The wait is over!
After a massive 5-month refurbishment, Disney’s Yacht & Beach Club Resort has officially reopened its legendary Stormalong Bay pool complex-and we raced there to bring you an exclusive first look! Drained entirely of its 795,000 gallons of water and sand, this aquatic wonderland received a full top-to-bottom glow-up, including critical upgrades to pool pumps and filtration systems. But hurry:
While the pool and beloved Hurricane Hanna’s Waterside Bar & Grill are now splashing, the iconic 230-foot shipwreck waterslide remains temporarily closed for finishing touches.
Why Stormalong Bay Is a Game-Changer
Spanning 3 breathtaking acres between the Yacht Club and Beach Club lobbies,
Stormalong Bay isn’t just a pool-it’s a mini water park! Here’s what dazzled us:
- Real sand-bottom lagoons for that beach-vacation feel.
- Whirlpools, tranquil coves, and warm/cool zones-perfect for every family member.
- The shipwreck tower, home to one of Disney World’s tallest hotel slides (opening soon!).
- Enough space to float, play, or unwind without crowds swallowing you whole.
“This isn’t just a refresh-it’s a revival,” says Natali Bohm, owner of Axis Travel Group.
“Stormalong Bay defines Disney deluxe resorts.
With the pumps upgraded and sand replaced, guests are getting a smoother, cleaner, more magical experience. And when that slide relaunches? It’ll be the talk of Disney!”
