LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. (December 21, 2018) – Disney has announced plans for a new dining and fireworks package for Disney Vacation Club members. It includes reserved seating for a party of up to 6 at The Wave at the Contemporary Resort. After dinner you are escorted to the Top of the World Lounge at the adjoining Bay Lake Tower for drinks, desert, and a reserved seat for the nightly Magic Kingdom fireworks.
The price is $59 person for a prix-fixe menu at the Wave that starts one and one-half hours before the nightly fireworks show at the Magic Kingdom. The new dining package begins January 14 and is slated to run nightly through June 30. There are some blackouts around Easter and Mother’s Day.
The news has some DVC Members concerned that this means the end of a highly-valued Member benefit, and it appears there is good cause to be concerned. For at least the past half-dozen years, access to the Top of the World Lounge to view the Magic Kingdom fireworks has been a benefit that could be enjoyed at no added cost by any DVC Member staying at WDW resorts. Those days appear to be ending.
The DVC Member website list the free access as ending on December 29. There is no information on the website regarding extending the benefit into 2019. The smart bet is this benefit is going away – at least until next July
