Disney’s Riviera Resort offers guests a luxurious European-inspired vacation with a touch of Disney magic. Whether you’re staying as a Disney Vacation Club member or just visiting for the day, there are plenty of activities to fill your day with fun and relaxation. Here are five enjoyable activities you can experience at Disney’s Riviera Resort during your stay.
Find a Friend Scavenger Hunt
Explore the beauty of Riviera Resort while participating in the Find a Friend scavenger hunt. Pascal, the lovable chameleon from Disney’s Tangled, is hiding around the resort, trying to keep out of Mother Gothel’s sight. Your mission is to locate Pascal, snap a photo, and bring it to The Eventi Room for a special surprise from a Recreation Cast Member. This daily activity is perfect for families and guests who enjoy discovering hidden details around the resort.
Skyliner Rally Scavenger Hunt
Love Disney’s Skyliner? This activity is a must-try! The Skyliner Rally Scavenger Hunt takes you on an adventure that extends beyond Riviera Resort, encouraging you to visit other resorts along the Skyliner route. You’ll pick up a clue guide from The Eventi Room and complete the scavenger hunt by spotting key locations from the gondolas. This hunt is available daily and adds an extra layer of excitement to your Riviera experience as you explore Walt Disney World’s Skyliner resorts.
Arts & Crafts and Mosaïque Art
For the creative souls, the Arts & Crafts sessions at Riviera Resort are a fantastic way to spend some downtime. Held at The Eventi Room daily, these sessions run from various times on most days, giving guests plenty of opportunities to channel their inner artist. Guests can also participate in Art de la Mosaïque, where you’ll learn how to create your own mosaic under the guidance of an instructor (pre-registration required). This instructor-led crafting class offers a perfect souvenir to remember your stay.
Poolside Activities
What’s more relaxing than poolside fun under the sun? Head over to the Riviera Pool Deck daily for games and activities in and out of the pool. Whether you’re joining in on water games or competing in some friendly poolside contests, it’s an enjoyable way to cool off while soaking in the Riviera’s relaxed atmosphere. With comfortable loungers and scenic surroundings, the pool area is the perfect place to spend a fun-filled yet relaxing afternoon.
Côte d’Azur Campfire & Movie Under the Stars
End your day with two quintessential Disney resort activities: the Côte d’Azur Campfire and Movie Under the Stars. Gather nightly around the campfire pit near the Riviera Pool for a cozy evening of roasting marshmallows and making s’mores (available for purchase). This is the perfect opportunity to relax under the stars with family and friends.
Afterward, grab a blanket and head over to the Movie Lawn for an outdoor Disney movie experience. Movies like Wish, Monsters, Inc., and WALL·E play throughout the week, offering guests a chance to unwind after a busy day
Whether you’re on a family vacation or looking for some relaxation with a touch of Disney fun, these five activities at Disney’s Riviera Resort will make your stay memorable. From creative crafting to outdoor scavenger hunts and poolside fun, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.
