Disney's Riviera Resort

We absolutely love Disney’s Riviera Resort! We’ve stayed at the Grand Floridian, Polynesian, BoardWalk, All-Star, Caribbean Beach, and Grand Californian, and Riviera is by far one of our favorites. The rooms are beautiful, spacious, and so comfortable, with thoughtful touches that make you feel at home. The location is perfect for easy access to both EPCOT and Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and the Skyliner is such a fun way to get around. The staff is always friendly and attentive, and the dining options are fantastic—definitely a highlight! Every stay here feels magical, and we can’t wait to come back. Highly recommend!

Man I love this Resort. We have stayed here now 6 times with parties of up to 10 people and everything the Resort does not disappoint. There is a lot of room. Even when we had 10 people we got a two bedroom villa and everyone slept comfortably using the Murphy beds. The Resort is right next to the skyline so getting to epcot the boardwalk and Hollywood Studios is super easy. Getting to magic kingdom isn't difficult either using disnwy transportation. And lets nit forget Disney Springs. We took the bus over there multiple times and its just a short easy trip.. the coffee shop Le Petit Cafe has great snacks and makes good coffee (not as good as Joffrey's) amd the quick service Prime Piatto is great for breakfast lunch ir dinner. Oh.. and icing on the cake is Toppolinos where the food is great whether eating breakfast or lunch. And if you do dinner you can watch the fireworks at epcot.. highly recommend staying at this resort we have stayed at many on property and its our favorite.

Our stay was absolutely magical from start to finish. We arrived early, and the staff made it seamless for us to enjoy the pool while our room was being prepared; the changing facilities were convenient and well-stocked with towels. The accommodations were impressive—the room was beautifully appointed, and our little one especially loved the Murphy beds. We appreciated the thoughtful extras like the coffee/tea setup and microwave, as well as the stunning bathroom with both a tub and shower. Our balcony offered a spectacular view of the Caribbean side of the property. A major highlight was the character breakfast with Mickey, Minnie, Daisy, and Donald in their charming French-inspired outfits. We highly recommend this resort and are already looking forward to our return next year!

This is my favorite Disney resort!! I love the convenience of the skyliner, the cleanliness and breakfast spot downstairs. Rooms- we’ve stayed in a two bedroom and a one bedroom on separate occasions. Both are great, I prefer the two bedroom due to the convenience of the second bathroom. The rooms are always clean, well appointed, and the views are great. This property feels high-end, not overly themed, but very convenient! Food- I love the lemon blueberry pancakes in the restaurant on the first floor. So much so that I learned how to make them when I got back home. However, the lack of late night food options is an opportunity area. After 10pm it becomes a food desert. Transportation- the Disney bus system works well, but the times are rarely accurate. The skyliner is a great benefit. I’ll definitely be back! See ya real soon!

When I first visited this hotel, I was underwhelmed at it’s presentation from the Skyliner. Then we ate at Topolinos and fell in love. I’ve stayed here with and without kids. It’s the perfect in between if you love Epcot and Hollywood Studios. It’s a quiet resort, which is a nice change of pace from the monorail resorts. I fully understand it’s not for everyone, but it is a quiet masterpiece if you take the time to enjoy it.

Great experience, no complaints. Resort was kept very clean, lifeguards at the pool were attentive and lots of activities for the kids. The resort also has a unique fragrance to it (you can even buy resort scented candles and scents at the resort store).

Best of the best. Hands down worth every penny . Feels more relaxed and comfortable then the other DVC resorts that are always packed and crowded! Plus the lobby smell is incredible and the specific blend they use for coffee is hands down in my opinion the best on property . Skyliner near by is of course a huge benefit as well!

We had a great experience. Our only complaint is the AC system. It requires movement in the room in order for it to operate, so it would get stuffy and warm at night while we were sleeping. We called engineering and they temporarily did something to the system to allow it to be a little cooler in the evenings. Anytime we had a request, from engineering or housekeeping, they arrived very promptly. The rooms are quite spacious, and the views on both sides are nice. There is not a ton of counter space for cooking in the kitchen area, so just something to keep in mind if you are a family that likes to cook while you’re on vacation. Highly recommend dining at Topolino’s Terrace at least one night. Yes, it is not cheap, but the food is delicious and they have a pretty incredible wine list, even by the glass. Also recommend getting coffee and a dessert or pastry from Le Petir Café. The counter service dining option is called Primo Piatto and the food and service there was very good. It can be pretty busy at the registers around 9 AM, so I would highly recommend placing a mobile order.
