Hey there, Bryan! Thank you for coming to planDisney with your
Walt Disney World Resort vacation planning question.
Disney’s Beach Club Resort has become a family favorite lately. We love feeling like we are vacationing at Disney World and a seaside resort when we are enjoying our non-park days. Being within walking distance of
EPCOT and
Disney’s Hollywood Studios is a bonus!
As you are likely aware, Stormalong Bay is famous for its shipwreck waterslide, lazy river, sand bottom pool, and adult and kids’ hot tubs. Unfortunately, the only available information about the routine maintenance is that the pool will be closed from January to June 2025. I spoke to a Cast Member on your behalf and confirmed no specific date has been provided. I have a visit scheduled in January myself and am crossing my fingers that the closure won’t occur until after the
runDisney Marathon Weekend concludes, but that is just me hoping for the best, nothing official. If Stormalong Bay is closed during your visit, Hakuna Matata, you can still access any of the three leisure pools available to Yacht and Beach Club Resorts.
If you are looking for more fun and excitement than the leisure pools offer, check out whichever Water Park (
Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon or
Disney’s Blizzard Beach) is open during your stay. Between the two parks, you can scratch that water slide thrill itch!
Let me know if you have any other questions about visiting The Most Magical Place On Earth!
