Can someone give me more info on Top of the World. What time do more people get there? If we have family staying with us in a villa, 9 total can we all go?
Thanks, Erika

Good spots are along the front of the viewing area facing Magic Kingdom along the concrete wall. Children and short adults cannot see the castle either unless they are over 5 feet. Further back unless you are over 6 feet tall you cannot see the castle. I would be at the viewing area at least 15 minutes before the fireworks scheduled time. Actually I would go up 45 minutes before, get a drink and keep an eye on the viewing area to get a spot. During the week it usually isn't that crowded except during the DVC busy period, October through the Disney Marathon weekend in January and holidays where WDW is crowded.
BTW, the kids would be able to see the view of the fireworks better from the north elevator lobbies on any floor 8 and above. There is no music though. Some watch it on the bridge but they do restrict the number of people on the bridge if it gets too crowded. And it can be very windy on the bridge. Others watch it from the parking lot.
Have you considered getting a theme park view 2BR?
Everyone staying in the same room can go, but the member must be present.
The lounge opens at 5pm, I think. If you’re asking, “what time do we need to show up to get a good spot for fireworks viewing,” then that depends on a lot of factors; what constitutes a “good spot,” when are the fireworks that night, what time of year are you going, and is there a special show that evening.

Technically, they are not on your reservation, but on a separate reservation.Is it just those in the same room? My parents will be in a separate studio but it's also on our points. If we all go over to the lounge together, can everyone come in? I think they'd like it, and I've never been.

That is a question I was wondering. They are still your guests. I would think if you are accompanying them they could go up to TOTWL. I doubt if they could get up there by themselves. In the past we have taken family staying in separate room to TOTWL. But the wording has changed to "on your reservation" so that could really change. I would call DVC and ask.
Disney has a habit of using vague terms in their policies. I suspect they’d allow your parents to accompany you to the lounge.Even though I made the reservation with my points and I still control the reservation? Interesting distinction, since I still consider them my guests. Thanks for the info so I can plan accordingly. Maybe a visit the day they aren't there.
