UPDATE: The Top of the World Lounge has reopened as Top of the World Lounge — A Villains Lair. You can read our full review and go inside the lounge with us here!
Disney Vacation Club Members receive all kinds of perks and benefits.
Bay Lake Tower at Disney’s Contemporary Resort
Between exclusive merchandise, discounts on dining and hotels, ride previews, and special events — there’s a lot that comes with being a DVC Member! Some of those perks are members-only lounges located in various places throughout the property, and now we know exactly WHEN one lounge is reopening!
The Top of the World Lounge at Disney’s Contemporary Resort is located at the top of Bay Lake Tower, and offers stunning views of Magic Kingdom. This Disney Vacation Club Lounge has been closed for months (though it did reopen briefly for New Year’s Eve 2021) and we knew that it would be opening “soon.”

But now, we’re happy to share that the Top of the World Lounge — A Villains Lair will be officially reopening on July 11th, 2022! Not only that, but the lounge has been completely revamped with a Disney Villains theme!

According to Disney, when the lounge closed it quickly became “a devil’s playground” for some of Disney’s worst bad guys. Members can expect “curious couture” and artwork dedicated to these baddies, along with “rebellious recipes for their cunning concoctions.”
You DON’T want to get on her bad side!
This Villains Lair will be open daily from 6PM to midnight, subject to change — and seats are on a first come, first served basis. Disney Vacation Club Members with access to Membership Extras and who are staying in Disney World Resort hotels can enjoy this exclusive spot, and guests staying on Members’ reservations are also eligible!
Disney also shared some of the food and drinks we’ll find on the menu. You’ll find the “Cherna-Board” of meats and cheeses, herb-roasted “Unfortunate Souls Shrimp”, “Lair-Made Hummus” and “Who’s Afraid of Pork Belly Sliders”. Some of the cocktails include “The Other Side,” “The Underworld,” and “Mirror Mirror Moonshine.”

I don’t have access to most DVC perks. However, my membership card says, “access to Top of the World Lounge”. Does this mean I can go?
Does anyone know if the new Villain’s Lair at The Top of World Lounge will include meet & greets?
If I’ve rented a room from a DVC member, what do I need to access the lounge?
They should just call it the Bob Chapek Lounge and be done with it lol
Elizabeth Holland, most likely not. You will probably have to show your digital DVC card on your phone which signifies that you are a DVC member with access privileges.
