Disney Riviera Resort Atmosphere

From palm tree-lined avenues to grand archways, this new resort is all about classic European elegance. This resort houses a unique art collection inspired by the European Riviera and celebrating our favorite Disney characters. But the experience doesn’t just take place indoors. Guests can take advantage of lush outdoor spaces featuring fountains, walking paths, and a waterfront view.

Disney Riviera Resort Restaurants

Part of the Riviera experience is all about food. With four restaurants at the resort, there is no shortage of regional flavors to satisfy every palate. We love the Mickey’s a la Art Breakfast at Topolino Terrace, the easy meals at Primo Piatto and the pastries and coffees at Le Petit Cafe! Take a look. 

Topolino's Terrace Breakfast

Topolino Terrace

Topolino’s Terrace is the Disney Riviera’s signature restaurant, offering breakfast and dinner. This rooftop restaurant allows guests the chance for a character breakfast with Mickey and Minnie in European style. Guests dining in the evenings will be able to view firework shows off in the distance at Epcot and Hollywood Studios on select evenings.

Le Petit Cafe

Le Petit Cafe is the all-day house Lounge offering coffees, pastries, cocktails, and small plates. Drinks and foods bring flavors of the Rivera to the table in the classic French fashion; offering fig, hazelnut, and other regional flavors. One of our favorite areas right next to Le Petit Cafe is Disney’s Library. This space is meant for lounging and work and just hanging out.

Disney Riviera Resort Amenities

Of course, the most exciting element of the Riviera experience is that it’s one of the resorts on the Disney Skyliner line. With access to the Skyliner, guests at the Riviera Resort have direct access to Epcot and Hollywood Studios. But that’s not all, guests at the Riviera also have access to the walking paths and restaurants at the adjacent Caribbean Beach Resort. Offering even more opportunities to unwind on your vacation.
