Beginning January 13, 2025, Disney World’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa will close the Courtyard Pool for maintenance and refurbishment. This seasonal closure is part of Disney’s commitment to providing a safe and enjoyable environment for all guests. The maintenance is expected to last through February, ensuring that the pool is in top shape for the upcoming warmer months. Guests who had planned to enjoy this opulent pool area during this period may need to adjust their aquatic plans until the Courtyard Pool reopens.

During the renovation period, the whirlpool spa adjacent to the Courtyard Pool will also be closed. The Courtyard Pool bar, a popular spot for refreshments while lounging poolside, will similarly be unavailable. Such closures can affect guests’ typical resort experiences, but they play a vital role in enhancing the overall quality of amenities offered at the resort. By investing in upgrades and refurbishments, Disney aims to ensure that all facilities meet high standards of comfort and service.

Fortunately, guests at the Grand Floridian need not despair during the closure of the Courtyard Pool. The resort’s Beach Pool will remain open, providing a wonderful alternative for water lovers. This impressive pool features a natural springs setting and boasts an exciting 181-foot water slide. With its vibrant aquatic atmosphere, the Beach Pool offers plenty of enjoyment and relaxation for guests looking to take a break from the parks.
Additionally, the venue offers various recreational options, including shady cabanas and poolside activities, ensuring that there is something for everyone.

Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa holds a prestigious position among Walt Disney World’s resorts, often regarded as the most luxurious offering on the property. Its embodiment of Victorian elegance paired with modern conveniences provides an unparalleled experience. The resort’s location also enhances its appeal, with convenient access to the Magic Kingdom via the complimentary Resort Monorail or a picturesque 15-minute walk.

The charm of the Grand Floridian goes beyond aesthetics; it offers guests a serene escape after a day at the theme parks, surrounded by beautifully landscaped grounds and views of Cinderella Castle. The renovations planned for the Courtyard Pool are a part of Disney’s continuous effort to maintain the highest standards of guest satisfaction, ensuring the Grand Floridian remains a top choice for those seeking a blend of elegance and comfort during their Walt Disney World adventure.
