News V.I.Passholder Days return in 2024

[MouseEarsMom33]

I was hoping for some earlier August dates. I scheduled summer travel thinking we would get both F&G (for a June trip) and then later on F&W in earlier August and now we are likely going to miss both.

F&G is never in August. You'll get F&W in August. You'll just miss the Florida Blue Lounge which is mostly a room with A/C, bottled water, and a place to charge your phone.

Sorry, my post was confusing. We are going in June too, so thought we would get F&G then and then F&W in August. Does the Florida Blue room start in the beginning of F&W. Because we will be there before August 29.

Not according to the link I posted from Florida Blue. Their lounge begins August 29.

New magnet but no extra discount like they had last year? Yeah, WDW sure values its AP holders....

Can't remember for certain, but I think the extra merch discount was announced pretty late?

Seems like they are waiting on whether or not to run it, along with banking on Tiana's to lift the summer attendance.

So apparently Passholders are standing in line for the lounge. Smart thinking. Stand in the heat for an hour to get 15 minutes of A/C, bottled water, and some snacks.

Not my photo. "Borrowed" from an AP FB Group.

Oh, heck no!

The lounge is open until 8pm. I plan to visit later today, when (hopefully), it won't be as hot and crowded.

Visited at around 6:30pm, waited about 20mins to get in.

Here are some pictures from the AP lounge on opening day:

Having attended it when it was the Florida Blue lounge during F&W, there's no incentive for me here to wait to get in. Cute if there's no line, but otherwise zero advantage. I guess if I felt a desperate need to meet Genie it might be more worth it. Not a complaint, just an observation.

The parks, especially in the summer, need more of these type of areas/lounges for cooling off. Surprised they don't put a bar cart there.

We miss this restaurant but its good to see a perk for APers.

Should be year-round.

It will be the Florida Blue Lounge again August 29 - November 23.

Not in this location this year. Will be FL Blue Lounge again during the summer.

NOT worth it! I remember I was EPCOT years ago, and I saw this long, long line, I had to ask. It was for the free AP magnet. NOPE! didn't do that either.

Yesterday's line for the magnet looked daunting:

But, it moved pretty quickly, I was in and out, in about 10mins.
