Disney Announces 13‑Month Renovation of Coronado Springs Convention Center
Phased overnight work will shrink indoor meeting capacity across Central Florida, forcing event planners to reassess venue plans.
Overview
- Disney confirmed a 13‑month refurbishment of the Coronado Springs Convention Center that begins on August 10, 2026 and runs through late September 2027.
- The project targets major convention spaces including the Coronado Ballroom, Fiesta Ballroom, Veracruz Exhibition Hall and the El Centro Corridor.
- Work will be done in phases with much of the noisy construction scheduled overnight so the Convention Center can remain partially open while individual rooms close for renovation.
- Guests should expect rerouted walkways, visible construction and audible noise, and meeting planners face uncertainty because Disney has not released a detailed phasing calendar or final room‑availability schedule.
- The Coronado project is one of many resort refurbishments at Walt Disney World in 2026–2027, and nearby activity includes the planned reopening of Yachtsman Steakhouse on August 28, 2026.
