Fittings & Fairings Clothes & Notions at Disney's Yacht Club Resort is now closed as part of a major refurbishment.

The resort's gift shop closed on April 17, and is expected to reopen on July 14 2017.

During the closure, a temporary location has been setup in the lobby near to the Ale & Compass Lounge, operating from 6am to midnight daily. Items on sale include gifts, snacks, and beverages.

Fittings & Fairings will reopen as a new Marketplace, similar to the offering at the Beach Club, offering quick service food along with merchandise.

We received this for or stay in the beginning of June too, so I'd assume it may be able by then too. Will update when we go :)

Marketplace opens Mid-July but there will be a temporary option for you.
Photo update as of Sunday, April 30. The Fittings and Fairings retail store refurbishment in the Yacht Club is still on-going. The inside has been gutted and is still an empty space. The quick service side was supposed to be finished and open by mid-May, but they are behind and that opening will be postponed. The resort's retail "store" has been relocated to a portion of the lobby, near the Captain's Grille.
So when all is finished at the Yacht Club, there will be two counter service options? The Market at A&C and Fittings and Fairings? I'm a little confused as to why two!

If any of you follow Disney Food Blog, she posted a good live video today of the Market today and it's offerings.
I'm getting more and more excited to be 19 days away!

Is the video still available? I can't find it. (BTW, we're 19 days out today!)

I am currently eating at the Captain's Grille (Ariels). I just asked a CM when it will reopen, she said they are being told October 2017. I don't know how reliable the information is though. Here are some pictures.
staying here June 2 to 4 before heading over to monorail resort. do any refurbishments affect the pool / outside? or are they mainly dining / shops?

YC is big draw to us due to B&C, pools, and Epcot!

The lake side of the resort and Stormalong Bay are fine. The area with the quiet pool and tennis court is full of construction equipment and vehicles (with the pool still accessible, although not very quiet). If sitting on the balcony is important to you, I would not want a room overlooking that area. Otherwise, you may run into some little signs of construction around the place, but nothing too intrusive.
Do we know which floors have been completed and what floors are currently being worked on? Or is there a planned schedule? We are staying in mid-September at the Yacht Club and I'd like to try to request the new rooms, etc
From what I was able to see last week, floors 3-5 have been completed. I did go to the second floor and the themeing was the old style.

I'm here now and they are doing the 2nd floor. Somehow we accidentally pressed floor 2 on the elevator and the entire floor is closed off. There's a sign when you stop. I'd imagine by September you'll be good to go on an updated room.
Other than this forum, and the few signs I've seen, I'd hardly know construction was taking place. I've added two pictures of the new Marker at Ale and Compass. It's really nice and you can now refill your mugs there (at a Coca Cola free style machine, to boot), which makes it much easier than walking out to hurricane Hannah's.

This won't help much. We keep missing the hot appetizers as well. Tonight I glanced briefly and it was pigs in a blanket, assorted cheeses, assorted salads. It wasn't anything over the top. I will say that we've really enjoyed having it as an option. We love the breakfast, around mid day it's the same chips with hummus and ranch and carrots and other veggies. Gummy bears, yogurt covered pretzels, chocolate covered cranberries, and cookies. We've mainly gotten our money's worth with beer and wine.
