New McKim's Mile House and ImaginAtrium Member Lounge >> NOW OPEN! 3/18/25 <<

A couple of thoughts about this.

1. I had not heard that DVC used to have free daily room servicing. When did that change? I had always thought it was standard timeshare cleaning schedule.
The only thing in that post you quoted that is remotely accurate is the free valet parking. Complimentary passes ended nearly 30 years ago (the incentive ended in around 1996, with the last ones expiring in 2000). There was never daily housekeeping, and annual passes in 2000, the year when complimentary DVC passes expired, were all $300, no matter who you were. WDW didn’t even begin offering a Florida resident pass until 2015, and the Incredi-Pass was created post-COVID.

No Florida resident discounted passes until 2018..??

I do not think that is correct.

Sorry, should have said they didn’t offer a specific Florida resident pass until the Gold in 2015.

They had an “After 4” pass for residents back in 1995, but it wasn’t really the equivalent of any other passes, and residents did get a nominal discount on other passes.

I believe there were resident discounts further back.
I did own a Silver in 2015.

But, you are correct. That list of perks was well off the mark.

Yeah, my point was that the statement “When we purchased, members got free tickets, free valet parking, daily room servicing, the incredi-pass for $300, etc.” is way off because the free tickets and “Incredi-Passes” are offset by about two decades.

I don’t see any mention of snacks, however, I do not recall mention of them when it originally opened. Curious to see if they’ll be out.

Hopefully 'open soon' will mean within the next 9 days. Really enjoy stopping over there for an AC break and free drinks during the hot summer/fall of Florida...bringing a friend who's never seen it before, so I think she'd enjoy the little extra perk too.

But the big question...did they add bathrooms???
 
Likely not - plumbing and such would have taken a lot longer. At least in MK, the bathrooms are just around the corner - with Epcot's DVC, the bathrooms are a trek!

Hoping this opens before the holidays. I'm guessing they won't open both this and the MK one by then.
 
Pretty much , but if they tried to close it, suddenly it's everyone's favorite thing. The pearl clutching would be off the chart, Walt would once again be rolling in his grave, etc. Poor Walt, his casket has no doubt drilled its way to the center of the Earth by now, with all that rolling.
@BamaGuy44 off topic for this thread, but man did you call it! 🤣
 
Epcot's wasn't open on 9/15/24 when I stopped by to check - no one manned at the podium out front - asked some CMs at the store counter if they heard anything about an opening date, and no one knew anything.
 
FYI:

It was reported on FB that the EPCOT LOUNGE has a SOFT OPENING going on today!
Ohh that's interesting. If true, that would be great news for our holiday trip. Just asked member svc yesterday and they said they had no idea when it would open. If Mem Magic Beyond is to start in Jan, you'd think they'd want to open the lounges by then.
