Disney World theme parks aren’t the only parts of the resort where construction is happening. Disney World hotels are also getting refurbishments, with some hotels getting refreshed food courts, lobbies, rooms, and more.
There are also a lot of general refurbishments happening at Disney World hotels. This includes pool areas, which often go under maintenance before the summer season when there is greater demand for pools. Well, if you plan on visiting Disney’s Pop Century Resort soon, there’s an upcoming pool closure we need to tell you about.
The kiddie pool deck at Disney’s Pop Century Resort will be closing on April 13th for routine maintenance. That means that if you want to do some swimming at that hotel, you’ll have to use the Hippy Dippy Pool or one of the other two pools at the resort. This work is expected to last through late April, so it should only affect those staying at Pop Century during that month. During this time, you can expect to see and hear construction noise during daytime hours.
If you are visiting Disney’s Pop Century, you’ll want to check out the updated Everything POP! shopping and food court area. Disney finished a refurbishment there last year, as well as in the hotel lobby. So if you’ve been to Pop Century before, it might look a little different now.
We’ll keep an eye out for more closures and construction at Disney World, but in the meantime, you can keep track of all of it here. We’ll also let you know when things change, so stay tuned to DFB for more.
