Signage Installed for DVC Lounge at EPCOT, Iconic Walter Peregoy Elevator Shaft Repainted

A few changes have arrived at the Imagination! Pavilion in EPCOT: new signage has been installed for the refurbished DVC Lounge, and the elevator shaft designed by Imagineer Walter Peregoy has been painted in a new color scheme.

New DVC Lounge Signage

New signage for the Disney Vacation Club ImaginAtrium – A Member Lounge has been added to a podium at the bottom of the stairs leading up to the space. The new name for the lounge was revealed in August.

A sign reading "Disney Vacation Club ImaginAtrium A Member Lounge" is mounted on a wall at the corner of a countertop.

The sign is a rectangle with rounded edges, and is a cool blue color. The wordmark for the ImaginAtrium is white, along with the rest of the text.

The new signage is also present on a tall beam at the bottom of the stairs leading up to the lounge.

Once open, the Disney Vacation Club ImaginAtrium will feature an “engaging new exhibit of archival photos and images,” comfortable seating, complimentary soft drinks, a children’s entertainment area, Wi-Fi, and member services advisors. The lounge will be open daily from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.

While checking out the new signage, we also noticed that the elevator shaft up to the lounge, which features the style of Disney Imagineer Walter Peregoy, had been repainted in a new color scheme. Much of the original Imagination! pavilion was in Peregoy’s art style, such as the load area mural for the original Journey Into Imagination.

The above photo shows what the elevator shaft looked like before the newest update. As you can see, the panels were completely white.
