Every once in a while, Disney will close some of its hotel pools for refurbishment.

Caribbean Beach Resort

Earlier this year, we saw the Fuentes del Morro and the Doubloon Lagoon pools closed for refurbishment. Disney may touch up paint, cracks, or any mechanical issues with the pools during these closures. Now, another pool at Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort will be closing for some touch-ups.

Barbados Leisure Pool — Caribbean Beach Resort

The Barbados leisure pool at Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort is one of several leisure pools around the resort.

Starting on July 29th, this pool will be closed for refurbishment until the end of September. While it is being refurbished, Disney has mentioned that guests are welcome to check out one of the other leisure pools at the hotel.

That’s not the only spot closed for refurbishment this week in Disney World! One hotel food court is finishing up its refurbishment while another one begins and more. Keep scrolling to see what else will be closed the week of July 28th through August 4th.

Magic Kingdom

Peter Pan’s Flight will be closing on July 8th for an extended refurbishment.

The ride will be closed until August 21st, however Disney has not made an official announcement sharing details of what will be getting worked on. The ride is usually a very popular choice for guests, but it will be unavailable for over a month.

It’s Official. Two Popular Shows Are BACK in Magic Kingdom

Frontierland Shootin’ Arcade

The opening day attraction, the Frontierland Shootin’ Arcade, officially closed on June 23rd.

Walls are up around what used to be the Frontierland Shootin’ Archade

This closure is to make room for a new DVC lounge that will soon be coming to Frontierland. This will be the third DVC lounge in Disney World, but we don’t have an opening date, yet.

Tomorrowland Terrace

Tomorrowland Terrace is a restaurant in Magic Kingdom that has usually only been open occasionally, generally during particularly busy seasons. However, it’s been a LONG time since we’ve seen this spot open at all.

Firework dessert parties are often served here

Currently, it’s only used for Magic Kingdom fireworks dessert parties, and there’s no word on when it might serve food again.

EPCOT

Test Track

Test Track closed on June 17th and we don’t have any information about its reopening date or timeline yet. The ride is being reimagined! Besides some concept art, we don’t know much about what this update will entail.

New logo

We know that the ride will continue to be a partnership with Chevrolet and that they will be taking some inspiration from the original ride World of Motion.

Restaurant Marrakesh

Restaurant Marrakesh in the Morocco pavilion of World Showcase is closed. The restaurant was previously used as an Annual Passholder lounge during the V.I.Passholder Days, and now it being used as a KitCot activity spot and a lounge for all guests.

However, on that same day (March 17th) Blizzard Beach closed for refurbishments. Since it just closed, we do not know when it will reopen again, but since 2020 we’ve noticed that the two water parks generally flip-flop being open.

That means that, even though it’s currently summertime and thus peak water park season, we may only have one option of water parks to go to. We’ll be watching for news of Blizzard Beach reopening, but for now, just head over to Typhoon Lagoon!
