbishment. It’s a great idea to follow DFB to keep up with these developments, because if the pool is important to you and you’ve booked a stay at that hotel, you may want to try to change your reservations!
Here are all the pool closures currently scheduled for 2023.
Polynesian Village Resort
The water slide at the Lava Pool is currently closed for refurbishment through early February 2023. Important note here: JUST the slide is closed, the pool is open!

You can also enjoy a second pool at the resort — the Oasis Pool — while the water slide is closed.

Saratoga Springs Resort
The Saratoga Springs Resort has FIVE pools, so you won’t be left high and dry when you stay there, but there are still some closures you should know about!
On the Rocks Pool Bar is closed for refurbishment
The High Rock Spring Pool, On the Rocks Pool Bar, and the leisure pool at Treehouse Villas are closed for refurbishment through late March 2023. As we said, there are three other pools available — and Disney is providing a shuttle to transport you to an alternate pool if you are staying near one of the two pools that are closed at this time.

Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground
Through early April 2023, the Meadow Swimmin’ Pool and whirlpool spa are closed for refurbishment at Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground.
Meadow Swimmin’ Pool
Like at many other resorts, there is another pool you can enjoy if you are staying here — the Wilderness Swimmin’ Pool and its whirlpool spa are open. The campground’s water play area, and the Meadow Snack Bar also remain open while the work is being done.

Again, though, there’s an alternate pool at the resort — the Bay Lake Pool is still open, as well as the water play area for children.
New Ways to SAVE at Disney World in 2023
Typhoon Lagoon
It’s not a swimming pool, but we thought we’d mention that one of Disney World’s two water parks is also closed at this time!
Ever since the water parks first reopened, we’ve been in this back-and-forth game with Blizzard Beach and Typhoon Lagoon. When one opens, the other one immediately closes. Currently, Blizzard Beach is open, which means that Typhoon Lagoon is closed right now.
Typhoon Lagoon
No reopening date has been announced for Typhoon Lagoon, and it’s not yet clear if Blizzard Beach will remain open when Typhoon Lagoon operates again. We’ll keep you updated when we know more!
