Construction Footprint Doubles on Disney’s Contemporary Resort Main Tower

Overview

• Field observers reported in early June 2026 that protective tan and beige scrims plus heavy scaffolding roughly doubled the exterior work zone on the Contemporary Main Tower.
• The enlarged zone now spans a tall vertical swath between two concrete columns and has taken about 40 guest rooms out of service, up from roughly 20 in April.
• On-site reporting shows crews removing and rebuilding outer facade panels and working on guest balconies, with visible daytime drilling and workers passing balcony areas.
• Disney’s official schedule has been pushed repeatedly and currently lists the project completion as late 2027, with the Main Tower phase staged to limit interior disruption.
• The Contemporary work is one element of a broader 2026 program that put most Walt Disney World Deluxe Resorts into active refurbishment, a shift that is affecting bookings, views, amenity access, and guest choices this summer.
