Is there a limit to the number of people we can bring with us?

Yes. People must be staying on your reservation, in your traveling party. So, if they're in a different room, you have to be the one who booked it.

Do you need the blue dvc card or it tmagic band good?

Need a member card. No Magic Band access. It is not available for guests without their DVC member present, or for those renting points or staying on cash who are not DVC members.

Availability

This special access to Top of the World Lounge is available on a first-come, first-served basis until the lounge reaches capacity. As the lounge is particularly popular during the Magic Kingdom fireworks, arriving as early as possible will give Members the best chance of gaining admission.

If your guests have a different reservation number, technically, they are not on your reservation and may be denied access to the lounge.

You either need a blue card or a print or picture on your phone of the digital blue card or white resale card.
Some people have reported getting in on magic bands only, but chance you'll be turned away.

Are you sure? I have a 2bedroom and a studio at BWV for my family. Each room has it's own ressie number. So that means I can't take my family in. I don't believe that. can't be right.

IMO they will probably let you in. TOTWL is paid for by the BLT owners and Disney makes money from the lounge sales, I don't see them not wanting to make money. Access is all up to the CM at the check in desk. Sometimes they want ID, sometimes, member cards, sometimes just an MB will do.

If you booked with your points, it is your reservation. People here always remind renters that the point owner owns the reservation.

I have never had even the hint of a problem bringing friends who are staying in a studio I booked to TTOTW with me.
