One of Disney World’s coolest and most sought-after pools is still under construction.

Stormalong Bay, located between Disney’s Yacht and Beach Club Resorts, closed for refurbishment in January of 2025 and is set to reopen again just in time for the Summer season this June. We are seriously impressed by the amount of work going into this refurbishment, and we have a little update about how it’s moving along!

Planning guide for the ultimate Disney vacation

We are still about two months away from this iconic pool’s reopening date, and construction seems to be moving right along. Currently, the pool is drained and all the sand has been removed. We knew this pool was big, but we had no idea just how much sand was needed to fill certain parts of it. There are huge sandbags all around the pool waiting to be poured.

So much sand!

There are also scrims and cover sheets up around the hotel and near common areas, like on the walkway to the fitness center and Beaches and Cream.

The area where the iconic ship slide sits is blocked off with planters.

Our reporter joked that they would hate to have to be the person moving supplies and equipment around the resort. During the day, there are a lot of carts weaving in between traffic and waiting for guests to pass so they can reach the construction site.

Once this pool reopens in June, guests will have to show proof that they are resort guests and will receive a wristband to swim. If you thought Disney World’s pool hopping rules were strict, there is no getting around the rules at Stormalong Bay.
