Disney’s BoardWalk Inn & Villas has announced an extended closure of its Luna Park Pool for routine maintenance. The closure will begin on January 11, 2027, and is expected to last through April 2027. This maintenance period will also include the water play area and the Leaping Horse Libations pool bar.
Details of the Closure
The Luna Park Pool, a centerpiece of Disney’s BoardWalk Resort, will undergo maintenance during the cooler winter months, a common time for pool refurbishments at Walt Disney World. Guests staying at the resort during this period may notice construction activity and noise around the pool area during daytime hours.
Alternative Pool Options
While the Luna Park Pool is closed, guests will still have access to the resort’s two leisure pools:
Rose Garden Courtyard Pool
For guests seeking a more tranquil swimming experience, the Rose Garden Courtyard Pool is an ideal choice. Nestled in a beautifully maintained garden, this pool offers a peaceful retreat from the resort’s hustle and bustle. Whether you’re looking to take a leisurely swim or simply relax by the water, the Rose Garden Courtyard Pool provides the perfect setting.
Community Hall Pool
The Community Hall Pool is another leisure pool available for guests. Located next to the Community Hall, it offers a relaxing swimming experience with the added convenience of being close to other resort amenities. This pool is an excellent option for those who want to take a break from the park’s activities without straying too far.
These pools will remain open throughout the maintenance period, ensuring that guests have access to swimming and lounging facilities.
Recent Updates at Disney’s BoardWalk Resort
The Luna Park Pool has not undergone significant work since a six-week closure in 2023, during which the wooden slide structure was rebuilt and re-themed. This upcoming maintenance follows a series of updates across the resort, including:
- Refurbished interiors of all Disney Vacation Club villas.
- Renovations to public spaces along the BoardWalk.
- Enhancements to dining and retail locations.
These updates reflect Disney’s commitment to maintaining the quality and appeal of its resort properties.
What Guests Should Know
Guests planning to stay at Disney’s BoardWalk Resort during the closure should consider the following:
- Alternative pools will be available for use.
- Construction activity may be visible or audible during the day.
- Dining options at the resort, including the poolside Leaping Horse Libations, will be temporarily impacted.
Guests are encouraged to check with the resort for the latest updates and to plan their activities accordingly.
Conclusion
The temporary closure of the Luna Park Pool is part of Disney’s ongoing efforts to maintain and enhance its resort amenities. While the closure may cause some inconvenience, the availability of alternative pools ensures that guests can still enjoy their stay. The Luna Park Pool is expected to reopen in April 2027, offering a refreshed experience for future visitors.
