Overview
- Disney confirmed the indoor space now closes on March 2, 2026, two weeks later than the previously announced February 17 date.
- The interior refurbishment is expected to run through spring 2026, with a reopening that Disney has previously suggested could align with the 15th anniversary on May 25.
- Outdoor seating will continue service during construction, and the adjacent Tangaroa Terrace Tropical Bar & Grill will remain open.
- Permits detail replacements of gas tiki torches, installation of air conditioning in an electrical room, and updates to mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and show-lighting systems.
- Outlet reports note the delay may drive heavier demand in late February as guests seek a final indoor visit before the closure.
