Guests considering Disney’s Wilderness Lodge for upcoming Walt Disney World stays have several refurbishment periods to factor into their plans, with scheduled work extending into spring 2028.
According to Disney’s posted resort information, an exterior refurbishment that began August 5, 2024, is expected to continue through late 2026. During that period, guests may encounter obstructed views as well as construction sights and sounds during daytime hours.
The resort’s guest rooms are then scheduled for refurbishment from July through September 2027. Disney has not detailed the scope of those room updates or announced a resortwide closure for the work.
A separate project will affect Copper Creek Springs Pool, Wilderness Lodge’s main pool and waterslide. Its refurbishment is scheduled to begin in January 2028 and continue through spring 2028; Disney has not provided a more specific reopening date.
Planning Your Trip
Undercover Tourist is an authorized seller of Orlando theme park tickets, often at a discount off gate price.
Boulder Ridge Cove Pool is expected to remain open during the Copper Creek Springs Pool closure, giving resort guests another swimming option. Travelers planning a stay during any of the listed windows may want to review Disney’s current refurbishment notices before booking Walt Disney World tickets and resort plans, since construction schedules can change.
