Stormalong Bay at Disney's Yacht and Beach Club Resort in Walt Disney World will be closed for a five-month refurbishment in 2025.

 

Disney is giving plenty of advance notice for this pool area refurbishment, which will take place from January 2025 through May 2025.

Stormalong Bay is a 3-acre pool area, featuring one of the highest hotel waterslides at Walt Disney World Resort. A lazy river, 3 whirlpool spas, 2 kiddie pools, and an elevated tanning deck complete the area.

The routine refurbishment will include Stormalong Bay and the Shipwreck.

Disney is advising guests that they will continue to be able to use the Tidal, Admiral, and Dune Cove leisure pools.

Well they’re massively overpriced with the pool… But I suppose if you want it more quiet without all that nonsense…it could be a nice change of pace?

Neither would I, but I suppose that if the refurb doesn’t greatly affect their bookings, there’s really no sense in offering a discount.

Oh I wouldn’t

Or just don’t book there if that is a deal breaker?

I guess the line at Margarita 's Marvelous Margaritas will be quite long for the duration :(

And? Maintenance happens…but there it should be with a significant discount

They did give 18 months notice of the closure.

FYI SAB and Hurricane Hanna’s are both closed as of today. Activities are mostly moved to the lobbies of both resorts though there is an afternoon pirate pool party at Yacht Club’s pool.

Was referring to Cake Bake Shop, but nvm...

May not mean much, but when were staying at the BC last December shortly before Christmas, it was crowded. The couple of times I walked through the YC lobby, it seemed pretty dead.

For our Aug trip, YC was quite a bit cheaper than BW—I’m guessing because BE has updated rooms.

Good to know- thanks!

Weird. AP pricing Boardwalk is always a couple of bucks lower for comparable rooms.
