New DVC Member Lounge Confirmed at Magic Kingdom

Disney Vacation Club is continuing to increase their member benefit offerings with the announcement of a new DVC Member Lounge. We covered rumors previously about a member lounge coming this beloved park to take the place of the Frontierland Shootin’ Arcade and it looks like it will officially happen.

DVC is set to open a new DVC Member Lounge later this year in Frontierland at Magic Kingdom Park!

This would mark the second DVC Member Lounge debut at Walt Disney World this year, coming on the heels of the opening of “Gateway to Discovery” – A Disney Vacation Club Welcome Home Center at Disney Springs just last month. The center, designed with DVC Members in mind, also is expected to have a second-floor lounge area slated to welcome members later this spring. This series of expansions underlines Disney Vacation Club’s commitment to enhancing its members’ experiences across the Walt Disney World Resort. In addition to these, the EPCOT Member Lounge in the Imagination Pavilion is currently going through a refurbishment. A temporary lounge is set up at the Odyssey pavilion.

According to Gustin, the new lounge will be a “pioneer-inspired space” inspired by “the bygone era of exploration and adventure,” per Disney. According to estimates, the lounge should be around 2500-2600 sq. ft. While a member lounge in Magic Kingdom will certainly be a busy one, it will make for a great place to escape the Florida heat. You even have many food options nearby to grab before heading in!

As a reminder, DVC Member Lounge access is considered a Disney Vacation Club “Member Benefit” and is only available for direct “DVC-Y” members with a valid membership that is eligible for Membership Extras.
