Annual Passholder Lounges?

[stanley]

Has anyone heard anything about the Annual Passholder lounges in Epcot and AK opening this year for the summer? There was no mention in the latest Mickey Monitor.

They are not open as of right now.

We just got our May Mickey Monitor on Saturday and there are NO special perks listed for APs, except for the discounts we already get. No lounges, despite the loss of sponsors, no special parties at Animal Kingdom. I would think this is bad timing, considering Busch Gardens is offering its buy one day, get the rest of the year free, again...anyone with APs expiring now might consider a 'vacation' from the mouse and commit to other cheaper alternatives until Disney perks return (like the Osborne Lights preview in November). During the HOT Summer months, there was nothing like a lounge to relax in...and I was sure looking forward to checking out the Spaceship Earth lounge this year after AT&Ts departure.
The only thing in this MM that excited me was the good write up of Mission Space which includes the Space Port, a kid's play area, which I know Tasha will love, while Norm and I get sick on the ride.
