Do you feel Disney World is always packed with people? Well, I do! That’s why I like places that are quiet and peaceful on Disney property after a long day. There is one resort that is tucked away but not too far away from everything. It is Disney’s Riviera Resort.
Disney World’s Riviera Resort is a stunning and luxurious resort located in the heart of Walt Disney World in Florida. It is a perfect option for those who are looking for a luxurious accommodation. The resort offers a range of amenities, from the Riviera pool to the stunning views of the lakes and fireworks from EPCOT at night. Riviera is Mommy Lamb’s number one resort on the Disney World property.
The lobby of the resort is a large and airy space. It has a fantastic atmosphere and a great atmosphere for enjoying a few drinks and catching up with friends. The staff at the resort are friendly and accommodating, and they are always willing to help with any questions or requests.
The rooms at the Riviera Resort are modern and spacious. The beds are comfortable and the bathrooms are luxurious and well-equipped. All of the rooms have a private balcony that overlooks the pool or the golf course. The rooms come with a flat-screen TV, a mini-fridge, a microwave, and a coffee maker.
The Riviera pool is a great way to spend a relaxing day. It is an outdoor pool with a waterfall, a Jacuzzi, and a variety of water slides. The pool also has a large spa area with a sauna, steam room, and a beauty salon. In the evening, the pool is transformed into a night club with a live DJ and dancing.
The resort also has a number of restaurants and bars. Topolino’s Terrace – Flavors of the Riviera is a Signature restaurant and can be hard to book. We have visited Disney’s Topolino’s Terrace restaurant, and were absolutely blown away. The atmosphere was magical, the food was delicious, and the service was outstanding. The views of the fireworks from the terrace were breathtaking, and the music was perfect for the evening. The menu was full of delicious Italian dishes, and the wine list was extensive. The staff was friendly and attentive, and they made sure that our experience was perfect. We would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a unique and memorable dining experience.
Primo Piatto is a quick service restaurant that all three of us love. The menu is varied and offers something for everyone, from classic Italian dishes to more modern options. The staff is friendly and attentive, and the prices are reasonable. In fact, this is one of our very favorite quick service restaurants (much better than the quick service restaurant in Grand Floridian). Le Petit Café is a small cafe at the lobby and serves great coffee and desserts. We enjoy picking one dessert at a time and enjoy all the goodness it offers.
The Riviera Resort also has a variety of activities and attractions. There is a mini golf course and other outdoor activities. There is also a fitness center. Like other DVC resorts, it has Movie Under the Stars and campfire activities.
Oh, don’t forget the Disney’s Riviera Resort also is a Skyliner resort. From Riviera, you can take the Skyliner to EPCOT or Hollywood Studio. Disney’s Skyliner is a state-of-the-art gondola system that connects select Disney Resort hotels to Disney’s Hollywood Studios and the International Gateway at Epcot. The Skyliner transports guests in enclosed gondola cabins with an aerial view of Walt Disney World. The system operates on a continuous loop, with gondolas departing from the stations at regular intervals and stopping at each station along the route. Each gondola cabin can hold up to 10 guests, and is equipped with air conditioning, a fan, and a seating area. The cabins are designed to be wheelchair accessible, and feature Disney-themed artwork. The Skyliner is powered by a series of cables, which are connected to a network of towers that support the system. The cabins are propelled along the cables via a drive station at each station, which uses a motor to move the cabins along the cables. Little Lamb loves Skyliner and sometimes we just take the Skyliner over and over again- it’s like a ride for us!
Overall, the Riviera Resort is a great option for those looking for a luxurious and comfortable stay. The only downside is that it is not an inexpensive resort. In fact, it is one of the most expensive resorts, The only reason we can stay there as often as we do is because of DVC points. If you are willing to spend the money, the resort offers a great selection of amenities and activities, as well as excellent guest service. I think that the service is similar to what you would expect from the Grand Floridian Resort. I would highly recommend Riviera to anyone looking for a great place to stay at Walt Disney World.
