Private Cabanas at Magic Kingdom: Last Day to Rent One - February 17, 2017

[yulilin3]

Building on the popularity of cabanas offered at Disney water parks, Disney Cruise Line and select Walt Disney World Resort Hotels, we will be introducing cabanas to Magic Kingdom Park on Nov. 27. Situated in an out-of-the-way area of Tomorrowland near Space Mountain, cabanas accommodate up to 8 Guests and will be available for a daily rental price of $649. Amenities include private and shaded seating, cold beverages, snacks and reserved viewing for parades and fireworks.

Cabanas will be visible in the park starting Nov. 19. You may see Guests testing the cabanas as early as Nov. 20. Guests may book starting Nov. 21 for dates Nov. 27 and beyond by calling (407) WDW-PLAY or visiting Concierge at a Walt Disney World Resort hotel.

Here's how the "cabanas" look from the outside

Let's say 8 adults split the price, that's $82 each, I would only see this as a good alternative on NYE at Epcot or MK, that's about it

 

[Naterfan]

I would feel a guilty need to use the tent, due to the price, and probably miss out on park time. Shady spots can be found anywhere.

I read somewhere that if testing goes well and they sell, they will make more permanent structures and not use tents forever. I'd believe that.

Very ugly

 

[SkiTeton]

It's....it's a tent

And, if they put lights on the shrubbery, you'd have your own private "Tree Trail!"

that's $100, if you want snoap it's $200 more

Anyone on here thinking about booking one of these I would personally like to know someone's viewpoint who was in favor of this.

It's brilliant, really. I mean, these are likely the sort to spend top dollar on a deluxe resort room already. Now Disney is getting them to pony up for a second place to stay that day. I mean, who does that?

 

[mom2rtk]

I'm dying laughing at the Space Mountain artwork. I mean..... why not just step outside and see the REAL THING???????!!!!!!!

And I didn't see it mentioned, but do they have A/C?

 

[TheFloatingBear]

Those must be spectacular snacks!

It looks prettier on the inside than the outside.

 

[yulilin3]

I wonder if they gave out all day fps to all attractions if it would be more enticing?

 

[MaryLovesPoohBear]

If we could afford it, I would love it.

A place to park the scooter, take a nap, get a snack and be on my way, all without having to leave the park? Sounds good to me.

Right now we are planning a long break in the middle of the day, so we can go back to the resort. This would make it so I could take a couple of breaks throughout the day, and I never have to leave.

But the price is out of our reach.

That was my thought...if I were going to shell out all the money, I wouldn't want to be wasting times in silly lines. I would want to be lounging in my shaded tent, eating Mickey bars, gazing at Space Mountain art.

My thoughts exactly. The only benefit I can see this being for is large families, maybe with elderly, disabled, small kids or infants, who will take advantage of the shade and seating for naps and mid-day breaks. Family members can rotate in and out of it. It's a guaranteed reserved space for their whole group without having to worry about finding benches or sitting on the lawn. But I do think it's a pretty hefty price tag - a poolside cabana at Aulani is less than half that price.

Would anyone be able to nap in the middle of all the theme park noise? I know I wouldn't.

 

[Naterfan]

If I purchased a snack or quick service meal on the other side of the park, there's no way I would walk back to tent to eat it. I guess, like I stated before, I would feel tied to that location, 'cause, by God, I'm gonna get my money's worth.

 

[Accident]

I can think of a couple situations I might be willing to rent that, but the group would need to be large enough. interesting place to have a little "birthday surprise", or something.. NYE I wouldn't mind a hiding spot for part of the night..

How much to have it moved to the smoking section?
