Disneyland: Disney Vacation Club Member Lounge Coming to Disneyland Tomorrowland OPENING APRIL 19th!

But, but all the perks are disappearing!!

Well, this makes basically one perk for us West Coasters. I think I have a very tepid yay-it’s an ok thing that I might use once per visit for a half hour. It’s a fair perk at Epcot but when I’m at DL it’s about as fast to walk back to the Grand for a break. I’m not sad they did it but I’d love to have things like a real AP discount at DL, or the free pre-park walks or the Soarin’ tour that we used to have. Tour is gone and they charge for the walks-and the AP discount was only $20.

Had a feeling this was coming but so excited that it's in a park and not in VDH. Now just reinstate CoP underneath... Please Disney please.

I made sure I cashed in that $20 MK discount when I renewed. I live by DLR so I rarely stay onsite, so I’m excited to have a place to chill for a bit especially on hot days.

Ugh! When I didn't see any mention of a Magic Key discount on the DVC website, I figured it had disappeared and renewed online w/out the discount. Oh, well ... missed out on $40 (two MK renewals).

Why not call MS and see if they can refund the money? Hopefully the hold time won’t be forever.

About time!!! Can't wait.

Do we know if this lounge will be for "blue card" holders only? Too bad for those of us who bought resale contracts.

My guess would be yes.

Looks like a blue card perk to me...

Are the current lounges at Epcot and TOTW limited to just blue card holders?

Yes, they both currently are.

blue card holders?

I wonder how long before the term ”blue card” is no longer used since now not only are there no more physical blue cards, but the blue temporary card from the website is gone as well, replaced with a generic DVC card with DVC Y/ND info.

At least there is something still there and it does show DVC Y plus my membership number.

It’s still good for one month but this may have been the solution for those without a smartphone.

Has anyone read any updates about Star View Station beyond “opening in the first half of 2023”?

No more updates yet. As a Disneyland local I’m very much looking forward to when this opens.

Some former Imagineers have speculated that the Avatar experience announced in the recent earnings call would go into the same building that was announced for the lounge.

I guess there's a smaller Avatar walkthrough at Shanghai.

Bump: Any whispers on an opening date for this?
