Reunion Station to open at Wilderness Lodge for DVC members
A new area for Disney Vacation Club Members offering paid workshops as well as a private lounge opens April 30, 2018, at the Wilderness Lodge. Reunion Station, located at the edge of Bay Lake, is being presented as a “Membership Extra.”
The list of workshops so far will include “Disney Vacation Club Beverage Tasting Series,” “Phone Photography” and “Animation 101.” Reservations for the workshops can be made starting April 4, 2018.
Each workshop is priced at $40 a person (inclusive of tax and gratuity) and limits party sizes to a maximum of four people, including the Member. Participants younger than 18 must be accompanied by a paying, participating parent or guardian.
Here is some additional information on the workshops, according to the Disney Parks Blog:
The “Disney Vacation Club Beverage Tasting Series,” will take place on Mondays from 1:30-3 p.m. beginning May 7, is an interactive series of beverage-tasting seminars focusing on a different beverage type each week, from “Speak Easy Craft Cocktails” to “New World Wines.” Each session includes small-plate food pairings to complement the beverages served. (Other arrangements should be made for those under 21.)
During “Phone Photography,” will be presented on Tuesdays from 1:30 to 3 p.m. beginning May 8. Participants learn to expertly capture vacation photos on their phones, including the best approaches to photographing fireworks, characters, family poses and more.
“Animation 101,” will be presented on Thursdays from 1:30 to 3 p.m. beginning May 10, is led by noted Disney animator Todd Bright, whose credits include work on “The Hunchback of Notre Dame,” “Mulan” and “Tarzan.” Each week’s class explores Disney-animation history and focuses on a different animation topic.
Reunion Station will also serve as a food-and-beverage-inclusive lounge available as an add-on option for Members staying in any Disney Vacation Club accommodation type at Boulder Ridge Villas or Copper Creek Villas & Cabins at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge. Members who add this option (priced at $50 a night for adults and $33 a night for kids ages 3-9) to their vacation will enjoy pastries, fruits, cereals, juices and more from 7-10 a.m. daily, and wine, beer, cheeses, salads, soups, desserts, crudité and more from 4-6 p.m. Note that this option is available only for the entire length of stay and for every member of the traveling party.
And from 7-10 p.m. daily, Reunion Station will open its doors to all eligible Members (including those not staying at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge) for mixing and mingling. A lounge host will be on hand during these nighttime hours to answer questions and offer assistance.
