Doubloon Lagoon Pool Closed for Refurbishment at Port Orleans – French Quarter
Disney’s Port Orleans — French Quarter is famous among Disney fans for its colorful decor, lively energy, and delicious Mickey beignets. But the resort is equally popular for its Mardi Gras-themed Doubloon Lagoon pool.
Unfortunately, guests hoping for a ride down the pool’s popular sea serpent slide will have to wait a little longer.

Back in September, MickeyBlog reported that the pool — along with Mardi Grogs Pool Bar — was slated to close for refurbishment in January 2024. Now, one week into February, the pool has finally closed to resort guests.

The refurbishment was originally expected to begin in January 2024 and last through April 2024. Since the project did not begin in January as scheduled, guests should be prepared for the work to continue into early May.
