A new rumor has emerged that has Disney Vacation Club members excitedly gossiping! According to a handful of online sources, there’s talk of a new, exclusive DVC lounge being planned for Magic Kingdom’s Frontierland. This article delves into the rumors and the potential impact on the DVC community for this newly rumored lounge in Magic Kingdom.
DVC Lounge Overview
DVC lounges are renowned for offering members a peaceful respite from the exhilarating yet exhausting theme park experience. Current lounges, like the serene EPCOT lounge, the futuristic Star View Station at Disneyland, and the Top of the World Lounge with its breathtaking views, exemplify the blend of relaxation and exclusivity DVC aims to provide its members.
Frontierland: The Center of Speculation
The heart of the rumor lies within the confines of Frontierland, specifically pointing towards the Frontierland Shootin’ Arcade as the potential site for this new lounge. Despite the lack of official confirmation from Disney, the speculation is fueled by recent changes and updates in the area, including the arcade’s closure. Such transformations in Frontierland add credibility to the whispers of a new DVC haven amidst the wild west setting.
Why Frontierland?
A DVC lounge in Frontierland isn’t just about adding another member perk; it’s about enhancing the DVC experience with a location steeped in storytelling and adventure. The convenience of a lounge in Magic Kingdom, combined with the unique ambiance of Frontierland, could offer an immersive escape for members — a place where they can recharge before diving back into their magical journey.
No Official Details Yet
Disney remains tight-lipped about the specific whereabouts and expected launch timeline for this rumored upcoming Disney Vacation Club lounge. 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.
It is not expected that future lounges would be open to buyers on the resale market, but with as with any Membership Extras benefits, use of these lounges is not guaranteed for the lifetime of a member’s DVC ownership. These benefits can be removed or discontinued at any time, so it would be hard to recommend purchasing your DVC direct for these benefits.
Between Rumor and Reality
As the DVC community buzzes with anticipation over the rumored new lounge in Frontierland, it’s important to remember that without official word from Disney, this exciting prospect remains a whisper among many in the realm of possibilities. Nevertheless, the speculation itself highlights the vibrant and dynamic nature of the DVC membership experience — always evolving, with new surprises around every corner.
Should this rumor come to fruition, it would be an interesting investment in DVC for Disney to carve out space in the most popular theme park. Until then, the DVC family waits, and wonders about the magic that may be on the horizon, proving once again that in the world of DVC, anything is possible!
