Scaffolding Rises at Disney’s Contemporary Resort as Long-Term Refurbishment Continues
Guests arriving at Disney’s Contemporary Resort may notice a few extra steel beams mixed in with the iconic A-frame views. New scaffolding has appeared outside the resort as Disney continues its extensive exterior refurbishment project.

The newly installed scaffolding is located to the right of the resort’s main entrance and currently reaches up to the lowest levels of guest room balconies. Temporary barriers have been put in place around the work zone, preventing guests from accessing the area while crews continue construction.
Construction activity is most visible on the far right side of the building, where tarps and construction walls can be seen around several balconies. These rooms are currently unavailable to guests while refurbishment work is underway. On the ground level, crews have also been refreshing portions of the resort’s exterior, including repainting support poles beneath the porte cochere.
This refurbishment project first began in September 2024 and has seen its completion timeline extended multiple times. While the work was originally expected to wrap up in 2025, Disney has since pushed the project timeline through the end of 2027. Despite the ongoing construction, the resort remains fully operational, with the majority of guest areas, dining locations, and amenities continuing to welcome visitors.
