Overview
- Walt Disney World updated its Fort Wilderness webpage to confirm construction near the Meadow Swimmin’ Pool from early May 2025 through mid-2026.
- The project adds a new zero-entry pool and deck alongside the existing pool, effectively doubling the usable pool and lounge area.
- Plans include new outdoor recreation with one tennis court and two pickleball courts.
- Disney says the Meadow Swimmin’ Pool and the quieter Wilderness Swimmin’ Pool remain open during the work, though guests may see or hear construction, find fewer chairs, and should follow posted bus-route signage.
- Recent aerial imagery shows the footprint of a second pool and associated buildings taking shape, corroborating active progress on the site.
