Concrete has officially been poured for the new pool coming to Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground, marking a big visible milestone in the Meadow Swimmin’ Pool expansion project. Recent aerial photos shared by @bioreconstruct show the concrete foundation now in place for a brand new zero entry pool that appears to be roughly the same size as the existing Meadow Swimmin’ Pool, though laid out in a different shape. This gives us one of the clearest looks yet at how substantial the expansion will be once completed.

The aerials also reveal progress on new buildings next to the pool area. Structures that were previously just concrete walls now have unfinished roofs, and a wooden framing element between them hints at a future breezeway connection. Some nearby walkways have already been paved, and a triangular concrete structure adjacent to the pool footprint may indicate a future hot tub. Crews were also spotted working in an area with large ground openings between the pool site and the construction walls, suggesting more utilities or features are on the way.

This pool expansion is part of a larger upgrade to the Meadow Swimmin’ Pool area that will also add a tennis court and two pickleball courts, though their exact locations have not yet been confirmed. Construction is expected to continue into mid 2026. The good news for current guests is that both the Meadow Swimmin’ Pool and Wilderness Swimmin’ Pool remain open during the work, though seating around the Meadow area may be limited and some construction sights and sounds are to be expected.
