Disney Vacation Club members can look forward to a new exclusive lounge at Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom. This addition promises to offer members a unique space to relax and recharge, enhancing their park experience.
Pioneer-Inspired Lounge in Frontierland
We recently reported on rumors of an upcoming lounge that would replace the Frontierland Shootin’ Arcade, featuring a design inspired by the era of exploration and adventure.
Reporter Scott Gustin has now confirmed that Disney Vacation Club will be transforming the Frontierland Shootin’ Arcade into a new Member Lounge, with construction slated to begin later this year.
According to Disney insiders, the lounge aims to capture the spirit of pioneers and the frontier, providing an immersive environment for DVC members.
Construction Timeline
Construction for the new lounge is scheduled to commence later in 2024, although an exact opening date has not been provided. The announcement confirms earlier reports and adds anticipation for this new member benefit.
DVC Lounges Across Disney Parks
This new lounge will be the third DVC-exclusive space within Walt Disney World. Currently, members have access to a lounge in EPCOT’s Imagination Pavilion and the Top of the World Lounge – a Villain’s Lair at Bay Lake Tower. While the EPCOT lounge undergoes refurbishment, a temporary space in the Odyssey Pavilion serves members. Additionally, Disneyland introduced its first DVC lounge, Star View Station, in Tomorrowland in 2023.
Also, it’s important to note, that using these DVC lounges is a part of the Membership Extras benefit, which require owners to purchase a minimum of 150 points directly from DVC to gain eligibility.
Conclusion
The new lounge in Frontierland represents Disney’s continued commitment to enhancing the DVC membership experience. By offering unique spaces for relaxation and exclusive member benefits, Disney ensures that DVC members have memorable and enjoyable visits to their parks.
