Top of the World Lounge - A Villains Lair

Perched atop Disney’s Contemporary Resort, the Top of the World Lounge – A Villains Lair is a sleek, villain-themed lounge that serves up Californian-style small plates and wickedly creative cocktails. The space is all glass, giving you an unobstructed, 360-degree view of the Magic Kingdom skyline—perfect for catching the nightly fireworks while sipping something sinister. The vibe is a mix of upscale lounge comfort and playful mischief, with dark décor, subtle nods to classic Disney villains, and a playlist that leans toward moody, lounge-y beats.

Because it’s a Disney Vacation Club exclusive, the lounge operates on a first-come, first-served basis from 6 p.m. to midnight. You won’t find a formal reservation system here, but the moment you step onto the floor you’ll notice the bar’s open-concept layout and the coveted corner tables that line the panoramic windows. Those spots not only give you the best firework view but also a quieter spot to enjoy the “Cunning Concoctions” without the main-lounge buzz. The menu is limited to appetizers (the “Fiendish Fare”) and drinks (the “Cursed Concoctions”), but each item is crafted to feel like a secret you’ve uncovered.

Top of the World is a must-stop for Disney-savvy adults who want a cocktail with a view and don’t mind the first-come hustle; it’s less about a full dinner and more about a memorable nightcap with a villainous twist.
