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.

McKim’s Mile House replaces the Frontierland Shootin' Arcade which closed earlier this summer.

What to Expect at McKim’s Mile House

McKim’s Mile House is designed as a cozy and convenient spot for Members and their guests to recharge.

Highlights of the lounge include:

  • Comfortable seating perfect for taking a break.
  • Complimentary soft drinks with Coke Freestyle machines available (personal cups not allowed).
  • Wi-Fi and charging cords available upon request, first-come, first-served.
  • A children’s entertainment area to keep kids engaged while parents relax.
  • On-site Member Services for assistance with DVC-related questions.

Location and Access

  • The lounge will be located in Frontierland at Magic Kingdom in the former Shootin' Arcade building.
  • Hours of operation are yet to be announced.
  • Access requires a valid DVC Membership Card and photo ID.
  • Members can bring up to four guests or the number of guests listed on their resort reservation.
  • Theme park admission is required to enter Magic Kingdom.

Important Policies

    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...

    …just too easy on this one

    I'm confused. Is it a good idea to sell DVC timeshares to children and criminals? I know times are tough for Mickey, but maybe this is pushing it.

    You can’t properly get the muscles cooled down after an intense 3 am sesh on the vert without one

    He takes two showers a day. He's got an empire to bungle, no time for long hot sensual baths.

    Hot Baths? A special additional feature added at the request of Bob Iger? ;)

    Likely not. I don't plan to arrive until about 4:45 today given work obligations.
