Chase lounge question

[livndisney]

Last year when they offered the lounge above American Adventure was if for just Chase Credit card holders or Chase debit holders as well?

 

[SarahDisney]

Last year it was credit or debit.
I don't know if it will be the same this year.

 

[karensi]

Gee, I have a Chase debit card and a Chase credit card, but I dont know anything about this. Could some kind Disser please explain.

Thank you,

Karen

This is a great little perk for Chase Disney Visa cardholders! (both credit and debit)

During the Food and Wine Festival, the Chase lounge is available on the second floor of the America Pavilion at Epcot's World Showcase. You have to show the Chase card to the CM at the entrance to be admitted. Once upstairs, there is a lounge available to you that is air conditioned, has tv's on, and plenty of spots to sit and charge your phone. There are restrooms. Last year, we were able to get free refreshments from the Coke Freestyle machines, which was really nice. I believe you could purchase alcoholic drinks, but I'm not sure I'm remembering that correctly! We just used the Coke machines and chatted with other folks in the lounge.

This was really nice: it's in the perfect location! You can do half of World Showcase, then take a break in there for a little while, then do the other half.

Looking forward to enjoying this soon!!!!

The perk isn't limited to Chase Disney Credit Cards. Any Chase card qualifies. The gate keepers just need to see the chase logo on your card.

I didn't have my credit card with me, had my key to the world card. I did have a Disney Chace Rewards card. One cast member said we could not enter but just then another came up and said they must have Chase card to get that and let us in. It was a nice refreshing rest.

That was a Pixie Dust moment even though it was a common sense moment. They could have turned you away. Just a reminder to everyone to bring your card and photo ID with you. Nice to have a little get away place. I'm sure it will be open again this year.

Sometimes there is quite a wait to get in and other times there is no wait. When you go past the waiting area and see no one in line, take advantage then. The elevator and stairs entrance wait line is to the right of the American Adventure entrance. The free Coke Freestyle machines were a treat. Seats could be hard to find sometimes. That was last 2 years. The first year, the lounge was in the Festival Center.

Yes, I do remember that there were two people at small bars, where you could purchase wine? or beer or both. The water and the soft drinks were free.

I just remember how lovely the air conditioning was.....

is there a limit to how many people can go in per credit card?

We have a party of 6, while we only have three credit card holder members going, can our party all go rest?

There were 4 of us (all adults) who went in by showing one card last year. The CM who was working at the entrance said it was okay when I asked if my sister and her husband could go in as our "guests". You should be fine with 6 people and 3 cards.

BTW, they has sign up desks for the Disney Visa inside the lounge area, so I'm sure that they were more than happy to have 2 potential Chase customers go up with current customers.

Hi.
I've been going to Disney for 100 years and never heard of this perk
I'm also karensi's dd and we will be going in September.
Can anyone please let me know exactly what this is and how to get there.
Thank you very much.

 

[mckelvey72]

I have the debit and credit card AND am an employee of Chase. I should get something extra

Chase has a lounge for card members during the Food & Wine Festival. In the past, it had been in the Festival Center (located in the old Wonders of Life Pavillion). In the past couple of years, it has relocated to the American Pavilion in the World Showcase, in an upper floor normally off limits to the general public. As previously mentioned, the entrance is located to the right of the show entrance to the American Adventure. It is marked with a small sign that most people overlook. You must show a Chase card and a form of ID to gain entrance.

The lounge itself is just a place to relax, cool off and maybe recharge your phone. There are complimentary beverages (usually) as well as alcoholic beverages for purchase. There is limited, comfortable seating and a few television sets.

There are specific hours of operation (I don't think it is open in the evening) and access is limited due to fire code. You may have to wait for someone to leave before you can go up.

Thanks so much!
I think I will try to stop in "just because" during the F&W trip in September.
Thanks!

Don't forget the perk of a reserved spot for Illuminations, and one other item I don't remember. It was only for certain days of the week, and availability was limited.

The lounge was a nice perk - i miss it. Nicer than the old AP lounge in the Land pavilion.

"The perk of a reserved spot for Illuminations" , that sounds awesome.
Could someone please explain how that would work/how we could go about getting this "reserved spot."
Thank you.

Reasons I like this site so much. How did I ever not know about this? We do our character photo shoot but never knew about the lounge. It would be so great to find uncrowded air conditioner and just a place to rest for bit.

Thanks for this post.

There were a limited number of reserved spots. You had to get them inside the lounge where Chase had a table set up to distribute tickets. The preferred viewing spot was on the side in front of Spaceship Earth. If I'm not mistaken, that spot is being used for reserved fireworks viewing under the new FP+ system. If that's the case, Chase may not be offering that perk this year.
