Disney’s Riviera Resort is the newest DVC resort, and features stunning theming reminiscent of the European Riviera. Europe inspired Walt Disney and his animators for several classic films, and Disney’s Riviera Resort pays tribute to this with several murals and artwork around the resort. Disney’s Riviera Resort is also the only DVC resort to be located on the Skyliner route giving guests quick and easy access to both EPCOT and Disney’s Hollywood Studios park. Guests of Disney’s Riviera Resort love its sophistication and elegance, as well as its entertainment options and dining opportunities.
