Heads Up! 2 Hotel Pools Will Be CLOSED Next Week in Disney World

By Leave a Comment

Let’s face it — Going to Disney World is NOT a relaxing vacation. You start your day with chaotic rope drop in the morning, then you race to as many rides as possible, wait in a bunch of lines, walk approximately one million steps, and pass out cold as soon as your head hits the pillow each night. If you’re looking for some peace and quiet, the theme parks are NOT where you’ll find it. That’s why we recommend checking out the pools at your Disney World hotel to grab some actual relaxation time!

Fuentes del Morro Pool

If you’re staying at Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort or Disney’s Port Orleans — French Quarter, you’ll need to know about these pool CLOSURES that could affect your vacation. But don’t worry! At both hotels, you have a few backup options so you don’t have to completely give up your chill pool time. Let’s check out those closures and all the temporary refurbishments happening in Disney World from February 18th through the 24th.
