What You Need To Know Before You Stay At Disney's Riviera Resort

[@mercedesdownie7543]

Yes! Thanks to Quincy, I took a detour to Riviera to try the coffee. It really is the best there is, perhaps anywhere. Le Petite Cafe also has some fantastic mini brownies. We loved them so much, we made a second detour a few days later and bought 2 packages to take home on the airplane. If you are going to Epcot or Hollywood, it is worth having a ride share drop you off at Riviera to get coffee and croissants and brownies, then catching the skyliner.

Just stayed at Riviera a couple weeks ago in a 1-bed villa with our family of 4. We loved it! Beautiful resort, had a great time.

Just stayed at the Riviera in June and stayed in a tower room for 3 nights. I agree the room was small but I was on a solo trip so it worked for me and the bathroom was huge. Loved everything about this hotel including all the things you mentioned. I was able to get a breakfast reservation at Topolino's which I highly recommend and great fun with delicious food. Had a frozen coffee from la petite cafe and I agree I don't think I've ever had anything better. Enjoyed the convenience of the skyliner and bus transportation. The quiet pool was very relaxing and luxurious. Highly recommend this hotel if you can splurge and treat yourself. I can't wait to go back. Quincy and All Ears thanks for doing these hotel reviews. I think they are so helpful in deciding which hotel is right for you. Hope I see you sometime in the future so i can thank you in person.

We never planned to join DVC but after staying at Riviera for our honeymoon, we became members with it as our home resort. Love the theming and can’t beat the Skyliner access!

We bought in at Poly, which we also love, but Riviera will be next - absolutely love this resort!

[@irishgirl9667]

I would stay in the show room and be on exhibit for quests. Can't afford to stay there but it is beautiful!

[@michaelgarofalo]

Please look into David's dvc rental for points instead. I was able to book 6 nights for around $2000 instead of paying like $5500 through the disney website for the same room. Quincy is 1,000,000% right with her recommendation and provided the link to use!

[@TheHilliardFam]

Even if you don't stay at the Riveria Resort, y'all should go eat at Toppolino Terrace. Some of the best food, view, and experience in Disney!

[@ChrisChevela1976]

Great review. We were there the day you were filming/staying and passed right by but I didn't want to bother you LOL.

[@ajmayowskijr]

Amazing work Quincy

[@joefisicaro8647]

Quincy, thanks for the great review! 😊

[@ProtossHyrdalisk]

Staying there for a 9 day vacation starting Thursday! Really can’t wait!

[@kenk910]

Great independent review!

[@janicerudy2991]

There are very few of the small tower suites. The rest of the rooms in this hotel are huge and beautiful.

[@phantomx3.0]

i think this is a beautiful resort. would love to stay in one of the rooms and eat at topolino's terrace.

[@HollyPlake]

My parents own DVC points at Animal Kingdom Lodge and Rivera. I absolutely love Rivera because of its location and decor. I agree that the coffee is the best at Le Petite Cafe (I learned this December of 2020). I love how there are subtle hints of Disney in the rooms. Beautiful resort just to walk around as well. 😃

[@cristimiller6687]

Please please please do another Caribbean Beach stay! Would love to see a standard room or even the new Mermaid rooms! Thanks! 💛

[@mao-er7if]

my family's going to topolino's terrace for breakfast so we're hoping to explore the resort a bit. we've been thinking about renting a dvc room so maybe riviera would be a great choice, rooms look smaller than i thought though😅

[@cindyfaust7344]

We love the Voyagers Lounge!!

[@corelladoll2051]

You need to know that it’s not cheap!

[@wetnwild80]

For me this just looks like a regular nice hotel. Not enough theming to make it different like the other Disney hotels.

[@NeptuneCatOfficial]

Good review, cheery and interesting

[@the_adventurous_rjay3897]

Boujee, Boujee, Boujee love it

[@joshuatorres7655]

Was just there last week

[@jeffaltier5582]

I can't get past the teeny tiny rooms for that large price.

[@xatuyou8045]

It’s very expensive. You can stay Caribbean beach and walk there.

[@cyrano661]

Yes, that’s what we did. Every morning we would go there for breakfast and coffee and dinner sometimes.

[@Fredrick703]

Q is so beautiful❤️

[@latashajoyce5126]

Would you pick Riviera or Yacht Club given a choice?

[@latashajoyce5126]

Or Poly???

[@jacitucci]

I'm trying to decide between The Riviera or Boulder Ridge at Wilderness Lodge. I booked The Contemporary for September 2024 for 6 nights and want to add 2 nights on to the trip at a "reasonable" cost via DVC rentals to utilize more rest days and time at the resorts. I'd appreciate any insight or advice to help sway my decision.

[@HollyPlake]

I don’t know if you decided yet but I have stayed at both Wilderness Lodge and Riviera. It would depend on which park you are going to spend the most time in. Wilderness is close to Magic Kingdom while Riviera is close to Epcot and Hollywood Studios. I feel like both have subtle Disney theming. Wilderness is great if you want to have more of a cabin in the woods type of room. Warning ⚠ at Wilderness, the DVC rooms are in a separate building like how Contemporary has Bay Lake Tower. Rivera is nice because you don’t feel separated from the rest of the resort. Both resorts are great and u think you cannot go wrong. Wilderness I believe is cheaper points wise (if you are renting DVC points or if you have DVC). Hope this helps! 😃

[@jacitucci]

@@HollyPlake I rented DVC points for a stay at Boulder Ridge at Wilderness Lodge for a conference in July and then ended up booking Beach Club for our annual family vacation in September! 🙂

[@HollyPlake]

@@jacitucci I absolutely love Beach Club! Both are your choices are awesome 😎.

[@kevinpeterson6468]

I don’t drink coffee. I prefer hot chocolate. What resort makes the best hot chocolate

[@JH-cn7ei]

You talk a little to fast especially when the sound quality isn't to good. Good tour though.

[@HollyPlake]

I agree that she talks fast in her videos.
