Top of the world status

[ScarSimone]

Is it open, and is it open to all blue card members (those not staying at BLT)?

TIA

 

[zavandor]

Not opened yet and Disney said nothing about its future.

Staffing is a HUGE issue. Very low priority also.

 

[DeeCee735]

What a bummer. Was looking forward to it.

 

[BillPA]

Anyone know if you can still go up to watch the fireworks, even though the "bar" is closed?

 

[MakiraMarlena]

no, it's all closed.

 

[BillPA]

Thanks, bummer, the Grand kids enjoy watch from the deck. Looks like I wasted points to book BLT.

Is California Grille still open-? If so can the fireworks be viewed from there? I actually never ate there. If we dine in Steakhouse 71 would we be able to go up to the balcony at CG to watch the fireworks? TIA

No, Steakhouse 71 does not offer access to the CG deck. You have to be a CG customer to get access there.

Thank you. We will park hop into MK ( if available) to see fireworks.

As of last week, still closed and no word if/when it will reopen.

I have never experienced this but I thought I had heard you can view them from the walkway between the Contemporary and Bay Lake Tower. 4th floor, maybe? Can anyone confirm?

 

[holden]

Yes. You can see the fireworks from the walkway and the ground below. You can’t see the castle projections.

Curious how top of the world fits into BLT's annual dues. Not an owner there, but does it being closed affect dues in anyway? I'd assume if it did, it'd be minuscule.

It's a commercial space which is not funded by dues.

Are you sure I thought it was funded by the membership as a whole actually not a standard commercial space.

My understanding is that it's leased as a commercial space by DVC (maybe by the BLT Condo Association, not certain) to a different Disney division.

It's a commercial unit.

It's a commercial unit.
