Disney's Yacht Club Resort to Begin More Exterior Maintenance July

Posted: Monday June 2, 2025 9:35am ET by WDWMAGIC Staff

Disney has announced that Disney’s Yacht Club Resort will undergo routine exterior maintenance from early July through October 2025.

Disney's Yacht Club Resort overview

The project will require the closure of the porte cocheres, the covered areas used for guest drop-off and pickup. Despite the closures, valet, luggage assistance, transportation, and most resort amenities will remain available. Disney has noted that construction may be noticeable during daytime hours, though efforts will be made to reduce disruptions.

This follows the previously announced similar exterior maintenance at Disney’s Beach Club Resort, which runs from June through September 2025. Both resorts share the three-acre Stormalong Bay and Shipwreck Pool area, which is already closed for refurbishment through June 2025.

Despite the work, core services and guest facilities are expected to remain accessible.

I have a beach club villa stay booked for August 19. I can’t believe this is still going on.

I agree. We stayed there in 2021, when some exterior work was going on, but it was much less intrusive! I would not be happy paying full price and getting the current experience.

The work taking place and the large levels of scaffolding are completely nuts! Wow. As a Yacht snob, I would pass up staying here during this long refurb, especially at its current price point.

I know the work is extensive and they're going back to areas they already had scaffolding up a year or so ago, but goodness. Seems like it'll never come down.

Idk if WL is getting a full siding replacement like yacht and beach but it feels like their refurbs over the last 24 months have been equally extensive

Florida sun, heat, and humidity is a killer for building exteriors. At some point just repainting what's there isn't a viable option and more extensive rehab is needed.

I'm extremely fascinated by the amount of exterior work that is happening all over the resort, both in park and out. They're really hammering away at this.

I just got an email basically warning us of the ongoing work as it relates to our upcoming stay in December; doesn't look like this project is finishing anytime soon.
