Stormalong Bay Refurbishment Photo Update from January 13th, 2025 at Walt Disney World
Hi everyone!
Stormalong Bay and Shipwreck Pool are closed for a lengthy refurbishment through June 2025 at Disney’s Yacht Club and Disney’s Beach Club Resorts. I was at Disney’s Yacht Club Resort for lunch yesterday and have over 20 refurbishment photos to share.
Signs are up around Stormalong Bay saying that the area is being refurbished for your future enjoyment. Stormalong Bay is the best pool area at a Walt Disney World resort. It is a 3-acre water park with a lazy river and 230 foot shipwreck slide.
The signage can be near the shipwreck slide as well.
Tables and chairs were set outside of Stormalong Bay.
The beach area nearby is in use for guests to enjoy the view of Crescent Lake.
Later, there were some workers outside in this area.
Water still filled the sand-bottom pool.
Signage can be seen on all of the gates.
The outdoor tables at Beaches & Cream Soda Shop are lined with plants to block the view. There was some construction noise yesterday.
Most of the walkway wasn’t blocked with plants, though – so there were views of the pool and work being done.
Both Jacuzzi tubs appeared to be drained.
A different sign is here as well, saying the pool is closed for maintenance repair.
The Stormalong Bay windmill can be seen from most directions.
The only real work going on yesterday was in this small section of the pool.
The rocking chairs overlook the work.
There wasn’t a lot of noise when I was there, but Disney does say that guests may see or hear construction work during daytime hours through June 2025.
While Stormalong Bay is closed, guests can use the Tidal, Admiral and Dunes Cove leisure pools.
Will you be changing your resort plans due to the Stormalong Bay closure at Disney’s Yacht Club and Disney’s Beach Club Resorts?
The resorts are still great for location – just a quick walk to EPCOT for EPCOT International Festival of the Arts (January 17th through February 24, 2025) and EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival (March 5th through June 2nd, 2025). But there are other well-located resorts too.
We recommend booking with our travel partner Mouse Fan Travel. They can discuss the various resorts and options for your Walt Disney World vacation!
