New Disney Vacation Club Member Lounge coming to Walt Disney World

[Indy_UK]

Yeah they'll still ship you over there to see the room mockups. This is just to get those who are going to springs for a meal at Chicken Guy to pop in and drop $35,000

And what’s funny is a lot of people would read your comment and think you’re exaggerating for sarcastic effect?

…not one bit

Confusion already!

Brooke reports that it is not the previously announced new lounge.

News on the new DVC lounge from @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.

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

This makes sense. DVC is a HUGE money maker for Disney and these loyal folks who are financially committed to WDW should get perks.

This also makes sense since they want to erase Frontierland and guns and Walt Disney...

Buzz, TSMM, everything Star Wars and Fort Langholm still have guns (of sorts). As does Hoop De Doo.

It must be a slow removal so no one notices I have with me right now, the toy pistols and toy rifle that were removed from Frontierland long ago.

So why does Disney keep building DVC resorts?

Taking this onto the DVC forum instead.

The trend of flipping resort rooms to DVC rooms is partly to ensure 95% occupancy of those rooms which were previously under-booked. And partly because the upkeep and upgrades to those rooms, plus part of the general resort running costs are then paid for by DVC members.

Even in the case of Riviera, that replaced a section of CBR. The Cabins at FW needed replaced and creating a DVC resort with FW means the costs can then be passed over to DVC. In the case of the Poly, it’s adding capacity to the resort, and more of the running costs will be paid for by the DVC annual dues.

Well, that stinks. The Disneyland shooting gallery is largely responsible for stoking an interest in one of my favorite hobbies and past times.
