Beautiful Resort and a Great Weekend Stay at WDW!
GermanyTwinsFan (Platte City, Missouri) on Feb 06, 2026
The Riviera is a beautiful resort! The food at all of the restaurants is great, which is a nice change from the food courts you typically see at other Disney resorts. The pools and activity areas were fun, and all of the Disney cast members were super nice and helpful. Plus, being on the Disney Skyliner line is a great benefit to have when visiting EPCOT or Hollywood Studios. The only negative is that our deluxe studio room was smaller than expected, which is a big deal when you consider the costs for the room. I've stayed in other WDW resorts with larger rooms and more amenities for less money, so perhaps the smaller room made this experience a little less enjoyable.
The Riviera Resort Gets it Right
chatto (Michigan) on Feb 01, 2026
For the most part, Disney's Deluxe resorts struggle to provide value for money, but the Riviera Resort has fixed many of the issues that I have found at other Deluxe properties, and if you can manage to book a stay here, I would highly recommend it over most of the other Disney properties in this class. First, the amenities at the resort are easy to access and are well curated. The quiet pool is actually quiet, and the kids pool is large enough that adults without children can still find a nice place to relax. The restaurants are varied in type, and again, easy to access without going on a backpacking adventure (Wilderness Lodge) or weaving through a crowd (Boardwalk). Bar Riva is exception, the quick service offers a great deal of variety, and Topolino's Terrace has the best food quality for character dining on property. The rooms have been developed with actual sound proofing, and the bathrooms are up to date and convenient (none of that putting the towels ten feet from the shower as at the Gran Destino. Parking is convenient, the Skyliner is convenient, and the vibe is relaxed. This resort, along with Port Orleans French Quarter, really brings value for the money.
