McKim’s
The lounge is named for legendary Imagineer Sam McKim, a longtime art director for Fox who moved over to Disney in 1955, coinciding with the opening of Disneyland. McKim was well known for working on several Frontierland projects, as well as the souvenir maps that were commonly offered at Disney Parks.
Some of Imagineer Sam McKim’s art is hung on the walls at McKim’s Mile House.
The lounge features small easter eggs and references to, as well as examples of, his work.
Lots of fun art

I think it wrong that regular guest cannot go into the lounge. We paid for our ticket to get into the as well. Just like dvc members. It is just wrong. Everyone should be treated equal.
I really enjoyed McKim’s Mile House. The theming and details are amazing, and you can almost forget that you’re in the middle of Magic Kingdom while you’re there. I did wish that they had more options for snacks, like the DVC lounge at Disney Springs, but that’s not even a drawback. I’ll probably go back to McKim’s every time I’m in MK.
