DVC Lounges - some questions

[Flash_Sloth]

I'm at WDW now and visited the MK and EPCOT member lounges. Now when checking-in, they scan your magicband to know who you are and whether or not you have Membership Magic Beyond. I guess it also tells them if you're currently staying on your points for the special evening EPCOT character meet & greet; it is still Judy and Nick as of last night.

If there is a wait, they'll ask for your cell # to send you texts to let you know when it is your turn. I'm not sure how they handle things if you've booked 2 rooms to accommodate your traveling party.

But OP said they were in two different rooms, so I'm not sure how that works.

OP here. The person who posted about having 8 in their party was another poster and someone responded to that situation. I am the one with 2 different room and a total of 11, including DH and me. We have 2 ppl in our villa with us. The others are in the other - 4 adults and 3 children.

Is MMB needed to access the lounges?

Is MMB needed to access the lounges?

No. At Epcot later hours are reserved for MMB for the character meet stuff, and if there are really big crowds when you're there, it's possible the wait times without MMB could get really long - but in general you should be able to get into any member lounge without MMB. I don't do MMB and have gotten into all lounges in Sep and June this year.

Well, I think that as long as the second room was booked using your membership, the guests on that reservation should be allowed in, since they're your guests staying on "your" reservation. Unfortunately, I can't promise that my interpretation of the rules is correct.
