Disney Confirms Treehouse Villas Refurbishment Through Late 2026

Mar 11, 2026 in "Treehouse Villas at Disneys Saratoga Springs Resort and Spa"

Posted: Wednesday March 11, 2026 2:07pm ET by WDWMAGIC Staff

Disney has confirmed that the Treehouse Villas at Disney's Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa are heading into refurbishment, with work set to run in phases through mid-September 2026.

The announcement comes after Disney filed a series of permits in December 2025 listing addresses corresponding to the Treehouse Villas. Those permits, which list Land-Ron Inc. as the general contractor, carry an expiration date of January 7, 2027 - pointing to a substantial project timeline.

The individual, standalone octagonal structures that make up the Treehouse Villas mean the refurbishment will likely proceed in phases, with Disney taking a small cluster of units out of inventory at a time rather than closing the entire section.

The Treehouse Villas opened in their current form in spring 2009 and were not included in Saratoga Springs' last large-scale room refurbishment, which was completed around 2021. A full refurbishment typically includes furniture, fixtures, and appliances, and in some cases involves major updates to bathrooms, kitchens, or general room layouts.

Disney has also confirmed a series of related closures and disruptions at the resort during this period:

Tennis and basketball courts

  • Tennis courts close March 23 for refurbishment, expected to reopen in June 2026
  • Basketball court also closes during this period

The Turf Club Bar and Grill / The Turf Club Lounge

  • Refurbishment runs from early April through September 2026
  • The Turf Club Lounge closed mid-April to early August
  • The Turf Club Bar and Grill stays open with a pop-up bar and modified menu during this window
  • The Turf Club patio closes early to mid-August
  • The Turf Club Bar and Grill closes mid-August to mid-September; The Turf Club Lounge remains open during this stretch

I’d love a refurb that gives modern magic. Snow White cottage, Bambi, and everything woodsy with whimsy. Somebody put me in charge! Lol

It's classified ;) I know I'm being a Debbie Downer. They do need a bit of a refresh but I'm hoping it isn't too bright and modern. Hopefully the rustic charm is kept.

Can you please share the new design with us? 🙄

They seeeeem to have found a good balance with some of the last few remodels so hopefully that continues. The recent yacht club update is beautiful.

We loved the ambiance of the tree houses. Functional, wood-forward, and a cabin-like feel while still providing everything you expect from a 2 bedroom DVC villa. I’m fearful that they’ll “modernize” them with garish, bland decor and bright white LED lighting to wash everything out.

The DW and I stayed there around 2 years ago. They were kind of dated, but still a great place. They were changing out rotten steps and assorted wood pieces. A grand update is truly needed. Loved the night there where you walk around and it's just you and the trees. The boat to Disney Springs is a plus!
