This summer marks the return of one of Disney Vacation Club Members’ favorite places around the neighborhood: the Top of the World Lounge atop Bay Lake Tower at Disney’s Contemporary Resort.
On July 11, the lounge will officially reopen to *eligible members, which upon closer inspection, reveals a few new details.

Though long gone by now, it seems
our Disney Villains briefly settled in while the lounge was closed, leaving behind
a few infamous portraits and accessories.
Our cast embraced this latest chapter in the lounge’s ongoing story by creating a new, Villain-inspired menu of fiendish fare – 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.”
Like the villains who lounged before you, toast to your travels and relish in rebellious recipes while
swapping stories of wicked fun and plotting your next (vacation) escape before capping the evening with a rooftop viewing of the “Disney Enchantment”
nighttime spectacular at Magic Kingdom Park.
