  • Sneak Peek at the New Disney’s Riviera Resort

    Sneak Peek at the New Disney’s Riviera Resort

    We were invited to a Special Preview of the new Riviera Resort rooms at Disney’s Vacation Club Preview Center, and we can report that this is the resort of your dreams!

    Inspired by Walt’s love of Europe and the Mediterranean, Disney’s new Riviera Resort will be your new home away from home on your next vacation. With amenities such as shelves by the front door for Magicbands and hooks in the entrance for rain coats, Disney has thought of every little detail to make your vacation Magical.

    One Bedroom Villa

    For centuries, the European Riviera has inspired visitors to relax, rejuvenate and play along the Mediterraneann, and this new resort is filled with ways to make that happen. There will be 2 pools, one of them being a “quiet” pool, and a kids splay and play area. The music will be themed to reflect Disney favorites and layered into the resort experience. Also, expect to hear lots of live music at Riviera resort.

    Sitting area

    All of the restaurants will feature handcrafted cuisine and even the Casual Dining option will serve dishes on porcelain plates.

    Topolino’s Terrace – Flavor’s of the Riviera, will be the crowning jewel of Riviera. Topolino gets it name from the European name for Mickey – Topolino! This restaurant will give you a view of two fireworks shows – Epcot and Hollywood Studios, and it will feature made from scratch pasta and sauces and a wine heavy menu.

    The rooms at Riviera are spacious, made for family fun. We were able to preview a Deluxe Studio and a One Bedroom Villa. The Deluxe Studio has a kitchenette, dining room table that will comfortably seat 4 people, and washer and dryer. The one bedroom has a full kitchen including a dishwasher! Both rooms include an amazing new style of pull-down bed in the living room area, a huge shower separate from the tub, and amazing details.

    Both rooms also feature a pull-down twin sized bed under the television in the main living area. Each bed features unique artwork, and their own reading light. I’m sure this cute bed will be a favorite among young guests!

    There are artistic touches throughout the rooms, inspired by European artists, but with a fun Disney twist! You’ll see Beauty and the Beast characters painted in the style of Rembrandt, and Lighting McQueen from ‘Cars’ inside a Mediterranean setting.

    DVC aspect: This resort will finally offer something that most DVC resorts are missing – a smaller Studio perfect for couples. A DVC Cast Member told us that a regular Studio will run about 90 points for a week during “Choice Season,” and Deluxe Studios will run about 118 points for the same time period.

  • Sneak Peek: Riviera Resort’s Interactive Water Play Area

    Sneak Peek: Riviera Resort’s Interactive Water Play Area

    When Disney’s Riviera Resort opens in December 2019 families will find it’s filled with many new places to make memories. And today, we have a sneak peek at Riviera Resorts interactive water play area – S’il Vous Play.

    Styled after the public fountains found throughout Europe, S’il Vous Play draws it’s inspiration from the 1940 Disney classic, “Fantasia.” This interactive water play area will provide young guests the perfect place for fun in the sun, surrounded by fanciful creatures.

    Inspired by the “Dance of the Hours” in “Fantasia,” S’il Vous Play features elephants filling dump buckets with their trunks, dancing ostriches, and hippos splashing water into decorative bowls.

    As young guests frolic in the water and zoom down slides, older guests may even spot the playful references to the animated film’s classical music, which featured the works of many European composers.

    Stay tuned for more news on this new DVC resort and a Sneak Peek of the rooms coming soon! Contact me at Kimberly’s Kingdom to book your next family stay.
