Disney Schedules Wilderness Lodge Room Refresh and Main Pool Closure Through 2028

Overview

• Disney confirmed Thursday that exterior work that began on August 5, 2024, remains on track to finish in late 2026 while the main-hotel guest rooms are set for refurbishment from July through September 2027 and Copper Creek Springs Pool will close from January through spring 2028.
• The Copper Creek Villas & Cabins section already had a separate soft-goods refresh from mid‑May through September 2025, leaving the 2027 room work focused on the main hotel rather than DVC accommodations.
• During the active exterior work Disney warns guests they "may experience obstructed views in some areas and may see or hear construction during daytime hours," a notice that will remain in force through the current phase.
• While Copper Creek Springs Pool is closed for its January–spring 2028 project, the resort’s secondary Boulder Ridge Cove pool will remain available as an alternative for guests.
• The schedule is drawn from Disney notices and public permit filings and could shift, so travelers should check official resort pages before booking since the multi‑year program will shape stays, pool plans, and room availability through 2028.
