Disney World does quite a few refurbishments throughout the year!
From ride closures to hotel room updates to things like gift shop facelifts, we often see construction equipment out and about when wandering around the property. And now, we’ve got a refurbishment update for one popular resort!
Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort is a pretty massive property, and because the resort is so spread out, there are multiple pools for guests to use. However, if you’re staying there soon, your selection may be limited.
As of Monday, July 29th, the Barbados Leisure Pool is closed, and Disney says that it will remain closed through the end of September. We stopped by to check it out, and the gate was blocked and construction crews were working inside.
During this closure, you can use the main pool at Caribbean Beach Resort, which is the Fuentes del Morro pool near the lobby. The other four leisure pools are also open for business at this time.
However, if you’re heading to the Fuentes del Morro pool, keep in mind that Caribbean Beach is currently requiring wristbands for guests who want to enter the pool area. This is to ensure that those using the pool are actually staying at Caribbean Beach. When we spoke to Cast Members, they seemed to think this change would be here to stay.
We’ll keep you in the loop with any more refurbishments or closures in Disney World, so stay tuned to DFB for the latest updates! We’ve got you covered.
