See Photos and Video from Opening Day of Disney’s Riviera Resort!

December 17, 2019

Yesterday, Disney’s Riviera Resort had their dedication ceremony and officially opened to the public. This is the first free standing Disney Vacation Club Resort since the opening of Saratoga Springs Resort and it’s absolutely beautiful. The rooms are gorgeous, as is the decor around the resort.

One of my favorite places at the Riviera Resort is the archway to the Disney Skyliner. The have beautiful mosaics including one themed for the movie Tangled! Stunning!

Let’s talk merchandise! Disney’s Riviera Resort has their own themed merchandise! From clothing to mouse ears, they have a great selection to choose from. They also have exclusive DVC merchandise for members to purchase. It’s all very cute.

If you’re looking for some amazing food, the Riviera Resort has you covered there as well. There is the rooftop restaurant, “Topolino’s Terrace” and walk up food on their main level that is absolutely fantastic. The walk up has their signature Riviera burger that’s said to taste like French Onion soup and a delicious grilled chicken sandwich with fresh mozzarella cheese. So good!

Disney’s Riviera Resort is absolutely amazing, with breathtaking views and convenient access to the Disney Skyliner.

The Riviera Resort is open now! Contact our travel partners at MouseFan Travel for more information and vacation planning!
