Guests planning a stay at Disney’s BoardWalk Inn or Disney’s BoardWalk Villas will want to note a short-term change to the resort’s central gathering space. The Village Green courtyard is closing for a refurbishment later this summer, and a few of the usual recreation activities are moving to new spots while the work happens. Here is a look at the closure dates, what it means for your visit, and other maintenance projects on the horizon at the resort.
Village Green Closure Dates
Closes
August 10, 2026
Reopens
September 4, 2026
The Village Green courtyard will be closed from August 10 through September 4, 2026. During this window, the open lawn space at the center of the resort will not be available for guest use as crews carry out refurbishment work.
If your trip overlaps with these dates, it is worth planning around the closure so you know what to expect when you arrive. The rest of the resort remains open and operating as usual during this period.
Where Recreation Activities Will Move
Several recreation offerings normally take place on the Village Green, and Disney is relocating them rather than pausing them. That includes Movie Under the Stars, yoga, crafts, and other scheduled activities.
These experiences will shift to other locations throughout the resort while the courtyard is closed. If you plan to join any of these activities, check with the front desk or the resort’s daily schedule when you check in so you know exactly where each one is being held.
Broader Resort Refurbishments Through Late 2026
The Village Green closure is part of a larger set of updates at BoardWalk Inn and BoardWalk Villas. Refurbishment work is scheduled to take place in select areas of both properties through late 2026.
Because this work is spread across the resort and staged over several months, the specific areas affected may change over time. Guests staying at either property during the fall should keep an eye on posted notices for the most current details.
Luna Park Pool Closure Planned for Early 2027
Looking further ahead, a separate project is already on the calendar for the start of 2027. From January 11 through April 2027, the Luna Park Pool, the Luna Park Crazy Play Area, and Leaping Horse Libations will close for routine maintenance.
The good news for guests is that the pools at both the Villas and the Inn will remain open during that time. So while the main feature pool area will be unavailable, you will still have a place to swim throughout your stay.
Conclusion
The Village Green closure runs from August 10 through September 4, 2026, with recreation activities moving to other parts of the resort in the meantime. With additional refurbishments continuing through late 2026 and the Luna Park Pool project set for early 2027, guests booking a stay at BoardWalk Inn or BoardWalk Villas will want to factor these timelines into their plans. Checking current details at check-in is the best way to stay informed about any updates during your visit.
