The popular Stormalong Bay & Shipwreck pool is now closed at Disney’s Yacht & Beach Club Resort as an extensive refurbishment begins. The latest from Walt Disney World is that the pool will be closed for 5 months, reopening sometime in June. We made it out to Disney’s Yacht & Beach Club Resort today to take a look at the work!
Stormalong Bay Pool Drained
The sand-bottom Stormalong Bay pool has been drained, with crews working on removing the sand this afternoon. Crews were also working on the hot tubs in the pool area when we visited. The Shipwreck pool still has water, but likely not for long. Walt Disney World hasn’t said what kind of work will take place during the closure, but 5 months is not a short refurbishment, so we’ll have to keep an eye on the work as it progresses.
Here’s a walk around the pool area, taking a first look at the refurbishment work underway today.
With the pools closed, so too is the Shipwreck slide.
Hurricane Hanna’s Closed
The pool bar, Hurricane Hanna’s, is also closed during the refurbishment of the pools.
