Disney Updates Turf Club Refurbishment Schedule at Saratoga Springs Resort

Reading Time: 2 minutes

If you have a dining reservation at The Turf Club Bar & Grill or are staying at Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa this spring or summer, the refurbishment schedule has changed. Disney has revised the individual closure dates within the overall window, and the Lounge is now closing later than originally planned while the full refurbishment extends a few weeks longer into the fall.

Quick Summary

• The Turf Club Bar & Grill and Turf Club Lounge refurbishment at Saratoga Springs has a revised schedule
• The Turf Club Lounge now closes in early May (not early April as originally announced) through late August
• The Turf Club Bar & Grill stays open through mid-August with a pop-up bar and modified menu
• The Turf Club patio closes mid-August through late August
• The Turf Club Bar & Grill closes late August through late September; the Lounge reopens during this period
• The overall refurbishment window now runs through late September 2026, extended from the original mid-September end date

Updated Refurbishment Schedule

Here is the revised timeline for the Turf Club refurbishment at Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa:

• Early May through late August: The Turf Club Lounge closes. The Turf Club Bar & Grill remains open with a pop-up bar and modified menu.
• Mid-August through late August: The Turf Club patio closes in addition to the Lounge.
• Late August through late September: The Turf Club Bar & Grill closes. The Turf Club Lounge reopens and stays open.

The key changes from the original announcement: the Lounge closure now begins in early May rather than early April, and the full refurbishment extends to late September rather than mid-September. Guests who planned around the original dates will want to double-check before their visit.

What This Means if You Have a Reservation

If you have a dining reservation at the Turf Club Bar & Grill between late August and late September 2026, that reservation will likely need to be modified or cancelled — the Bar & Grill closes completely during that final phase of the refurbishment. Check My Disney Experience and confirm the status of any reservations in that window.

During the Bar & Grill’s open period (through mid-August), guests will experience a pop-up bar and modified menu rather than the full regular offering. If you are visiting Saratoga Springs specifically for a Turf Club dining experience, plan around those changes or wait until after the late September reopening when both the Bar & Grill and Lounge will be fully operational again.
