Many months ago when all the details on the celebration of the Disney Vacation Club's 25th Anniversary were announced, members were excited for the exclusive member lounge opening in Epcot. After months of work, today the new Member Lounge inside Epcot's Imagination pavilion opened. The lounge will be open daily from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m.
Members will be to enter the lounge up a staircase or up the glass elevator in the ImageWorks merchandise location of the pavilion. Here guests will enter into one of the Imagination Pavilion's towering glass pyramids and sunshine-filled room with amazing views of Epcot.
In the lounge members can take a break from the parks, recharge their mobile devices, enjoy complimentary beverages (including Coca-Cola freestyle machines), Wi-Fi, computer stations, a printer, and mounted tablets where guests can access many of their favorite Disney websites. Have no fear parents there's a play area for your kids too where they can test their video game skill with Disney Infinity or watch some of the latest Disney animated shorts.
While the kids are playing, parents can speak with Member Services Advisers who are available daily to assist with dining reservations, future resort stays, and more. On the weekdays, an RCI Advisor will be available to help DVC members navigate exchange options for future vacations. Here are some pictures Disney released of the new member lounge:

Over the weekend, "Zootopia" became Disney's second film of the year to cross over the $1 Billion mark at the global box office. The film which has been a huge success since its March 4th release in theaters will be released to Blu-Ray/DVD tomorrow, June 7 in the US. Here is the press release from Disney:
“Zootopia” Crosses $1 Billion Worldwide
Walt Disney Animation Studios’ Zootopia crossed the $1 billion dollar mark yesterday, becoming Disney’s second billion-dollar release of 2016 and its 11th ever. Worldwide, it’s the No. 1 animated film of the year and just the fourth animated film ever to cross the $1 billion threshold. It’s also one of the biggest original films of all time. Among Disney Animation releases, it ranks No. 2 globally behind only Frozen.
As of June 5, Zootopia has grossed $337.2M domestically and $663.5M internationally for a global total of $1,000.7M. With a resounding 98 percent Fresh RottenTomatoes score, Zootopia has been universally embraced by audiences. It earned an A CinemaScore from domestic audiences and spent three weeks at No. 1 following its $75 million debut – the highest ever three-day opening for Disney Animation and the biggest animated opening ever in the month of March. It remained in the top 10 domestically for 13 weeks. In China, Zootopia is the highest grossing animated film of all time and Disney’s biggest release ever there, while in Russia it is the second biggest industry release ever behind only Avatar.
Zootopia is the latest in a string of major critical and commercial successes from Walt Disney Animation Studios, beginning in 2010 with Tangled ($594M) and including Wreck-It Ralph ($478M), Big Hero 6 ($658M), and of course 2013’s Frozen ($1.277B). These five films boast average RottenTomatoes scores of 91 percent and have brought in $4 billion in combined global box office.
Zootopia was released theatrically in the US/Canada on March 4 and is due out on Blu-ray, DVD, and Digital on June 7.
This is one film I never got to see in theaters and I can't wait to own it on Blu-Ray so no spoilers please, lol.
