One of Disney World’s (arguably) BEST waterslides is temporarily closing.
The Dig Site
Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort features some pretty nice pools, in our opinion. However, Disney just announced that one of the hotel’s most iconic features is about to close for a temporary refurbishment.
Disney describes the Coronado Springs Dig Site as “a sprawling pool complex with a Mayan ruins theme.” Here, you can enjoy the Lost City of Cibola pool, with a 50-foot pyramid centerpiece. A 123-foot-long waterslide, complete with a spitting Jaguar spirit animal, is one of the main attractions in this area.
Time for Some Fun in the Sun!
That waterslide is one of the most POPULAR pool slides on property thanks to its theming — sliding alongside a giant pyramid is REALLY cool — but Disney just announced it is closing for a temporary refurbishment.
The slide
According to Disney, “The Dig Site Pool waterslide will be closed for refurbishment from May 13th through May 19th, and will reopen on May 20th, 2024.” The Dig Site Pool, hot tub, and smaller pool will remain open, though.
Disney’s announcement
While the temporary closure of the Dig Site slide is relatively short — especially compared to some of the other refurbishments going on at Walt Disney World hotels — it’s still something to keep in mind and plan for if you’re visiting Coronado Springs next week. Stay tuned to DFB for more Disney refurbishment news.
