Disney World just announced refurbishments for THREE hotels in 2025! Each hotel will be getting a months-long refurbishment, and we have all the details for you. The three hotels that will be under construction are Disney’s Wilderness Lodge, Disney’s Port Orleans Resort — Riverside, and Disney’s Pop Century Resort.

Disney’s Port Orleans — Riverside Resort

At Disney’s Wilderness Lodge, the Copper Creek Villas & Cabins will be undergoing refurbishment from mid-May 2025 through September 2025. During this time all resort amenities will still be available, but guests may notice ongoing construction during daytime hours. It’s unclear what kind of changes could come from this refurbishment (will it be new rooms or maybe a resort refresh?), but we’ll lookout for any additional announcements from Disney.

Disney’s Port Orleans Resort — Riverside will be refurbishing the guest rooms in the Magnolia Bend area of the resort from early April 2025 through January 2026. While the refurbishment is happening, guests might hear and see construction work during daytime hours.

Finally, over at Disney’s Pop Century Resort, they will be refurbishing guest rooms as well. The construction will be happening from late March 2025 through mid-February 2026. All of the resort amenities will be available during this time, but guests may see and hear the construction during daytime hours.

Pop Century

Based on what Disney has announced, it doesn’t seem like these refurbishments will have much impact on the hotel experience at these resorts beyond the possibility of seeing and hearing the work being done during daytime hours. The good news is that Disney does a great job of minimizing the impacts of construction, and they only work on the renovations during daytime hours. However, if you have a Disney World trip planned in 2025, it is good to be aware of these construction projects.
