DVC Member Lounge Coming to Imagination!

[MickeyWiki]

Forgive my if this has been talked about somewhere else, but it looks like in celebration of DVC's 25th anniversary a new members only lounge is going to be opening inside the Imagination! pavilion. I wonder if it is going to be upstairs?

It could very well be the former Kodak VIP Lounge that hugs the left side of the Magic Eye Theater. I wouldn't hold my breath for the Upstairs to open.

The old Kodak lounge is actively used as an office. It will be interesting to see what happens. How big is Figment's old M&G space?

It used to be a gift shop but it was small. I have pics from back then, but unfortunately I'm saving them for when I open my lifestyler blog

Not that big really...
Found on Google

It was very small. I was in there twice, all you did was walk through a open door and there was Figzilla, about a 30 by 30 space, with some cheesy back drop. I must say, I liked the poses he would do with you, like the back to back arms crossed pose!

What I am curious about is if the offerings for 2016 are more plentiful then in recent years. We went to the Beach Bash at Typhoon Lagoon in 2015 and had a great time. Is 2016 a typical year in terms of DVC opportunities or are they stepping up their game a bit?

I wonder if this idea will be expanded to other parks?

If that's the case DVC could also take over the AAA VIP Lounge in Tomorrowland since AAA parted ways...

well color me impressed, I never knew that was there in Tomorrowland. Is it just closed now?

Pretty sure it is...This sign use to stand out a little further down pass the CoP sign...

Not utilized in that capacity, but still is used daily for WDW.

Really? But, is it run by AAA or is it something else now?

Could always use the RCA Patio...

The Epcot one will probably be upstairs. Unless things have changed. Which would also put to rest the rumours of it being moldy and unusable.

No AAA involvement. It's office space.

the video kinda reminded me of the Dreamflight queue, oh how I miss it.

I did not notice any glaring mold or other cleanliness issues when we were up there on the Undiscovered Future World tour a few months ago. In fact it was almost disturbingly well maintaned for something that has been sitting abandoned for 15+ years. The remains of the surprisingly-intact Coloring Book room and the Rainbow Tunnel were without any dust or cobwebs which suggests they still have someone cleaning up there regularly.

The last time I was in there was for the media walkthrough of MM+/Magic Bands. It kind of looked like a show scene from COP. As if the last act was updated in the mid 2000s... but without the AAs or music or ride.

Minor things like this cost little but go a long way to making members feel appreciated. Disney should do more "little" things like this for guests like DVC members and AP holders.
