Overall Rating: 2 Stars
The latest in the new wave of premium entertainment/dining experiences, the Tomorrowland Skyline Lounge is the most budget-friendly option providing tasty desserts and an unbelievable view over Tomorrowland. Plus you can see the nightly fireworks from the balcony while you relax in comfort - the only way to enjoy the show sitting down!

Atmosphere: 3 Stars
You're not going to get a better view of Tomorrowland as you can from the Tomorrowland Skyline Lounge! All the seats for the show are front-row seats as well so you can watch the fireworks from the comfort of the couches and benches. There are plenty of plugs and some common cables available so you can charge your devices. This is also the only entertainment/dining experience that allows you to come and go as you please and offer such a large unlimited assortment of family-friendly beverages. Right before the fireworks go off Mickey and Minnie come out to greet all their guests - an added perk!
The only down side is the overall aesthetics (yes, in that way I'm a snob). The furniture is all white while the building is metallic navy and they are all clearly cheap futons and fake plants. For such a premium experience, you sometimes expect more.
Also, during the fireworks, the music is not as loud as at the other viewing locations which means that you can hear the fireworks as they go off and you can't really see any of the projections on the castle or the Matterhorn. That is a bit of a disappointment when this is one of the main things they advertise for the lounge.

Food Quality: 2 Stars
The selection changes every so often, but the food they offer is pretty good just nothing spectacular. You can sum it all up as a cheese plate and, in our instance, high-class Hostess snacks (we basically had Ding-Dongs, Zingers, Twinkies, and pies). They're all very tasty, but don't really seem to match the price point.
Value: 2 Stars
As I mentioned, this is the cheapest of these experiences, but $45 per person is still a pretty penny. There are a lot of things about this experience that are first rate and remarkable, but you may find yourself wondering afterwards if it was really worth all the money, especially if you're traveling with a large group or family. If you can, this is a unique adventure that you'll remember but it may be the only time you splurge on it.
