Riviera Resort
Deluxe Resort
Resort Overview
Disney’s Riviera Resort, located near EPCOT, is a fantastic Deluxe Resort that’s sure to impress. Opened in late 2019, we had the pleasure of staying here at the end of 2022. With accommodations ranging from Tower Studios to three-bedroom villas, there’s a space to suit every guest.
The resort is beautifully designed to capture the charm and magic of Europe, inspired by Walt Disney’s own love for the continent.

Dining Options
Disney's Riviera Resort has a quick service, table service, cafe and pool bar.
* Bar Riva is an open-air, poolside bar with a laid-back Mediterranean vibe. It serves refreshing cocktails, wine, and beer alongside casual bites like sandwiches, salads, and burgers, making it a great spot to relax by the pool or enjoy a light meal with a view.
* Le Petit Café at Disney’s Riviera Resort is a charming Parisian-inspired spot in the lobby that serves pastries, specialty coffees, and teas by day, then transforms into a cozy lounge with wine, cocktails, and small plates in the evening. It’s the perfect place to grab a morning croissant and latte or unwind later with a charcuterie board and glass of wine.
* Primo Piatto is the resort’s casual quick-service spot, offering breakfast favorites, fresh sandwiches, pizzas, and grab-and-go options throughout the day. It’s perfect for a quick meal before heading to the parks or a relaxed bite after the pool.
* Topolino’s Terrace is a rooftop signature restaurant featuring French and Italian-inspired cuisine with stunning views. In the morning, it hosts a delightful character breakfast with Mickey, Minnie, Donald, and Daisy in stylish Riviera outfits, and in the evening it becomes a fine dining destination with an elegant menu and a view of the fireworks.
Favourite Memory
We enjoyed our stay at Riviera Resort, the grounds were beautiful, the pools were great, we used Beau Soleil Pool as it was much quieter and our youngest loved the fact that we mostly had it to ourself while everyone else was over at the Riviera Pool. For our daughters birthday we made reservations at Topolino's Terrace and it was by far our favourite character breakfast to date. The food was delicious and the character interactions magical
Shopping Information
At Disney’s Riviera Resort, shopping is centered around La Boutique, a stylish shop in the lobby that offers Riviera-themed merchandise, Disney apparel, souvenirs, and travel essentials. It’s the perfect place to pick up a keepsake from your stay or grab any last-minute park necessities.
Transportation
Disney’s Riviera Resort offers convenient transportation options including buses to Animal Kingdom, Magic Kingdom and Disney Springs, as well as access to the Disney Skyliner, which provides a scenic and quick ride to EPCOT and Disney’s Hollywood Studios. It’s an easy and stress-free way to get around the parks and resorts.
Extra Tip
While most go for the premium view as it has a view of the lovely grounds, if you choose the standard view which has a view of the parking lot you might get to see the fireworks from EPCOT!
