Discover a new Member “space” at Disneyland Park: More than just a place to relax, recharge and refresh, Disney Vacation Club Star View Station – A Member Lounge in Tomorrowland at Disneyland Park, encourages exploration, with artwork and artifacts representing the space-age optimism that fueled Walt Disney and his legendary Imagineers in their pursuit of great big beautiful tomorrows. And very soon (assuming construction progress continued as planned after this magazine hit the press), the lounge will add an immersive new “space” for Members to explore. It’s a full-scale model room representing accommodations at The Villas at Disneyland Hotel. So if you haven’t yet had an opportunity to step inside the newest Disney Vacation Club Villas at Disneyland Resort, be sure to ask if the model room is open for exploration during your next visit to the lounge.
