Hello, James!
Such a treat to be able to stay at
Bay Lake Tower at Disney's Contemporary Resort. It's one of my home resorts, and the one I choose most often because of the location and the amenities. With it being a short walk right into the
Magic Kingdom theme park, and a monorail away from Epcot, it's so convenient.
The
Top of the World Lounge located at this resort is open only to
Disney Vacation Club members and guests staying on their reservation. At least one member must accompany guests staying on their reservation, so at any time, to get into the lounge, you will need someone with a DVC membership.
If you're looking for a convenient place to grab a cocktail in the evening, you can walk right over to
Disney's Contemporary Resort, where you'll find a couple of options for an adult beverage or light snack.
The Wave Lounge is a personal favorite, with the calming ocean blue vibe and delicious drinks and snacks, or you can head up to the
Outer Rim to watch sunset over Bay Lake. There's also an observation deck that will give you great views of the fireworks from the Magic Kingdom over at the Contemporary Resort.
I hope you have an absolutely wonderful time, James!
Anna
