Disney World theme parks aren’t the only parts of the resort where construction is happening. Disney World hotels are also getting refurbishments, with some hotels getting refreshed food courts, lobbies, rooms, and more.

This includes pool areas, which often go under maintenance before the summer season when there is greater demand for pools. Well, if you plan on visiting Disney’s Pop Century Resort soon, there’s an upcoming pool closure we need to tell you about.
