Guests hoping to head toward the pool area of Disney’s Port Orleans Resort — French Quarter are met with A-frame signs letting them know that the pool area, including Doubloon Lagoon and Mardi Grogs pool bar are closed for refurbishment. Per the Disney site, they will be closed through April 2024.

Doubloon Lagoon, the sole pool in the French Quarter section of Port Orleans, has been emptied, with all of the pool’s lining removed in preparation of a replacement. Scales, the 51-foot-long sea serpent slide has been partially covered to protect it from the construction work.

There is still quite a bit of debris left in the pool, indicating that it’s not quite ready for new lining to be installed.
