ANAHEIM, Calif. – Disney Vacation Club announced the opening date of the first-ever Member Lounge at the Disneyland Resort in California on April 19, 2023. Called “Disney Vacation Club Star View Station – a Member Lounge,” this sleek, new space is in the heart of Tomorrowland at Disneyland park.
Inspired by Walt Disney’s optimistic vision for the future, the lounge sports a retro-inspired yet modern aesthetic featuring a variety of murals designed by Disney Legends such as Mary Blair, John Hench and Herbert Ryman. The lounge is also home to historic Disney gems, such as the K7 Space Suit worn by the Tomorrowland Astronauts during the early years of Disneyland, and the Space Station S-1 Model from the “Disneyland” television series.
Members can enjoy several amenities, including a dedicated Disney Vacation Club Member Services team, comfortable seating, complimentary Wi-Fi, device-charging stations and complimentary soft drinks. The new lounge is available for eligible* Disney Vacation Club members with valid theme park tickets and reservations to Disneyland Park.
Special member spaces have long been part of what Disney Vacation Club proudly calls “Membership Magic.” These member-favorite locations include the Top of the World Lounge atop Bay Lake Tower at Disney’s Contemporary Resort and the Member Lounge inside the iconic glass pyramid of the Imagination! Pavilion at EPCOT, both at Walt Disney World Resort.
“It is no secret that our members are at the heart of everything we do at Disney Vacation Club,” said Bill Diercksen, senior vice president and general manager of Disney Vacation Club. “With the overwhelming popularity of our member lounges in Walt Disney World Resort, we are thrilled to expand more Membership Magic experiences to our members and their families on the West Coast as we prepare to open our newest proposed resort, The Villas at Disneyland Hotel this fall.”
The Villas at Disneyland Hotel will be the 16th Disney Vacation Club property and the newest tower at the Disneyland Hotel when it opens in September 2023. The resort will feature 344 themed accommodations, including duo studios, deluxe studios, one- and two-bedroom villas, and grand villas. Each themed room will be inspired by creative storytelling and Disney history with contemporary designs and pixie dust sprinkled throughout, including unique touches from Walt Disney Studios animated classics like “The Jungle Book,” “Sleeping Beauty,” “The Princess and the Frog,” “Fantasia” and more.
Today, there are a total of 15 Disney Vacation Club properties across four states, including Disney’s Riviera Resort, the newest Disney Vacation Club property at Walt Disney World Resort, the recently expanded Villas at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa and Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa in Ko Olina, Hawaii.
