Disney World Announces ANOTHER Refurbishment for This Popular Hotel

Disney dropped news of another refurbishment coming to Disney World!

Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge

Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge has been going through lots of refurbishment plans, and they’re adding another to that list. Let’s take a look at the details!

As we mentioned, Animal Kingdom Lodge has been undergoing a lot of construction lately. Earlier this year, on July 7th, Disney started refurbishing the Zebra Trail Terrace at the Lodge’s Jambo House. The refurbishment of Zebra Trail Terrace is expected to continue through mid-September 2025.

Then, Disney announced ANOTHER refurb hitting the Lodge, with plans for the resort that are going to start in October of 2025. Guest rooms at Kidani Village at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge will be undergoing refurbishment. This refurb is expected to last through May 2026.

Then, after that, refurbishment at Jambo House will begin in May 2026 and go through January 2027. That’s right, refurbishment plans for the Lodge that will last until 2027! We’re excited to see the updated rooms, but it’s just going to be a very long time. These were all the plans announced a little while back, but now more refurbishment plans have been added to the popular resort.

Before the massive room refurbishments begin in October, Disney will be closing the Samawati Springs Pool Slide. Starting on September 8th, the Samawati Springs Pool Slide will be closing at Animal Kingdom Lodge’s Kidani Village for routine maintenance. There is currently no timetable for when this refurbishment will be complete.

If you’re staying at the resort, there will still be another fun water slide option for you to enjoy. It’s located at the Uzima Springs Pool! Also note, outside of the slide pool for a bit, all the resort’s amenities will remain available during construction. You just may see or hear construction at work.

Refurbishment periods are tough, but they are necessary to keep everything at the Walt Disney World Resort up to date. We’re looking forward to all the updates coming, especially with a deluxe resort like this one. For more Disney news and updates, be sure to stay tuned to the Disney Food Blog.
