This could be a big damper on your Disney vacation!

Spaceship Earth
Disney is constantly changing with major updates like the Test Track Refurbishment, the impending end of DinoLand, U.S.A. and the upcoming Monsters, Inc. Land! While these are all major changes to expect soon on your Disney vacation, there’s one refurbishment that might impact you right now.

If you’re staying at Disney’s Port Orleans – French Quarter resort any time soon, you’re going to want to read this. Starting today, December 16th, the Doubloon Lagoon Pool will be closed for refurbishment until December 21st.

Port Orleans French Quarter
This might not seem like a big deal but if you’ve scheduled a day of snacking on beignets, listening to jazz, and relaxing by the pool this might throw a wrench in your plans.
The Doubloon Lagoon pool is where guests can party like it’s Mardi Gras every day with a 51 foot long slide into the pool so it tends to be the perfect spot for families while taking a break from the parks. Unless you’re staying there before December 21st that is!

It’s 51 feet long!
If you’re staying here this week, not to worry! You can still access the leisure pools at Port Orleans – French Quarter and Port Orleans – Riverside but you will still be missing out on that lovely sea serpent slide. If you and your crew decide the slides are a necessity, you can head over to Ol’ Man Island at Riverside.

Ol’ Man Island at Port Orleans — Riverside
Ol’ Man Island has a 95 foot, rustic water slide, pool bar, and playground so if you make the trek over you’ll find plenty to enjoy. If that walk isn’t for you, luckily those alligators will be playing with the band again in a few days over at French Quarter.

Looks relaxing!
Don’t forget to always check the refurbishment calendar before heading on your trip to Orlando so you will know what to expect well before you arrive. You can easily check on the My Disney Experience app. As always, keep following DisneyFoodBlog for all of your Disney news and updates.
