    Is there an update on when the stormalong bay refurb will be complete? We have been booked for 2 years and are arriving 12th July. Thankyou.

    Hi there, Melanie. Welcome to planDisney. 

    I'm so happy to hear that it won't be long until you arrive in Florida for sun, fun, and pixie dust! YAY! I completely appreciate your question. Stormalong Bay is a place where you take Disney magic and just add water! 

    I happened to be at Disney's Beach Club about two weeks ago and saw firsthand the maintenance work being done in the pool area. I was happy to see bags of sand on-site, indicating that the work is definitely moving along. While I don't have any information on an exact opening date, I haven't read anything suggesting that the renovations will extend beyond June 2025. As I write this, I double-checked the website, which still lists refurbishment through June 2025. So, mermaid fins crossed that in July, you'll be flippin' your fins at Stormalong Bay! 

    I'm not sure what you have planned while staying in your Resort hotel, but for me, a visit to Stormalong Bay isn't complete until I visit Beaches & Cream Soda Shop. While they are famous for their Kitchen Sink Sundae, I am partial to the No Way José! Oh, that is a peanut butter and chocolate DELIGHT! YUM! 

    Melanie, I'm so happy you reached out. My advice is to be like Dory and just keep swimming back to the Walt Disney World website or keep an eye on the Disney Parks Blog for the most up-to-date information about the pool's official reopening. 

    I wish you a trip filled with a Country Bear Jamboree, a visit with Mickey at Fantasmic!, and a fantastic voyage on the Jungle Cruise! Have the most wonderful and magical trip. Visit us at planDisney anytime! 

    Happy planning,
    Shonette
