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

[VGCgroupie]

Sitting in McKim’s right now. We are not MMB peeps, and we arrived at the lounge around 1:30. Got on the wait list and waited about 20 minutes. It’s a nice space, tables are spaced nicely. I do wish there was somewhere to charge a phone. Seems odd to not have that capability.

We were a party of 3 and were sat at a small table, no chargers. The table next to us was for a larger party and it had 2-4 chargers that pop up out of the table

They are not at every seating area. Seemed pretty random as to which tables had them and didnt. I saw a CM hand out a charging cord for someone to use once too.

They are likely at tables that coincide with previously existing floor receptacles. Yes, they did quite a bit of interior remodeling and re-theming in the lounge, but saw-cutting the slab, running new conduit and new circuits, then restoring the slab (not to mention the additional time to pull permits, add inspections, and do the work) was probably a bridge too far budget and time-wise, especially for a handful of USB's (no matter how convenient they might be).

There’s the added issue of USB A vs. USB C charging ports. Which should be provided? We’ve moved off USB A as devices have been upgraded, but a lot of locations with charging ports installed (hotel rooms, cars, planes) are USB A. Having to carry multiple cables can be a hassle. We’ve purchased a portable power bank that we charge up and have available to recharge phones as needed in the parks. At home, my phone seldom drops below 50% over a full 24 hours, but connecting to the sporadic wifi in the WDW parks and resorts drains the battery much more quickly.

Headed to the park today and hope to take advantage of this new lounge.

In the EPCOT lounge they provide AC adapters as well as USB cables if you need them, so you don't need to worry about the USB-A/C issue.

I guess we could consider a bag of cheez-its a meal in this economy.

If only they had those when we went. They were at Epcot but at MK it was Lays SC &Onion which DS wouldn’t touch.

We were shocked they had nature valley bars since they are so messy. But they were pretty good, hadn’t had one in years! (At MK)

Chocolate chip cookies that DS said were terrible, apple chips (nice surprise) and the sour cream and onion chips for us

We visited the lounge twice last week. Both days had wait lists.

Day 1 at 11:45 am - Party in front us of were told it was going to be about an hour wait and they were safe to use their LL for Splash Mountain. We checked in and were told to hang around Frontierland as it shouldn't be too long with MMBY. The return text came eight minutes later. We stayed for about thirty minutes - enough time to have a bag of chips and a few drink refills. Snacks were Doritos, regular Lays, sour cream and onion chips and a teddy grahams type snack. There were about six-eight empty tables.

Day 2 at 2:00 pm - Party in front of us were told it was going to be a 2-3 hour wait. We checked in and were told to hang around Frontierland as it shouldn't be too long with MMBY. The return text came six minutes later. We stayed for about forty-five minutes as it was decently warm outside and I needed to cool off. Snacks were sour cream and onion chips, apple chips and a chocolate chip cookie. We did not have any snacks this time around, just drinks. All tables were filled. It was nice to visit during this timeframe as we got to cool down and then walk right outside and catch the 3:00 parade.

Several hours saved, that's worth the $100 right there!

 

[DonMacGregor]

Visted it at 2:00 this afternoon. There was a wait list (didn't ask how long). CM scanned my Magic Band, said "Oh, you have Beyond, so you'll go to the top of the list". A minute later, I got my text that our table was ready.

I hope I'm wrong, but the cynical part of me sees Disney reading your post and thinking, "well, since they think that several hours saved is worth $100, do you think that they will think it's worth $200? Maybe $500? Maybe more???"

Oh, it’s definitely going up in price a lot next year. I think $200 is the baseline, possibly more.

Idk what my ceiling would be for buying MMBY, but $200 is probably it.
