McKim's Mile House DVC Lounge in Frontierland Concept Art

Posted: Monday November 18, 2024 2:00pm ET by WDWMAGIC Staff

Disney Vacation Club Members will soon have a new place to relax at Magic Kingdom. Opening by summer 2025, McKim’s Mile House will bring a rustic retreat to the heart of Frontierland, offering a welcome break during a day at the parks.

This new lounge is the first DVC Member-exclusive space in Magic Kingdom and is inspired by the boarding houses that served travelers during the Gold Rush era. Its name pays tribute to Disney Legend Sam McKim, a Western film actor turned Imagineer, whose artistic vision helped shape many of Frontierland's most iconic locations.

We were just there a couple of weeks ago, and I was astonished at the number of DVC Employees we counted, 10 total. With that being said, there were about 15 total guests. Some looked like they had been there for quite some time, from the number of paper cups stacked on the table. The theme inside was lackluster, and the feel of the room was like a bad Cracker Barrel that was going out of business. Overall all we prob won't be going back to it anytime soon

We really enjoyed having access to this. Their snacks are better than Epcot’s!

At least this sign seems sort of old school Disney.

Every other timeshare presentation scam in Orlando/Kissimmee promises free/cheap park tickets for WDW-I am betting that DVC doesn't. 😄

This is a good point. Unknowing guests walk up to this place and hopefully there is a CM there and they ask what is this place and the CM says is a lounge exclusively for DVC members, then the guest asks, “what is DVC?” It there a DVC sales booth in there or near by? This sounds like a missed opportunity! EDIT: Oh maybe this: Unknowing guests walk up to this place and hopefully there is a CM there and they ask what is this place and the CM says is a lounge exclusively for DVC members, then the guest asks, “what is DVC?” The CM answers, "I am glad you asked. Right this way please" ;)

"Gotta rob the stagecoach and pay a yearly fee to the mayor before you can come on in!"

Is there any signage on the outside advising that it's a DVC-only lounge? That "Youngins and Outlaws" sign would confuse the casual visitor who's not up on the latest news...
