The Imagination Pavilion at EPCOT is currently in the midst of a significant renovation project aimed at replacing its elevator system. This essential upgrade has necessitated the temporary closure of the Disney Vacation Club (DVC) Lounge within the pavilion. Below, we provide an overview of this project and its implications for DVC members and visitors.
Details of the Elevator Replacement Project
The renovation project at the Imagination Pavilion focuses on the replacement of the existing elevator system. This effort is part of Disney’s broader initiative to modernize and enhance the accessibility of its facilities across various theme parks. As a result of this construction work, the DVC Lounge located within the pavilion is temporarily closed.
Alternative Arrangements for Guests
During the renovation period, which is expected to last until July 13, 2024, DVC members will have access to a temporary lounge space inside The Odyssey Pavilion. This arrangement ensures that members continue to have a dedicated space to relax and enjoy amenities while visiting EPCOT.
