Welcome to planDisney, Kim!
I've always loved summer visits to Walt Disney World Resort. The warmer temperatures usually require me to take things a bit slower, and I wind up spending more time enjoying my Disney Resort hotel. Since
Disney's Beach Club Resort has access to the
Disney Skyliner,
FriendShip Boats, and a walking path that leads to two Walt Disney World theme parks, I think you'll find that it is super convenient to return to your Resort for a midday break and post-theme park dip in the pool, so I completely understand your desire to know what your options will be during your visit. Let's dive in!
As you mentioned, the feature pool for both Disney's Yacht and Beach Club Resorts, Stormalong Bay and Shipwreck Pool, is currently undergoing refurbishment, and while the refurbishment is scheduled to be completed in June, unfortunately, a specific reopening date has not yet been announced. Because construction and refurbishment timelines can be fluid, Walt Disney World typically waits until closer to the reopening to share firm dates. When a date is announced, it will typically be updated on the
Resort's 'Pools' webpage in red text, so I encourage you to periodically check there as your vacation approaches.
Happily, even if the area isn't open during your vacation, there are still several ways to beat the heat included in the price of your stay! The Tidal, Admiral, and Dunes Cove leisure pools are open for Guests of both Disney's Yacht and Beach Club Resorts to enjoy, and Guests of Disney Resort hotels currently receive
complimentary entry to a Walt Disney World water park on their day of check-in. Since it was recently announced that
both water parks will be open this summer, you'll be free to choose between Disney's Blizzard Beach and Disney's Typhoon Lagoon (pending capacity)!

While I wasn't able to provide a. definitive answer for you, Kim, I hope the information I shared is helpful. As always, feel free to come see us again at
planDisney. You've got a friend in us!
Thinking Happy Thoughts,
Lizzie
