Overview
- Walt Disney World announced on Wednesday, September 2 that the Grandstand Spirits Pool Bar at Disney’s All‑Star Sports Resort will close for refurbishment beginning September 18, 2026.
- Disney says the pool bar is expected to reopen in mid‑December 2026 but has not provided an exact reopening date.
- A nearby temporary pool bar will operate during the closure to maintain poolside service, though Disney has not confirmed whether the substitute stand will offer the same full menu.
- Resort operations and existing reservations at All‑Star Sports will continue and guests may see or hear daytime construction activity, as Disney typically schedules noisier work during daylight hours.
- The work at Grandstand Spirits fits a broader, phased set of refurbishments across Walt Disney World properties, and guests should watch for further updates on timing and temporary offerings before holiday travel peaks.
