Disney World is a vacation destination that is well-known for its theme parks like Magic Kingdom and Hollywood Studios. But some guests still don’t realize that Disney World is so much more than just attractions and shows. Disney World is just that, a massive world containing things to do and places to stay. Staying on property during your Disney vacation can unlock even more magic, and guests don’t even have to leave resort grounds to enjoy their trip. Staying at a DVC resort means you can experience deluxe accommodations. And there’s more to do than just sleep! Here are some details that guests often overlook at Disney’s Riviera Resort.
Beautiful Grounds and Artwork
Disney’s Riviera Resort is one of the most beautifully decorated DVC resorts. Not only is it themed after the European riviera, but it is also full of Disney touches. There are murals throughout of Disney films like Tangled, and beautiful grounds to stroll through where you can enjoy a walk any time of day. The Skyliner in the air above the resort adds even more ambiance to the area.
Campfire Activities and Movies Under the Stars
There’s more to explore at Disney resorts than guests realize! Disney’s Riviera Resort is one of many deluxe resorts that feature campfire activities and movies under the stars. In select areas at these resorts guests can experience a lit campfire nightly with marshmallow kits available and Cast Members leading activities like stories and singing. Large inflatable projection screens will show a Disney movie nightly, and guests are invited to bring blankets and relax while they enjoy the film.
Le Petit Cafe
Staying at a Disney resort with its own coffee shop is a massive perk for so many guests! You won’t have to wait until you enter the parks for specialty coffee with Le Petit Cafe and their specialty drinks like the Almond Cold Brew. There are also pastries and other treats available here, and in the evening this space transforms into a bar serving specialty cocktails and late-night bites.
Skyliner Access
One detail about Disney’s Riviera Resort that you can’t overlook is the Skyliner access that you get when you stay here. The Skyliner takes you to Disney’s Hollywood Studios as well as EPCOT, and you can even make stops at other resorts like Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort. The Disney Skyliner is a huge perk as it lets you travel quickly and easily to two of the Disney parks.
Two Luxury Pools
Did you know that Disney’s Riveria Resort is home to not one, but two luxury pools? Disney’s Riviera Resort is home to a feature pool with a twisting waterslide and Fantasia themed splash zone for the kids. If you want a more leisurely experience, there is another pool that is just for relaxing with no slides or splashing.
