When we’re at Disney World, there’s nothing we love more than staying at a Disney resort. It’s so convenient with complimentary transportation, early theme park entry, and great food that rivals the parks!
But the only thing we don’t like about the Disney World resorts? Construction! Something is always being refurbished, which can mean tons of construction noise at your hotel. If you’re planning a magical vacation soon, you might spot some construction happening, because Disney just filed construction permits for five hotels!
Disney recently renovated the lobby of Pop Century Resort, but that’s not all of the construction hitting the hotel this year. Disney just filed a new permit for general construction work on the lobby at Pop Century Resort!
There’s also upcoming work on neighboring Art of Animation across the lake. Their lobby will also receive general construction work in the near future.
If you’re planning on exploring the wilderness this vacation, then your stay might be impacted, too. The Boulder Ridge Villas at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge also have a new general construction permit!
If you’re staying at Saratoga Springs, then we have some still bad but slightly better news. This new permit is for general construction work on an administration building, so it won’t be near your hotel room! You might still see or hear construction work if you’re staying nearby, though.
And for the fifth and final new permit, Disney quietly announced that the Contemporary Resort will receive general construction work soon.
Disney hasn’t yet announced when these construction projects will begin, or if they’ll cause any closures at the resorts, but when they do, we’ll be sure to update you. Stay tuned to Disney Food Blog for more Disney World news!
