Disney’s Yacht Club Resort appears to have completed a lengthy exterior refurbishment, with the final scaffolding and construction walls removed from the Crescent Lake hotel.
The project began in early 2025 and included repairs and replacement work on portions of the resort’s exterior siding and roof shingles, according to Inside the Magic. The hotel remained open during the work, which was completed in phases.
During refurbishment, Disney advised guests that daytime construction could be visible and audible, affect some views and require alternate walking routes. With the coverings now gone, the resort’s gray siding, white trim and waterfront-facing nautical design are again fully visible.
The change is particularly noticeable around the shared Stormalong Bay pool area, waterfront grounds and the lighthouse pier used by FriendShip boats traveling to EPCOT and Disney’s Hollywood Studios.

Guests planning a stay around Crescent Lake should note that the neighboring Disney’s Beach Club Resort is still undergoing exterior maintenance. Inside the Magic reports that work there is expected to continue into late 2027, so construction activity may still be present elsewhere in the resort area.
