AP Lounges Yea or Nay?

I am all for the AP lounges. I have been to the one at Epcot 5 times. I usually get a drink and read the USA Today. The chairs are real comfortable and I was watching the Olympics there last week.

I think this is an awesome idea. There are times when you just want a place to sit, and this is a great place. Not to mention it's about time we AP Holders got some extra perks.

Marky, they had one open in AK at the time you were here last year. That was the "test" one (although it was outside in a covered area)

Assuming a "lounge" was designed and created that was not just an adult-only "watering hole," I'd be in favor of having them strategically located around the parks. There are days, I'd almost be willing to pay for a little bit of quiet, air conditioning, and a place to take a short nap! There are only a few eating places in the parks that are relatively quiet so there are not a whole lot of places to avoid the normal crowd ruckus for a brief respit.

While I love the parks, the almost constant din of background music, crowd noise, etc., makes me long for a few minutes of quiet. When my daughter was little, I'd have paid real money for a quiet zone so she could have taken a nap for a little while rather than the baby buggy naps which were always interrupted every few minutes by a noisy passerby.

As I age a bit more and still push 18 hour days for 10 days or so a year at WDW, I'm beginning to enjoy "sit'n down a spell and take'n a load of my feet." A quiet zone might be a nice touch to savor the flavor of the day.

Just a question.....

I saw the pics of the lounge at Epcot that are posted on this site. It looks great! But, do you think Disney would go through all the trouble and expense of making that lounge only to have it be a "test" lounge? Whatever will they do with it if they decide no one wants to use it??? I know the one at Animal Kingdom is just an area, not so much an actual lounge. Was that the test one maybe? Where did you all read that the Epcot one is just a test?
