Memorable Stay

We took the kids to Disney’s Riviera Resort during spring break and had a wonderful time. The resort is a relatively new addition to the list of hotels at Walt Disney World. Though small compared to other ...Vacation Club properties, it offers a welcoming and elegant charm. The resort's design is Inspired by the French Riviera and provides a fairly classic and magical experience for all family members. The resort is located in the Epcot area and features a Skyliner station that provides easy access to Epcot and Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Initially, my husband had booked a smaller deluxe studio, but believe it or not, to our surprise, we were chosen to get upgraded to a comfortable one-bedroom villa. Ok, arrival, the cast member who assisted us and delivered our bags told us it was one of the resort’s premier rooms. What an excellent way to start a vacation! Thank you, Disney! As soon as we entered the one-bedroom villa, we were welcomed by an open floor plan and spacious room with a separate living room and kitchen, not unlike the more closed and segmented floor plan at Animal Kingdom Lodge Villas, where we stayed last time. The room features French-inspired furnishing and décor, offering an inviting and warm atmosphere for comfort and unwinding after a long day in the parks. Overall, we had a memorial stay at Riviera Resort, and we would highly recommend it for families with children.
Beautiful Deluxe Resort

We loved our stay here. We were in a deluxe studio preferred view and it was wonderful, room 8830. Rooms were clean, quiet, and spacious. There was also a little fridge and microwave for you to use. Th...e best perk about this room is the two showers. One big stand up shower and one was a tub/shower. Also ,another great perk is the skyline and the access to late night at the parks. Would stay again.
