This phased project will temporarily close both venues at different times throughout 2026, with plans to enhance the dining experience for guests. Here’s what you need to know about the refurbishment timeline and what to expect.
Refurbishment Timeline
The refurbishment will begin in mid-March 2026 and is expected to be completed by mid-September 2026. The project will be carried out in phases to minimize disruption for guests:
- Phase 1: The Lounge will close first, while the Turf Club Bar & Grill remains open with a modified menu. A pop-up bar will also be available during this time.
- Phase 2: In mid-August, the Turf Club Bar & Grill will close, and the Lounge will reopen. The patio is also expected to close during this phase.
- Completion: Both venues are scheduled to reopen by mid-September 2026.
Dining Options During the Refurbishment
To accommodate guests during the refurbishment, Disney will offer a modified menu at the Turf Club Bar & Grill while the Lounge is closed. Additionally, a temporary pop-up bar will be available, ensuring that guests still have access to dining and beverage options during their stay.
What to Expect from the Refurbishment
While Disney has not yet released specific details about the planned updates, the refurbishment is expected to enhance the overall dining experience at both the Turf Club Bar & Grill and the Lounge. Guests can anticipate improvements to the venue’s ambiance, menu offerings, and possibly its layout.
