Disney World Reopens Stormalong Bay Pool, Test Track Set July 22

Disney World is seeing exciting reopenings and refurbishments at two popular attractions this summer. The iconic Stormalong Bay pool at Disney’s Yacht and Beach Club, closed since January 2025 for a major refresh, has partially reopened with the main pool now available, though the pirate ship slide and cabanas remain closed with no confirmed reopening date. Alongside the pool, Hurricane Hanna’s pool bar and restaurant has reopened with an updated menu, signaling progress in the refurbishment. Meanwhile, the fan-favorite Test Track ride at EPCOT, closed since June 2024, is set to reopen on July 22, 2025, with significant upgrades including a new musical score, advanced cameras and sensors, and a revamped storyline focusing on future automotive technology. General Motors returns as the ride’s sponsor, replacing Chevrolet from the previous iteration, and special previews will be offered to select guests prior to the official opening. These updates have been met with enthusiasm from Disney fans eager to experience the refreshed attractions.
