Wicked Greetings, Casey!
Welcome to planDisney, and thank you so much for stopping by to ask the Mirror Mirror On The Wall your question. How exciting that you will soon be enjoying your Disney vacation and getting to enjoy
Top Of The World Lounge - A Villains Lair Atop Bay Lake Tower at the Contemporary Resort. It's a fiercely fabulous way to experience Disney, and a spellbinding way to enjoy the evening fireworks.
Casey, I just confirmed with
Disney Vacation Club that if you have reservations for the Enchantment At The Top Dessert Party, you do not have to check in at 6:00 p.m. This time is for Guests who do not have the Wicked Wind Down or Enchantment At The Top Dessert Party reservations, which guarantee access to the lounge.
For those eligible Disney Vacation Club Guests without reservations, lounge access is first-come, first-served. When the lounge opens at 6:00 p.m., it is recommended that Guests without reservations arrive at that time, as the lounge does get busy and can go to a waitlist.
But, since you have a confirmed booking, you just need to arrive 90 minutes prior to the fireworks scheduled for that evening, which at the moment are
scheduled to begin at 10:00 p.m. on August 1st (subject to change). Your 90-minute window is right at 8:30 p.m., and since this is your reservation time, I would recommend arriving a bit early, like at 8:00 p.m. or 8:15 p.m. When you arrive, be sure to bring your Digital ID and photo ID, and be sure your entire party is with you at check-in.
I hope you enjoy the devilishly delicious delights and the fiendish festivities. It will be the funnest of them all! If you have any further Disney vacation planning questions, stop back here to see me, and I'll be so happy to help you.
Villainously Yours,
Keri
