Disney’s Riviera Resort at Walt Disney World is the newest Disney Vacation Club Resort and it has everything you could want and more!
Each resort at Walt Disney World Resort has it’s pros and cons, but it all depends on what is important to YOU for your vacation.
I’ve come up with 5 reasons to love Disney’s Riviera Resort
1 Skyliner Access
Disney’s new mode of transportation is not only efficient – it’s fun too!! I am in awe of the Disney Skyliner and how quickly it can move you from point A to point B. With it’s own Skyliner station you can get to Hollywood Studios and Epcot with ease. Want to mix things up and dine at a different resort?
You can get to:
Disney’s Art of Animation Resort
Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort
2 The Villas
Granted I only stayed in the 1 bedroom villa, but there are some new options at this resort including a studio that sleeps 2! It’s nice if you’re doing a solo trip to have the option of a smaller studio.
The 1 bedroom was gorgeous though. All the amenities we needed plus som bright windows, a balcony with a view and as many USB stations as I could use!! The big soaker tub, the shower and the beds were so comfy! Check out the full room tour here:
3 Character Dining
At the top of Disney’s Riviera Resort you have the Breakfast a la Art with Mickey and Friends character dining experience. Let me tell you – it was so much fun!
The food was delicious – and so well themed. The ‘art’ theme was all throughout the meal. Look at how the pastries came out
Check out our art supplies!
The characters all has specific back stories and fabulous outfits.
Minnie is a poet, Mickey is a painter, Donald is a sculptor and Daisy is a dancer!
4 The Views
The rooftop terrace is something to see – we got a chance to go out and explore after breakfast and those views are breathtaking!!
Wouldn’t you love to relax here one night?
Being able to see the Tower of terror off in the distance, and look down on Caribbean Beach – see the Swan and Dolphin? You won’t find views like this anywhere else!
Dinner at Topolino’s and staying till fireworks time – you’ll see Hollywood Studios AND Epcot from up here!

5 The Art – So Much WALT
The art work at Disney’s Riviera resort is right up my alley. I love all of the classics that are represented
Gorgeous painting of the castle.
What struck me the most aside from the classic Disney paintings was the amount of pictures of Walt Disney and his family. These pictures are so unique and show him on vacation, smiling, dreaming. This is the man that created it all – and it’s wonderful to see his presence in this new resort.
What do you think? Will this be on your list to stay at Disney’s Riviera Resort?

I’ll add proximity to other Walt Disney World resorts for another reason to love Disney’s Riviera Resort. I love that it’s a hop, skip and a jump over to Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort or to Disney’s Art of Animation or Pop Century Resorts. Resort hopping for food, drinks and shopping is one of my favourite activities at Walt Disney World.
Absolutely agree! Resort hopping for food and shopping is always a great way to spend an evening
We have been a few times now and have always stayed in All Stars… but our next visit will be to the Riviera site…I’m looking forward to an Adults version this time as our children are all grown up now….
I’m still a big kid myself so I expect I’ll be just as looney as always…
Adults only Disney vacations are such a different experience. We all get to be big kids and have fun 🙂 I hope you enjoy your time at Riviera!
