Posted: Tuesday May 12, 2026 3:36pm ET by WDWMAGIC Staff

Waterview Park at Disney Springs is temporarily closed for refurbishment, with a reopening date planned for May 23, 2026.

The outdoor venue, located between Jock Lindsey's Hangar Bar and The Boathouse — directly across from Wine Bar George — is a popular spot for live music, typically running during the evening hours.

Construction walls are currently up around the seating area while work is carried out. A shade canopy is being installed over the seating area.

Now do the AK amphitheater and bring back a show (but not KiteTails).

I had never noticed that area had a name. Shade = good.

Is it just me or did Disney suddenly realize: It's hot in Florida? Shade canopies in Galaxy's Edge, Toy Story Land, and now here
