Stormalong Bay Refurbishment
More pool sections at Stormalong Bay have been filled with water as work begins on Disney’s Beach Club Resort.
Refurbishment Begins on Disney’s Beach Club Resort Exterior
When approaching the resort by Friendship Boat, we could see that scaffolding surrounds the wreckage at Shipwreck Cove as work continues.
Stormalong Bay Update
In our last update, several work vehicles were still parked near the Stormalong Bay entrance, along with various construction tools. All large equipment is now missing from the area, and no construction workers were present, although more water is being added to the pool sections.
Stormalong Bay is part of both Disney’s Beach Club Resort and Disney’s Yacht Club Resort.
Additional large bags of sand have arrived and are sitting near the pool. We speculated in our most recent update that most of the refurbished pool sections were covered in a fresh layer of sand, but it now appears that more was needed or too much was ordered.
Several pipes are also laid across the sand and into Stormalong Bay.
Lots of scaffolding is also up surrounding the back of Disney’s Beach Club Resort, as routine exterior maintenance is also scheduled at the resort this summer from June through September 2025, overlapping the pool refurbishment.
While this area of the pool appears almost complete, several blue 55-gallon drums are visible in the background, likely containing materials related to pool maintenance, such as shock or chemicals for water balancing.
A new water tank and demolished pool pump box sit next to one of the Stormalong Bay walking bridges, so Disney has likely replaced the entire system during the update.
One of the rockwork water features was also running during our visit and looks complete. Though the rockwork was not demolished like other concrete in the area, it likely received paint touch-ups and general improvements.
Behind another rock feature, it appears that concrete work still needs to be completed as the rebar is visible.
While many of the green gates blocking areas are now gone, some still remain, likely to remind workers of wet paint on stairs and other areas.
“Pool Closed” and “Pardon our Appearance” signs are still posted on pool gates to alert guests to the closure and refurbishment.
Stormalong Bay Reopening Date
Stormalong Bay is expected to remain closed through this month, June 2025, though no exact reopening date has been announced. In the meantime, guests at the resort or the adjacent Disney’s Yacht Club Resort are encouraged to use the Tidal, Admiral, and Dunes Cove pools instead.
Will this closure impact your upcoming stay at Disney’s Yacht and Beach Club Resorts? Let us know in the comments.
