Disney's Riviera Resort
Disney's Riviera Resort is inspired by the Europe that Walt Disney fell in love with. You stroll along a palm-lined boulevard, past arches, turrets and terraces. In the lobby, artworks show Disney characters in the style of the masters of the Riviera.
Location and transport
The resort is in the EPCOT Resort Area, just a few steps from a Disney Skyliner station. From there you glide through the air to EPCOT and Disney's Hollywood Studios. A free bus runs to the other parks.
Rooms and suites
The Tower Studios for two people are unique. There are also Deluxe Studios (five people) with a kitchenette and a patio or balcony, plus villas with one, two or three bedrooms (up to twelve people).
Early Theme Park Entry
Get into all four theme parks half an hour early on every day of your stay, including your arrival and departure days.
Extended Evening Hours
On selected evenings, one theme park stays open later for guests of the Deluxe hotels and Deluxe Villas.
Buy Lightning Lane earlier
Hotel guests can buy Lightning Lane passes 7 days before their stay, for their entire stay. Everyone else can only do so 3 days in advance.
Food and drink
On the roof you'll find Topolino's Terrace – Flavors of the Riviera, for breakfast and dinner with a view. Le Petit Café is a Parisian café, Primo Piatto is for quick meals and Bar Riva is by the pool.
Pools and practical information
There's a family pool and a quieter pool. There are also campfire activities, mosaic workshops (Art de la Mosaïque), Movie Under the Stars and a fitness centre.
Address: 1080 Esplanade Avenue, Lake Buena Vista. According to Disney, construction or renovation work is currently taking place at the hotel. Bear in mind there may be works going on.
