    As DVC members, we try to visit Top Of The World Lounge each time we stay at Bay Lake Tower. We hadn’t been here in about three years, and some of the processes to get up to the lounge had changed, which unfortunately wasted about 45 minutes of our time before we got to our table. However, Jalen (the Hostess), Travis (our Server) and Patricia (the Manager) did their best to improve our overall experience, which we greatly appreciated, especially since we were dining here for my birthday. The food was good, but not the best we’ve had at Disney. The reason we come here is for the incredible view and experience of the Magic Kingdom fireworks, with a private viewing area for Wicked Wind Down guests. I strongly recommend making reservations ahead of time for Wicked Wind Down to ensure you get a table. It is well worth it for the money, about $55+ tax & tip/guest, as you get a good sized appetizer, an adult beverage (or alcohol-free, if you prefer) and a large piece of a delicious layer cake. I also strongly recommend getting seated an hour before the fireworks start, to ensure your food does not get cold while you are outside watching the fireworks. Better communication is definitely needed from the moment you make the reservation to the evening you arrive at Bay Lake Tower to attend the event. We never even received a confirmation email, so I was not 100% sure we were even on the list. Signage in the lobby would be extremely helpful, advising guests to go up the elevator to the 16th floor to check in. With that said, the staff here works hard to give you a good experience, and Jaylen, Travis and Patricia saved the evening for us. Thank you all!
