McKim’s Mile House | Disney World

Last Updated on: January 3rd, 2025

DVC Lounge Magic Kingdom McKim's Mile HouseMcKim’s Mile House is an upcoming Disney Vacation Club (DVC) member-exclusive lounge set to open in Magic Kingdom’s Frontierland by summer 2025.

Replacing the former Frontierland Shootin’ Arcade, this new retreat draws inspiration from Gold Rush-era boarding houses, offering a rustic ambiance for members to relax and recharge during their park visit.

The lounge is named in honor of Disney Legend Sam McKim, a former Western film actor turned Imagineer, whose artistic contributions significantly shaped iconic areas of Frontierland and beyond.

Amenities at McKim’s Mile House will include comfortable seating, complimentary soft drinks via Coke Freestyle machines, Wi-Fi access, charging stations, and a children’s entertainment area. A dedicated Member Services team will also be available on-site to assist guests.

Access to the lounge requires a valid DVC Membership Card and photo ID, with members permitted to bring up to four guests or the number listed on their resort reservation. Theme park admission to Magic Kingdom is necessary and not included with lounge access.

As the first DVC member-exclusive space within Magic Kingdom, McKim’s Mile House aims to provide a cozy and convenient retreat, blending historical charm with modern comforts for DVC members and their guests.

I started this site when I came to the realization that I spent a significant portion of my day reading articles about Disney and watching Disney content with my 8-year old, so it made sense that I would start sharing some of what I read and see and building a little community around it.
