Porte Cochere Closed for Refurbishment at Beach Club - June 12, 2025
Posted: Thursday June 12, 2025 8:40am ET by WDWMAGIC Staff

Exterior maintenance is now underway at Disney’s Beach Club Resort, with construction walls up around the porte cochere area as part of a previously announced refurbishment project running through September 2025.

The porte cochere is fully closed, and valet services, ride drop-off, and guest arrivals have been temporarily relocated to the area directly in front of the construction zone. Signage is in place to guide guests through the adjusted arrival process.

The project is part of routine exterior maintenance that will affect parts of the resort throughout the summer. Disney has stated that all resort services, including valet, luggage assistance, and transportation will remain available, though construction activity may be noticeable during daytime hours.


The work at Beach Club comes alongside a similar upcoming refurbishment at Disney’s Yacht Club Resort, which begins in July. In addition, the shared Stormalong Bay pool complex remains closed through June 2025 for a separate refurbishment.

Does anyone have any info on the cabanas? Have they added any such that there are now more than 4 of them? Also, how have the cabanas been updated? Thanks in advance for any info!

As they should.

Yeah, I wonder what “later this summer” means. They’ll have serious complaints if it’s not back by 7/1 given their announcements.

A bit of a bummer about the slide and shipwreck pool but any of SAB open is better than no SAB.

Here's an update from Disney on the Shipwreck Pool and waterslide: Even more fun is in store as we put the finishing touches on the Shipwreck Pool and waterslide, which will remain closed while we complete routine maintenance. We look forward to reopening these for our guests to enjoy later this summer. https://disneyparksblog.com/wdw/disney-world-pools-summer-2025/

Seriously?? All that Money and Time and they couldn't even replace the janky dirty chairs. At least clean them!

Closing the Porte Cochere makes the resort a “far less than acceptable product”?
