As Disney World prepares for its 50th anniversary this year, we’ve seen a lot of construction happening around the parks and property.

While we’ve already seen Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort go under construction, there’s another Disney Resort receiving the refurbishment treatment this year!
During a conversation with a Disney Cast Member, we were able to confirm that Disney’s Contemporary Resort will be refurbishing its Main Tower Guest Rooms throughout 2021. The refurbishment is expected to begin in April and last through September.

As Disney gears up for construction, there has been limited availability online for Disney’s Contemporary Resort in April, most likely due to various rooms undergoing refurbishment at once.

Update: The Disney World website now specifically notes that this refurbishment will be taking place in April.

It also specifies that while some of the Main Tower rooms will be unavailable during the refurbishment, most of the resort areas and amenities will still be available for guests to use and enjoy.

We’ll be sure to keep you updated with additional details on the Contemporary Resort’s refurbishment soon! And, we’ll give you a look at all the other construction updates happening around Disney World too.

I have a reservation in early September at Contemporary in the main tower. My Travel agent heard this reno was coming and called Disney over the weekend to check. They told her it’s room refreshes in the main tower that will start mid-April and are expected to be completed by mid July and my reservation wouldn’t be effected. ?Fingers crossed that stays true! ? I’ve never stayed at the Contemporary but it’s on my bucket list so I really hope the refurb is done by then. I was actually supposed to stay there last year but that trip didn’t end up happening…
I had a reservation booked from June 27th to June 30, 2021 in the main tower -theme park view at the Contemporary and I just received a phone call yesterday and had to switch hotels!
