Disney's Riviera Resort Deluxe Studio Room Tour

[@trishawalsh2521]

Just booked it for September 2021 - very excited. For anyone interested for 8 nights it was $1000 more than Caribbean Beach and you get a much more upscale property and room with a kitchenette. Thanks for the tour - very excited

You got a great price! We loved our stay there. Our daughters both want to know when we are going back. Hope you have a great time!

I booked my room for May 2021. In my opinion if you compare apples to apples, these studio villas are better than any other comparable room on Disney property. I'm not comparing them to other Home Away from Home resorts i.e 1, 2 or 3 bedroom DVC villas, the family suites at AA or the cabins at FW. I'm only comparing them to other studio villas as well as value, moderate or deluxe resort accommodations. These are my objective reasons why. 1. These rooms are bigger than most any other resort rooms (433 square feet). The only exceptions are the regular resort rooms at the G.F. (440 square feet) and the deluxe studio rooms at the Polynesian (465 square feet). 2. A pull-down Murphy bed with a real mattress vs. a pull-out couch. I think that having a pullout coach is the biggest disadvantage of staying at most dvc studio rooms. Regular resort rooms all have two regular mattresses. When it comes to DVC studios rooms, only the renovated studio rooms at S.S. and the studio rooms at OKW have two REAL mattresses. (I've heard that other dvc studio resorts will get Murphy beds as renovations continue). 3. A split bathroom - a tremendous advantage when trying to get out the door in the morning and everyone wants to use the shower. Only the studio rooms at the G.F. and the Poly. villas have this advantage. 4. A small freezer compartment in the minifridge - This may seem like a small thing but I think it's a HUGE DEAL. I ride an ECV and like to take a cooler into the parks filled with drinks. Last year, Disney, sighting security concerns, outlawed loose ice. However, coolers with ice packs can be brought in. My question: how are you going to keep an ice pack frozen over several days if you don't have a freezer compartment in the minifridge???? The deluxe studio rooms at the Riviera Resort are the ONLY resort rooms on Disney property that have this advantage. When weighing these advantages, I believe these rooms are THE BEST studio villas OR regular resort rooms on WDW!! Some folks may disagree. Those folks ARE WRONG!!! 😀

Great thoughts, and appreciate you sharing. We haven't stayed in all the different studio villas yet, but think your points are valid. It all depends on what you are looking for. There are lots of options for different needs. We loved this room and the resort. Already trying to figure out when we are going to stay here again!

Tiny for a room that sleeps 5 but much large the Port Orleans rooms that sleep 5.

For sure, but I do like the two showers.
