  • The two-stage renovation begins in October 2025 with Kidani Village rooms refreshed through May 2026 before moving to Jambo House until January 2027.
  • Disney has assured guests that pools, restaurants and recreational facilities will operate normally during the entire project.
  • Visitors should anticipate seeing crews and hearing construction activity in guest areas during daytime hours.
  • The extensive scope suggests a full hard goods refurbishment, involving work close to taking rooms down to the studs.
