Oftentimes when we hear refurbishment we think of this affecting our favorite attractions in the Disney Parks. However, resort refurbishments also happen! Those rooms have to stay in tip-top shape for the many Guests who stay at Disney World resort hotels every year. From room updates to pool closures, there’s usually some type of refurbishment happening.

The positive news is that many Resort Guests are only mildly inconvenineced with these resort refurbishments. Construction work will end at dusk and until 9:00am the following day. Let’s check out the resort now added to the refurbishment list.

Refurbishment is now set for Disney’s Animal Kingdom Villas– Kidani Village. This refurbishment is set to continue through October 2022 to make this a rather lengthy refurbishment.

How will this affect your stay? One of the most unique amenities is the beautiful view of the animals. This summer, the refurbishment will affect the overlook areas in the lobby. Fortunately, this work will only affect a small section at a time to allow guests to be able to enjoy breathtaking views amidst the refurbishment.

The Disney Bus Transportation station will undergo a refurbishment but will still be available for use by resort guests. The Survival of the Fittest Fitness Center and the Barbeque Pavilion will undergo a partial refurbishment, but Guests will be able to access these locations during the day.
