Pros: Decent Food and Drink
Cons: Expensive and overhyped decor. (Yes it's nice, but it's not spaceship earth shattering).

Commentary: I got an ADR for a group of 3 on 7/4 about 3 hours before the window. We were late by 20 minutes because of the rain and the CM at the checkin was passive aggressive annoyed with us for being late. We made no expectations about even getting seated, in fact we said if we missed our window it's tough luck on our part. But we were never the less seated but the whole exchange was very un-Disney like. Surprisingly when we made it up top, it was more than 50% empty, and throughout of 65 minutes there it didn't get any busier at all. But they made sure to remind guests that you could only be there for 75 minutes multiple times which I thought was kind of tacky. Once at the checkin desk and once at seating is enough, but to do so multiple times by multiple CMs was weird. We did wind up with the primo fireworks viewing table. But it must be odd during the viewing because of the layout if other people gather around the windows. You really don't get that fantastic of a view of the fire works. Also it's a very tiny venue. I don't know what the SSE Corporate Lounge layout was prior, but this didn't seem like the changed it that much, other than new decor, paint, and fixtures.

Also it tends to attract narcissists who spend more time taking selfies of themselves in the venue than actually looking around and appreciating it.

Would I do it again?
Eh...Maybe?

So sorry you didn't enjoy it. It doesn't sound like the place for you, maybe? It's probably meant more for us narcissists who like to take selfies and feel joyful in our surroundings. I can't figure out how you knew what the fireworks show would look like as you sat there in the middle of the day though.

When you spend more time with the phone to your face taking selfies than interacting with the people around you, you're a narcissist.

Remember the large part of Luminous that involves the barge water and pyro effects? How many barges can you see from that picture?


Get a grip duster.

Obviously the view from the lounge takes priority over everything. How else can sell the item with the 2nd highest margin, alcohol.

What’s the first highest margin item?

Why it’s the (money for nothing, 100 percent margin) LL of course!
😉

Now if only they can find a way to sell LLs for the opportunity to buy alcohol 🤔

Maybe they will sell LLs to skip the lines to get directly into the lounge to buy alcohol?

I GOT IT! A drinking around the world LLPP in EPCOT (available only to guests staying on site and are not driving) 😉

Not to give Disney ideas but if there were Lightning Lanes for the festival food booths I would be tempted at times
