DVC Member Lounge Coming to Imagination!

[dgp602]

This HAS to kick start some type of Imagination Pavilion / Ride update, doesn't it? If you are bringing this many DVC owners to one place, I would assume you want a top notch, state of the art pavilion?

Hahahaha.

Nope.

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.

Wait. I thought they didn't take you upstairs anymore for the undiscovered future world tour?

 

[munchiezxx]

No. Right up until they began construction on the DVC lounge the abandoned ImageWorks was used as a quiet place were the tour guide could spiel about the history of Epcot. I can confirm this as of last December.

Hmm. I wonder if they would take you up there on the tour after the lounge is done?
Maybe if I ask very politely.

 

[munchiezxx]

I would assume they would be even more likely now to take you up there, similar to the way they take you to the other VIP lounges.

I reaaaaally hope so... I wonder if they would let a 15 year old on the tour?

Tours that go into backstage areas have a minimum age of 16.

Could we keep the discussion on one thread to topic please? DVC Lounge. There is nothing political or social about it. It's a room with some seats and soda. End of story (and about as thrilling a story as that of JII itself these days.)

They just want to act like a used car salesman and sell you more points (and here have a free coke while you wait). That's all really

I will have to check it out this summer see what it's like.

True. I did not go up there. But when we were there in April, the circular staircase that leads up to the "abandoned" area is not sealed off (staircase lobby), except for some rope barriers. So, I too have a tough time believing that they would let a Moldy room stay open to guest areas. Even though guests cannot go upstairs normally, they would have had to seal it off so that it did not spread mold out into guest areas. since, the air is free to roam about the entire upper and lower areas. LOL. Sounds like the Mold rumors came from some bad sources. Pun intended.

Unless however the mold references are for other areas upstairs that have been sealed off.

The DVC lounge will not be in those mold-ridden areas but there is indeed mold in some of those rooms toward the back of the 2nd floor. They are still unused for the most part save for some storage and maintenance usage.

From your point of view! However, I enjoy hearing about the current options, and they never have come across poorly to me.

Although I will not be able to go up there, I'm really happy to see this area back open.

Is the color tunnel open?

From what I understand, it has been removed.

That's just dumb!

The lounge will be open from 10-6 and will not be on park guide maps. There is a children's area with Disney infinity and a TV with cartoons. Then there is coke free style machines and a keurig for enjoyment.

 

[danv3]

Why would they remove the rainbow tunnel? It was there just a few months ago. Did it somehow interfere with the new lounge?

Nice perk for DVC members, but I'm really hoping to see Disney show some real imagination and start revitalizing Epcot (future world especially). Perks are nice (for those that can get in) but I don't go to Disney for lounges. IMO they're icing on the cake, now this park needs some more substance & TLC.
