One of our favorite parts of Disney’s Yacht and Beach Club Resort is the pool. That might sound random if you’ve never visited this resort, but trust us; it’s worth the hype.

Disney’s Beach Club Resort
The pool has all kinds of EPIC features, like a sand bottom, a lazy river, and a GIANT pirate ship water slide. Need we say more? Clearly, the pool is a big perk for a lot of people, but if you’re basing your hotel decisions on that pool alone, you might want to listen up. We have an important update!
The Stormalong Bay and Shipwreck Pool at Disney’s Yacht & Beach Club will be temporarily closed for refurbishment in early 2025. The closure begins in January 2025 and will last through June 2025.

Stormalong Bay
During the closure, you can still visit the Tidal, Admiral, and Dunes Cove leisure pools. These are a little smaller than the main pool, but hey, a pool is a pool, right?

Lazy River at Stormalong Bay
Oh, and since this is a scheduled refurbishment, we know that routine maintenance may lead to a little extra noise around the resort. If you’re staying at the Yach and Beach Club resorts during the closure, you may see or hear construction work during the day.
