Disney's Riviera Resort

We stayed here for a couple of nights in January 2024 while visiting Disney. We only visited Magic Kingdom on that trip so written from that perspective. The Hotel was nice, it's a Disney hotel meaning it follows a pretty standard formula, it is one of the newer ones which does make it more appealing, we found the Polynesian very dated. The room was very nice, well appointed and slept 5 which is always appreciated with Disney. Usual story for everything else really, Pool was decent, quick service food was as expected. We took our car to the parks so didn't use the Highliner. All in all a decent stay but nothing to write home about. Would we stay again, probably not, not a noteworthy hotel really.

Highly recommend this resort. Easy access to the skyliner! Great on site quick service options, amazing pools, lawn games, excellent arts and crafts staff for the kids and amazing roof top dining with firework views! Disney's fantastic service reputation is well preserved at the Riviera. We will be choosing this resort as a regular now!

I’ve stayed at a good handful of DVC resorts over the past few years (thanks to my hubby) and I think this could be right up there with my favorites! We moved here after 3 nights at Kidani (Animal Kingdom) and I felt this resort was a thousand times bigger and I just loved the grounds. In an awesome, magical pixie dust moment, we were upgraded to a one-bedroom (from a suite) — and OMG it was incredible and could have fitted 20 people! Room was clean and spacious and had everything we needed — if not more! Hubby loved Le Petit Cafe (lobby level) and Primo. Housekeeping staff were super lovely and helpful. Fabulous 1.22-mile running track with amazing views throughout! No complaints all all :)

The grounds are perfect. Clean and friendly. Can see Hollywood Studios and Epcot from parts of the hotel. It is not too spread out and has a pool area for quiet, one for family and one for kids. Good restaurants and great staff. I would definitely recommend to my friends.

One of Disney’s newest properties that screams European influence. The decor and elegance of luxury permeates the rooms. Our family stayed in a two-bedroom suite (sleeps 9), certainly bigger than most families but it was perfect for us. The living room had a large (Double/Queen size) pulldown Murphy Bed and a smaller single bed; so three people could sleep comfortably in the living room. The bathrooms and floors were marble and/or durable tile. The kitchen (full-size refrigerator with ice maker, stove/oven, and microwave) was very convenient for making meals; and the combo washer/dryer unit was convenient. The biggest positive is the resort’s proximity to the Skyliner with access to Hollywood Studios and EPCOT. Pros: Smells Nice Kitchen/Beds/Suite Pools (two pool areas, plus a kids splash pad) Skyliner Clean Coffee Shop/cafe Adult Bar Walk to Caribbean Beach Decor/Bougie Theming Able to see Epcot fireworks Running Trail Washer/Dryer 2-bedroom Suite/space/living room beds Balconies Fitness Room Outdoor Activities (Bocce Ball court/Connect Four/Chess) Feels like a compact resort (everything is close) Cons: Decor (may be too Bougie; doesn’t feel like “Disney”) Small Lobby/Too Loud/Crowded Check-in Small restaurant Small convenience store but does have all the bare necessities anyone might need. No bus when Skyliner is Out of Service Food options in cafe

Really enjoyed our stay here. This has quickly become my favorite Disney resort. Super easy to get to Epcot and Hollywood studios via the skyline. Buses to magic kingdom Are frequent and the ride is only @ 10 mins. The rooms are super comfortable and spacious and modern. Great view of the Epcot fireworks at night. Staff was super friendly. Next time we go to Disney this hotel would be top of my list.
