Walt Disney World has spent much of the past year investing in its resort hotels. Guests have encountered construction walls, temporary closures, and unavailable amenities as Disney worked through several refurbishment projects across the property.While those projects sometimes caused inconveniences for travelers, many have now officially reached the finish line. After months of work, Disney has completed renovations at six major resort locations, bringing back popular amenities, refreshed accommodations, improved transportation options, and updated guest spaces.If you’re planning a Walt Disney World vacation in the coming months, here’s a look at what’s now finished.Royal Guest Rooms Return at Port Orleans RiversideRoyal Guest Rooms have reopened, though broader room refurbishment work continues elsewhere at Port Orleans Riverside.These rooms have remained a favorite among Disney fans thanks to their princess-inspired details and unique theming. Disney completed updates while preserving the elements that helped make the rooms so popular in the first place.The finished project means guests can once again book the Royal Guest Rooms without concerns about nearby construction activity. For many families, the updated accommodations offer the perfect combination of refreshed features and Disney storytelling.Credit: DisneyBay Lake Tower Reopens Recreation AreasBay Lake Tower at Disney’s Contemporary Resort has also completed a significant refurbishment project.Over the past several months, the Bay Cove Pool, Cove Bar, water play area, and whirlpool spa all underwent improvements. These amenities are among the most frequently used spaces at the resort, especially during Florida’s hotter months.Now that construction has concluded, guests once again have access to the full recreation area. The reopening comes at a good time, as summer visitors continue to arrive at Walt Disney World and resort pool time becomes a bigger part of many vacations.Animal Kingdom Lodge Finishes Kidani Village Guest RoomsAnother major project recently wrapped up at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge.Kidani Village spent months updating guest rooms throughout the resort. The refurbishment began in late 2025 and focused on refreshing accommodations while maintaining the atmosphere that makes the resort so popular.Animal Kingdom Lodge remains one of Disney’s most unique hotel experiences thanks to its savanna views and immersive setting. Guests can now enjoy updated rooms while still taking advantage of everything that makes the resort special.The completion of the project also means fewer construction impacts for guests staying at Kidani Village moving forward.Credit: DisneyOld Key West Completes Hospitality House ImprovementsDisney’s Old Key West Resort has also crossed an important project off its list.Exterior improvements at Hospitality House have officially concluded after months of work. Hospitality House serves as the center of activity for many guests, offering dining, shopping, guest services, and information on recreation.Although Disney worked to keep the area operating throughout construction, guests occasionally encountered temporary pathways and work zones.Now that the project is complete, visitors can enjoy a smoother experience throughout one of the resort’s most important locations.Credit: DisneyPolynesian Boat Dock Overhaul Comes to an EndTransportation improvements may not generate the same attention as room refurbishments, but they can have a major impact on a Disney vacation.At Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, the boat service has resumed following the dock closure, though other resort-area work continues.The dock serves as an important connection for guests traveling across Seven Seas Lagoon, particularly those heading to Magic Kingdom. During construction, visitors relied more heavily on alternative transportation options.With the refurbishment complete, boat service has fully returned. That gives Polynesian guests another convenient way to travel around Walt Disney World and restores one of the resort’s most popular transportation offerings.Credit: DisneyYacht Club Reopens Crew’s Cup LoungeDisney’s Yacht Club Resort also recently completed work on Crew’s Cup Lounge.The popular dining location temporarily closed earlier this year for improvements. While smaller than some of Disney’s other refurbishment projects, the update was still an important one for guests staying at the resort.Crew’s Cup Lounge has long been a favorite spot for guests looking to grab a bite to eat or relax after a day in the parks. Its location near EPCOT and Disney’s Hollywood Studios makes it especially convenient for visitors staying in the Crescent Lake area.Now that the project is finished, the lounge has reopened and is once again welcoming guests.What Does This Mean for Your Stay?The completion of these projects is welcome news for Disney World visitors.Refurbishments are necessary to keep Disney’s resorts updated, but they can also create temporary inconveniences. Closed amenities, transportation adjustments, and construction activity can all affect a vacation experience.With these six projects now complete, guests can enjoy more fully operational resorts with fewer disruptions. Visitors staying at these hotels will benefit from updated rooms, restored transportation options, reopened dining locations, and refreshed recreational spaces.In many cases, guests will get to enjoy the finished improvements without experiencing any of the construction that came before them.Credit: DisneyDisney’s Resort Refresh ContinuesWhile several resort projects remain underway across Walt Disney World, Disney has recently completed renovations at six major locations.From refreshed Royal Guest Rooms at Port Orleans Riverside and updated accommodations at Kidani Village to restored boat transportation at the Polynesian and reopened amenities at Bay Lake Tower, guests now have more finished offerings available throughout the resort.For travelers planning upcoming Walt Disney World vacations, that’s one less thing to worry about and one more reason to look forward to checking in.The post After Months of Work, Disney World Debuts Completed Renovations at 6 Major Resorts appeared first on Inside the Magic.
