The Villain’s Lair is a DVC Exclusive Lounge at Disney’s Contemporary Resort. Most do not know this lounge exists. In fact, if you were to search the Walt Disney World website it won’t come up. This lounge was rethemed and given a new back story after the 2020 closures. When Disney closed the Top of the World Lounge in Bay Lake Tower, Disney’s favorite villains moved in. What did they do in their secret hideaway, we’ll discuss all their evil happenings of course. They eventually moved on leaving behind artwork decorating the space and the recipes for their favorite cocktails and small bites. Many would have expected the furnishings and artwork left behind to be thrown about or torn to shreds. But if you know anything about the Disney Villains, you know they all prefer a demure, high class experience worthy of their stature and that classy vibe remains for members to enjoy.
If you are a DVC member this lounge is a must try. Being only a quick Monorail ride from the Magic Kingdom you gain access to this lounge through Bay Lake Tower. You will take the elevator to the top and ask if they have any availability. Keep in mind you will have to show your electronic DVC membership and provide an ID at the desk. A very kind cast member helped us reload our electronic card into our phone’s wallet as it doesn’t automatically port over when you change phones.
The views from this lounge are breath taking and if you time your experience right this is an amazing place to enjoy the Magic Kingdom fireworks. We tried the Man in the Forest cocktail which was delightful, and we were never rushed from the lounge. I’m sure if there is a waitlist of people, they may try to encourage things along, but we were encouraged to stay as long as we’d like. Cast members noted that they tend to get busy as the time for the fireworks near. If your goal is to watch the fireworks then make sure to arrive early.
