GM Lounge

[Disney29]

Can anyone tell me what is in the GM Lounge? It has been closed the last two times we have been there.

I know that the hours are Monday-Friday until 5:00pm.

Are we missing anything? Are there restrooms in there? What else can you tell me?

We have taken full advantage of getting in front of the line at Test Track, but keep missing the lounge.

We are doing the 6 week dance!

I just went there for the first time 2 weeks ago! It's a must see for GM employees!

You go up an elevator to a reception desk where you show your ID, just like the way you do down below. Then you can see the inside of the ride from one window, and then you can look out the giant floor to ceiling one way windows overlooking the ride entrance. You can see a good chunck of Future World from up there, and you get a good view of the vehicles as they race around the building right below you. It's beautiful. There are restrooms up there and free soft drinks. There is a large GM conference room, so I would think you could schedule a meeting if you were important enough.

I of course never knew there was a window to look inside the ride, and it isn't at all hidden from the ride guests, you just never look up there, until you know where it is. I don't think most people realize the the upper portion of the building houses such a thing, or that those are windows above the entrance!

There is confortable lounge seating for 20 or more people I would guess.

My folks (Dad is a GM retiree) were there in January and visited it each day they were at Epcot (I think 3). Each time they had to show his badge/card, whatever you want to call it from GM. They got a free soft drink and a chance to relax. I haven't heard anyone else mention this, but each time they were also given a "valid anytime that day" fastpass for Test Track. Maybe only in low season?

I don't remember it saying valid all day, but they said there was no limit and we could go as much as we wanted. A coworker was down there at the same time as I was 2 weeks ago, and he REALLY took advantage of it!

Not sure why they were given a fast pass. There is no need. You go straight to the front of the line....it's better then fast pass.......

We take full advantage of it! It's a great PERK for GM associates!
