Disney's Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa in the Disney Springs area will be closing its popular table-service restaurant, The Turf Club Bar and Grill, for a lengthy refurbishment project starting in mid-March 2026. The closure will also include the adjacent Turf Club Lounge, temporarily removing one of the resort's signature dining and cocktail spots for multiple months.

Why it matters

As one of the largest resorts on Walt Disney World property, the closure of The Turf Club will significantly impact dining options for guests staying at Saratoga Springs during the refurbishment period. While the resort will still have quick-service options and proximity to Disney Springs, the temporary loss of its main table-service restaurant narrows on-site dining convenience.

The details

The Turf Club Bar and Grill will shutter its doors in mid-March 2026 and is not expected to reopen until mid-September 2026. The closure will also include the adjacent Turf Club Lounge, temporarily removing one of the resort's signature dining and cocktail spots for multiple months. The refurbishment details remain under wraps, but Disney is expected to maintain the restaurant's equestrian charm while potentially elevating its atmosphere and comfort.

• The Turf Club Lounge will close from early April through early August.
• The Turf Club Bar & Grill will stay open with a pop-up bar and modified menu during the Lounge closure.
• The Turf Club patio will close in early to mid-August.
• The Turf Club Bar & Grill will close from mid-August through mid-September.
• The Turf Club Lounge will reopen and remain open in mid-August.

What’s next

Disney has indicated that both The Turf Club Bar and Grill and the Turf Club Lounge are expected to reopen in the August/September period, but specific details about the refurbishment plans have not been released.
