The Surfboard Bay Pool Is Closing For a Lengthy Refurbishment at Disney’s All-Star Sports Resort
As someone who grew up in the 1990s, I have a special place in my heart for Disney’s All-Star Resorts.

With that being said, if you have already started planning a trip to Walt Disney World in early 2026, and were planning on staying at Disney’s All-Star Sports Resort, then I have some bad news.

From January 2026 until April 2026, the Surfboard Bay Pool and the kiddie pool at Disney’s All-Star Sports Resort will be closing for refurbishment.

The resort’s Grand Slam Leisure Pool will still be available during the closure.
Additionally, guests will still have access to the other pools located throughout Disney’s All-Star Resorts. These include the Calypso Pool, Piano Pool, and kiddie pool at Disney’s All-Star Music Resort; and the Fantasia Pool, Duck Pond Pool (my favorite!), and kiddie pool at Disney’s All-Star Movies Resort.
