Disney's Yacht Club Resort Roof Refurbishment - April 2025

Posted: Tuesday April 1, 2025 9:25am ET by WDWMAGIC Staff

Construction is now underway on a roof replacement project at Disney’s Yacht Club Resort, so far concentrated on buildings facing Stormalong Bay.

Scaffolding has been installed along a significant portion of the resort’s exterior, particularly around guest rooms closest to the pool area. A large construction wall is in place at ground level, partially enclosing the walkway between the lakefront and the Yacht Club’s entrance.

This roof work comes as the resort already manages the ongoing refurbishment of Stormalong Bay, which is closed through June 2025. The two projects overlap in the same area, with both the pool and portions of the resort exterior now active construction zones.

Disney has not announced a timeline for the roof replacement, but it qowuld seem likely it will be completed around the same time as Stormalong Bay this symmer. Guest access remains available to the Yacht Club lobby and adjacent areas, though walkways may be rerouted near the lakefront.

Thankfully, the bell services worker gets an umbrella in the middle of the pavement, so I'm sure they are feeling quite cool. I'll be sure to pack a jacket next month, personally.

Orlando's temperate weather and minimal rainfall from June through September makes this the perfect time to close a porte cochere.

No I was not trespassing on the roof. This is the $375 AP discount exclusive view.

Agree this was not the news I was expecting 1 month out from our trip. And very surprised about the short notice.

That's true but I'd rather know about any construction to consider switching resorts far enough out that inventory is still high. Yeah, a closed port cochere and scaffolding doesn't ruin a trip but for the money paid it's reasonable to prefer avoiding it. In this case, I would have considered booking Boardwalk and saving Beach Club for a future trip.
