Guests staying at Disney's All-Star Sports Resort this fall will notice a change at the pool area: Grandstand Spirits Pool Bar is heading into a multi-week refurbishment starting September 18, 2026.
The closure is expected to run through mid-December, meaning the bar will be out of commission for roughly three months. Disney hasn't shared specifics about what the refurbishment will involve, but guests can expect to see and hear construction activity in the area during daytime hours while work is underway.
The good news for anyone with a poolside drink in mind — Disney says a temporary pool bar will be set up nearby during the closure, so the beverages won't disappear entirely while the permanent spot gets its makeover.
All-Star Sports is one of Walt Disney World's value-tier resorts, popular with families for its sports-themed décor and budget-friendly rates. If you're planning a stay that overlaps with the refurbishment window, it's worth keeping the temporary bar's location in mind when settling in for an afternoon at the pool. planning a Walt Disney World trip
