  This place is great if you want to have a great view of magic Kingdom during the fireworks. I've heard it's hard to get a reservation and I can imagine why, it's not a huge place and it's located at a very popular location. The drinks are good but a quite over priced. The food is ok again but severely over priced for what it is with the only thing priced appropriately is the 7 layer chocolate cake which can be shared as it is quite large. The pretzel everyone mentions is good but again way very over priced. The server we had was very nice and even offered us to box the second cake included with the wicked wind down to take home. He did forget that I requested no ice in my first drink and i had to request water refills and soda refills several times and wasn't very fast at bringing the drinks, but he was pleasant overall. One final thing to mention is that it looks like an adult bar like nomad lounge at animal, or similar but somehow it's so noisy and the kids are rather until that it feels like you are in a kids lounge. I would go again mainly for the view and maybe a drink, but knowing what to expect helps.

  Great idea and setting, but the service was sub-par. It took over 20 minutes to receive a mocktail and another 20 minutes just to check out. The server then offered to comp the drinks, but the bill had already been prepaid. Overall, a very disappointing experience.

  My one-star review is likely premature. Never got to taste the food, expensive the service or atmosphere. We were asked to wait for tables to be clean and the bartender to 'catch-up'. All while we couldn't order a drink while we sit outside the lounge on the patio. 20 minutes later the 'lounge' was half empty with tables still not clean and my party is still outside waiting to order a drink. Not again....DVC continues to disappoint.

  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!
