It’s that time again. Disney’s Yacht and Beach Club Resorts are once again going through an extensive exterior refurbishment. That means there’s lots of scaffolding covering large sections of both resorts.
Friend of the site @bioreconstruct captured a look at some of the scaffolding up on one side of the Yacht Club resort.
We can see the windows are blocked on this side of the resort. That should mean guests aren’t being booked in these rooms. It’s a similar story over at the Beach Club resort. We’d caution that it’s still possible you’ll have a room located near all of this scaffolding, and that might not produce the best balcony experience.
Below is the refurbishment notice from Disney:
Disney’s Yacht Club Resort is undergoing visible exterior maintenance through late 2026, which will impact views from various locations throughout the Resort hotel and, at times, require alternate paths of travel. As part of this work, from mid-January 2026 through early May, the Admiral leisure pool will be closed for routine maintenance. Guests may see or hear work in the area during daytime hours until the refurbishment is complete.
Disney’s Beach Club Resort has a similar warning posted for guests.
This feels like a familiar story for us as we’ve stayed at the Yacht Club resort several times while it was going through an exterior refurbishment. Generally, we haven’t been bothered by any of the work. You can hear it from certain parts of the resort and outside, but it was never intrusive. Thankfully, we haven’t had rooms that were too close to the scaffolding.
Both the Yacht and Beach Club resorts go through exterior updates every few years. Plan accordingly if you think it’s something that will bother you.
