MK Frontierland Shootin' arcade to close and replaced with DVC Member lounge

[wdwmagic]

This info seems to be out there now, so just to confirm that there are plans to replace the Frontierland Shootin' Arcade with a new DVC Member Lounge. Closure likely around the end of May. Disney has yet to announce anything beyond the previously news of a new DVC lounge in an unnamed location.

So that's what @lentesta was talking about in his latest episode.

The latest flash of brilliance from a team who can't help but stepping on their own...

shoelaces.

Will it only take space from Shootin' Arcade? Or will it also take some of Pecos Bill's or the shop next door? The arcade space isn't all that large I don't believe?

I lament the loss but will love having a lounge at MK.

The arcade is in a separate block of building from Pecos Bill's.

I expect they'll be taking some space from the Agrabah Bazar.

I just walked past this place yesterday and wondered when they were going to get rid of it.

Somehow I just find it hard to believe there's no other possible spot they could do this without taking something away and further crippling a land they insist on continually making worse.

 

[tissandtully]

Yeah there’s a reason they made it free when it reopened

 

[marni1971]

Because theres no where else to put a lounge.

Yes, its true.

 

[tissandtully]

Will it have a bathroom?

 

[peng]

DVC is a cancer, MK has tons of empty places at this point. Besides, did they really need another lounge?

 

[tissandtully]

Another one? My friend, there’s only one other DVC lounge in a WDW park.

 

[Horizonsfan]

Not surprised but what a dumb plan. So many memories there, all to be lost for a soda machine and armchairs.

'Twas indeed. I'm not the source for the site that reported it though.

ETA: If you want to make t-shirts with the words "They can pry their laser rifles from my cold, dead hands", I would be okay with that.

This lends more credence to the idea of Frontierland being transformed into a New Orleans Riverfront region. Now, if BBT becomes new Frontierland, I won’t be mad.

If it has a bathroom even better!

It really says something that the relic fake guns are viewed as more problematic than the predatory timeshare industry.

I have bad news for you- the concept of the frontier is problematic to certain decision makers.

My wife and I would actually make it a point to stop here a fire off a few laser rounds, it fed our competitive side. This was a nice little diversion, but I won't lose sleep over this one.

 

[marni1971]

Will it have a bathroom?

No.

Allegedly.
