Overview
- An updated Walt Disney World notice sets a refurbishment window from early May 2025 through August 2027 across different parts of the Riverside hotel.
- The new scope replaces a previous plan limited to Magnolia Bend that had aimed to finish by February 2026.
- The revised schedule extends the project by roughly 18 months compared with the earlier timeline.
- Disney cautions that guests may see or hear construction and that some rooms, particularly in Magnolia Bend, will be unavailable during phases of the work.
- Disney has not released images or design details for the refreshed rooms, and multiple Disney-focused outlets have reported the updated timeline and scope.
