  • Pull Down Bed Falls On Guest at Disney’s Riviera Resort Grand Opening

    Pull Down Bed Falls On Guest at Disney’s Riviera Resort Grand Opening

    One family staying at the newly opened Disney’s Riviera Resort received a rude awakening when the pull down “murphy” bed collapsed on a guest while they were sleeping.

    Hayley Ashby, her sister and her mother were staying at the new resort when the incident happened. “Me and my sister had to struggle to lift up the bed to have her be able to roll out from underneath the bed,” Ashby said. “Luckily, only a few bumps & scrapes, but we are definitely shaken up.”

    Ashby and her sister had to struggle to lift up the bed off of their mother so that the woman could roll out from underneath it. As you can see in the picture below that Ashby shared on Facebook, it seems like it was no easy task:

    Managers at Disney’s Riviera Resort, then went from room to room posting a note on trundle beds instructing guests not to use them.

    The warning reads:

    “We apologize for the inconvenience. This trundle bed is out of order and for your safety, it cannot be used at this time.

    We want to ensure your stay is as comfortable as possible. If you have planned to use this bed, please contact the Front Desk so alternative arrangements can be provided.”

    Ashby has said that Disney Riviera was very accommodating and gave them a new upgraded room. Her mother was still in neck & back pain and plans to follow up with a doctor.

    Disney Announces Voyageurs’ Lounge Coming to Riviera Resort Inspired By Walt’s Travels

    The magic never ends at Walt Disney World. The new Riviera Resort—opening in Fall 2019—has announced that a new travel-themed lounge known as Voyageurs’ Lounge, will be a part of the fun to be at the newest Vacation Club hotel.

    Inspired by Walt’s love of traveling through Europe, this spot will showcase Walt Disney’s worldwide expeditions and the literary works he brought home as souvenirs. The Voyageurs’ Lounge will be located next to the Le Petit Cafe and will serve as a fun, comfortable place for families and friends to gather and share travel memories.

    Much like the rest of the resort, the decor in the Voyageurs’ Lounge will represent the book collection of Walt Disney and will exhibit Disney’s unique connections to Europe. Modern design meets family tradition in this artfully-inspired resort.

    Few things were as important to Walt Disney as family and travel. The Voyageurs ‘s Lounge inside the brand-new Riviera Resort is the perfect combination of the two.
