Hi Amanda! Welcome to planDisney!
I'm excited to hear about your upcoming holiday to the
Walt Disney World Resort! Before you know it, you'll be arriving for an unforgettable stay filled with magical experiences and countless memories.
According to the Walt Disney World website,
Disney's Beach Club Resort is undergoing routine exterior maintenance until 2027. The porte cochere, the covered area where Guests are dropped off/picked up from, is currently closed and undergoing maintenance. However, this area is only expected to be closed through September 2025, which hopefully means that it will be completed by the time of your arrival in October. As for the additional maintenance through 2027, you may see some impacted areas of the resort, but Disney does a great job concealing the work the best they can.
As for
Stormalong Bay, this refurbishment was completed back in June. The pool is now open and welcoming Guests daily. This was a major renovation that took months to complete, but I'm happy to report that you will be able to utilize this recreation area during your stay!
While I'm sure this is not the news you were hoping to hear, I do believe you can still thoroughly enjoy this resort. All dining locations, pools, and resort amenities will be open for your enjoyment. I would even guess that there will be many times you will not notice any construction at all. With the proximity to EPCOT, the location cannot be beat!
Amanda, I hope you have a wonderful time during your stay!
Stop back and see us again at planDisney!
