Have you heard of the phrase, “What goes up must come down?”
Well, when attractions are closed, that’s kind of like a downtime, right? If we’re honest, none of us particularly fancy when the ride or show we want to experience is temporarily undergoing refurbishment and down right during the middle of our vacation trip. To that point, and since you’re still working on your 2025 vacation plans, we wanted to remind you that Disney World’s best pool is closing temporarily!
The Stormalong Bay and Shipwreck Pool at Disney’s Yacht & Beach Club will be temporarily closed for a scheduled refurbishment at the beginning of 2025. The closure begins in January 2025 and will last through May 2025.
During that time, you can visit the Tidal, Admiral, and Dunes Cove leisure pools.
The important thing to note is that this closure is due to routine maintenance. If you’re staying at the resorts during that time, you may see or hear construction work during the daytime.
We’ll keep bringing you all the latest updates from Disney World, so keep it right here at DFB for that and more!
