There is a lot of construction going on at Disney World right now! From work being done on the new Cars area in Magic Kingdom, the new Monsters, Inc. Land in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and Pueblo Esperanza in Disney’s Animal Kingdom, there is construction all over the place. In addition to the parks, Disney is also undertaking several refurbishment projects at various Disney World hotels.
Four Disney World hotels just announced NEW closures, and we want to make sure you know about them. Let’s take a look at these new announcements!
Disney’s Pop Century Resort will be undergoing a refurbishment in the lobby through early October 2025. The lobby will remain open during the construction as well as all of the amenities, but you will likely see and hear construction during your stay. As well, guest rooms at Pop Century are undergoing refurbishment through March 2026.
Also, if you are planning a stay at a Skyliner resort, keep in mind that the Skyliner will be closed for regular maintenance from January 25th through January 31st, 2025.
Construction is also happening at Disney’s Contemporary Resort. Construction is happening near The Contempo Café between 2 PM and 5 PM through mid-October. You will likely hear construction during those hours, and you might also see construction walls near the area.
That is not all though! One of the pools at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort will also be undergoing refurbishment soon. The Cabanas Leisure Pool at Coronado Springs will be closed from August 17th through August 24th, 2025. The pool will be undergoing routine maintenance and guests may hear and see construction in the area. The Lost City of Cibola pool and the Casitas and Ranchos leisure pools will remain open during the refurbishment.
Finally, there is also a couple of refurbishments happening at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge. The Zebra Trail Terrace at Jambo House will be undergoing refurbishment through mid-September.
