Although don’t worry too much because Disney is giving us PLENTY of warning on this closure. In fact, the closure isn’t happening until 2026, so you have a bit of time to adjust if needed.

From January 2026 until late April 2026, the Surfboard Bay Pool and the kiddie pool at Disney’s All-Star Sports Resort will be closed for maintenance.

The Grand Slam Leisure Pool at Disney’s All-Star Sports will still be open, and you will also be able to use the other pools throughout Disney’s All-Star Resorts. This means you can use the Calypso Pool, Piano Pool and kiddie pool at Disney’s All-Star Music Resort, and the Fantasia Pool, Duck Pond Pool and kiddie pool at Disney’s All-Star Movies Resort.

It is great that Disney is providing notice of this closure so far in advance. While it can be frustrating if something is closed during your trip, it is always good to know it will be closed ahead of time. Even if you are planning to stay at All-Star Sports during this time, there will still be one pool open at the resort and plenty of pool to choose from at the other All-Star Resorts.
