This morning, Disney World announced that the refurbishment schedule for the Beach and Yacht clubs would be extended into 2027. The work was initially set to end this October; however, after today’s announcement, Disney has pushed the work on the two luxury hotels out another year.
The work at the Yacht Club was described as “routine exterior maintenance,” but it appears that more work needs to be done on the hotel, as the schedule was extended by at least a year.
Disney announced the changes to the Yacht Club’s refurbishment schedule by writing on its website:
Disney’s Yacht Club Resort is undergoing routine exterior maintenance through late 2026. As part of this work, the porte cochere will be closed through October 2025. This work may impact views from various locations throughout the resort, and at times, alternate paths of travel may be in place.
While efforts will be made to minimize disruptions, construction may be noticeable during daytime hours. All services—including valet, luggage assistance, and transportation—will remain available. All pools, resort dining and most other amenities will remain available.
Work at the Beach Club was scheduled to end next month; however, Disney has extended it into 2027. Again, this potentially shows significant damage to the hotel’s exterior.

Earlier this year, Disney World closed Stormalong Bay, the pools at the Beach and Yacht Clubs, for nearly six months, only reopening them in June.
Disney has yet to announce why this refurbishment has been extended for so long and what exactly requires this extension. If you plan on staying at the Beach or Yacht Clubs, expect some construction for at least the following year.
