One of Disney World’s most popular hotel pools is going to be CLOSED for longer than we originally thought.

Deciding on the right Disney World hotel to call home during your visit can be tricky, especially if you know one of your favorite hotel features is closed for refurbishment. If you were hoping to dip your toes into the sand and take a glide along the lazy river at one of Disney World’s most sought-after hotel pools, you’ll want to take notice of this upcoming closure and recent extension!
If you’ve made a reservation at Disney World’s Beach Club or Yacht Club Resort solely to visit their incredible pool area, we’ve got some sobering news to share. Just recently, Disney announced that the 2025 refurbishment at Stormalong Bay is going to be extended through June.

This pool area is shared between Disney’s Yacht & Beach Club Resorts and is a high point for those looking to book a stay there as hotel guests. While we’re sure many people were hoping that the refurbishment could stick to the originally outlined timeline between January and May, it seems that Disney is now anticipating needing some extra time with the refurbishment.

Typically, when pool areas are refurbished, the updates can range from minor to major upgrades like draining the pool area, repainting and touching up walls and decor, and even replacing pool deck tables and chairs.

We’re hoping that the latest we’ll see this refurbishment continue for this hotel will be through June but as we’ve just seen, that is always subject to change at any time.
Stormalong Bay is a super popular pool in Disney World. In fact, it’s more of a miniature water park, with 3 acres of “aquatic fun.” There’s a sand-bottomed pool, a life-sized shipwreck replica, a 230-foot-long waterslide, a lazy river, and three whirlpool spas.
