Disney Vacation Club lounge replacing Frontierland Shootin’ Arcade at Magic Kingdom

DVC Lounge at Magic Kingdom

Magic Kingdom Park at Walt Disney World Resort near Orlando, Fla. will open a lounge for Disney Vacation Club (DVC) members in Frontierland.

“Members will be able to unwind amidst the rustic charm of Frontierland in a new space inspired by the bygone era of exploration and adventure,” Disney said in a press release.

The DVC members lounge in Frontierland will include:

• seating areas
• Wi-Fi
• device-charging stations
• a Member Services team

Disney did not announce an opening date for the lounge. However, the current occupant of the future lounge’s space, Frontierland Shootin’ Arcade, will close June 24, 2024. Its final operating day will be June 23.

Elsewhere throughout Disney World, DVC members can visit the lounge inside the Imagination! Pavilion at Epcot, as well as the members-only Top of the World Lounge – A Villain’s Lair at Disney’s Contemporary Resort.

Frontierland Shootin’ Arcade Closing

For a fee, guests at Frontierland Shootin’ Arcade can aim “projectile-free infrared” rifles, as Disney says, at over 100 targets. The arcade’s scenery depicts a locale called Boot Hill in Tombstone, Ariz.

Frontier Shooting Gallery, as the space was originally called, opened with Magic Kingdom on Oct. 1, 1971 before becoming Frontierland Shootin’ Arcade on Sept. 24, 1984, according to D23.
