Top of the World Lounge – A Villains Lair

Posted: Saturday June 25, 2022 4:15pm ET by WDWMAGIC Staff

Top of the World Lounge officially reopens on July 11 at Disney's Contemporary Resort as the "Villains Lair" following the special hard-ticket event, the "Bound to be Bad" Fireworks Party on July 8-10.

Though long gone by now, it seems Disney Villains briefly settled in while the lounge was closed, leaving behind a few infamous portraits and accessories.

Disney cast embraced this latest chapter in the lounge’s ongoing story by creating a new, Villain-inspired menu – from “Cherna-Board” of meats and cheeses and herb-roasted “Unfortunate Souls Shrimp” to “Lair-Made Hummus” and “Who’s Afraid of Pork Belly Sliders” – paired with cleverly named cocktails like “The Other Side,” “The Underworld” and “Mirror Mirror Moonshine.”

Does TOTWL play the soundtrack for the party shows like MVMCP fireworks?

There are two ways to get up to the Lounge. 1. Guarantee your place by booking and paying for Wicked Wind Down. 2. Go to the podium from 5:45pm and put your name on a list to just go up. They’ll text when there’s a table. And I believe just before the fireworks they let people up too just for the terrace. Still gotta have that blue card though. You need to be “blue card” eligible to go to either. According to the rules you cannot take other guests up 7s less they’re staying with you. Not sure if that is a hard and fast rule.

I'm confused about the Wicked Wind Down. We are owners at Bay Lake Tower and going down tomorrow. On Wednesday our friends staying at Caribbean who are not DVC members wanted to go to the Top Of The World Wednesday night with us to watch fireworks and grab some food. I believe there is a Wicked Wind Down event. Can we still get in? Can they come in with us? Do they kick people out at a certain time to make space for the people coming for the event? Our friends have 3 adults and 3 kids in their party. Anyone have any info around this?

It’s a video that shows both Epcot and TotWL.

Maybe I missed something? The ad, is for the member lounge at Epcot, right? Not the Top of the World Lounge at BLT. TotWL is villain themed. Epcot lounge is not.
