Restore The Imagination Pavilion to its former glory.

What would be insanely wild is if they tried to restore not only the top area but also tried running a restored magic journeys. I would be interested to see if a new generation wets their trousers after the infamous witch scene.
Confirmed elevator work.
The EPCOT DVC Member Lounge name change is now showing on the Disney Vacation Club website, along with a new description:

Relax and unwind at the original Member Lounge atop the Imagination! Pavilion at EPCOT, now with a new name: Disney Vacation Club ImaginAtrium – A Member Lounge! This complimentary space for eligible Members features an engaging new exhibit of archival photos and images, and more.

The previous "temporarily closed due to a scheduled refurbishment" statement has been removed.

Sadly only one word is needed to describe this new lounge at disney. Take it away stone cold.

FYI, it just changed back to the previous version of the page along with it mentioning the closure.
For a company that is dead set on building on existing land rather than expanding, they sure do waste a lot of space for nonsense like this.
Honest question...
Does Epcot really need a DVC lounge? Are there not enough places in Epcot to sit and "recharge?"
Are these lounges busy? Even if I had DVC, I don't think I'd say, "lets go take a break in the DVC Lounge"

It was nice to sit in air conditioning, recharge phones and have a (free) drink and snacks.
We waited maybe 15 minutes to go up.
This taking 4+ months to complete is crazy. Hoping it will be back up in 3 weeks when we go, we enjoy sitting down and getting free drinks and charge the phones for 10-15 minutes
I know they do these because they don't want to spend money on anything else. But this needs to stop. All the spaces inside the parks need to be open to all guests.

It’s paid for by DVC marketing.

I guess you’re against Club 33 and the corporate lounges too.

Aside from the free drinks and snacks...(which could essentially be done at any quick service place by showing ID), doesn't Communicore Hall offer that same thing?
That's prime real estate in a pavilion that's being utilized for essentially very few to give them a free drink and some AC.
