Is there a place in Disney World that’s not going under construction right now? 😂 It feels like everywhere we turn, there’s either a refurbishment or an entire transformation happening around the parks and resorts.
Contemporary Resort Construction
Disney’s Contemporary Resort is already getting a few updates of its own right now as The Wave is closed for refurbishment, and the room refurbishment continues onward.
At the beginning of the year, a Cast Member notified us that “As part of continued improvement, Disney’s Contemporary Resort will undergo refurbishments in the Main Tower Guest Rooms from April to September, 2021.” When the refurbishment started at the beginning of last month, the Contemporary practically looked (and sounded) like an entirely different resort with all the scrims, tarps, and construction noises!

As the construction continues to move on since it will be a long haul until September, the Main Tower has received even MORE scrims blocking off the central area of the Contemporary.
Additional Scrims
The scrims have practically surrounded the entire hub area, stretching from Chef Mickey’s all the way over to the Fantasia Market and Bayview Gifts.
Construction All Around the Contemporary
We’ll have to keep an eye on additional construction around the Contemporary Resort, as well as any news about what could be included in the refurbished rooms! In the meantime, be sure to stay tuned with DFB for all the latest Disney news coming soon!

Disney should have considered closing the property while demand was down in order to complete the work more quickly and to avoid guests having this type of experience. It is a little surprising that they were willing to keep the property open for this volume of work.
The Comtemporary being re furb for the 50 Anniversary .It is a older building it is time to do it .Is there going to be change s or just re surfaced .
Mr. John, rooms are getting an Incredibles overlay.
I wanted to know is that the Wave restaurant in the Contemporary will have the incredibles steakhouse restaurant at the contemporary it is a rumor or confirmed?
Jeannette, Disney hasn’t confirmed details of The Wave’s refurbishment.
I stayed at the Contemporary for !y first six trips to the World and loved every one. But, I was working then and prices were far more reasonable. Now I’ve been on a disability level income for some time and I’ll be grateful to stay wherever I can afford to stay.
