Disney’s Riviera: A Tale of Art, Cuisine, and Skyliner Adventures

When folks ask me which Disney resort my favorite, it used to always be my standard answer of Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort. But, as of late, my old standard has had some stiff competition from the newcomer of resorts, Disney’s Riviera! So let’s talk a few points of why this resort makes it super hard to declare a clear winner of my favorite resort at Walt Disney World!

Getting to and from Disney's Riviera Resort is a breeze! Hop aboard the convenient Disney Skyliner, where you'll glide through the sky in gondolas adorned with beloved Disney characters. It's not just transportation; it's an experience fit for royalty! And don’t forget, designated bus service to parks and Disney Springs which are not serviced by the Skyliner. While this resort may not sit on the monorail, it still has the transportation conveniences with that deluxe edge!

Prepare your taste buds for a culinary adventure like no other. At Topolino's Terrace – Flavors of the Riviera, indulge in delectable dishes inspired by the flavors of the Mediterranean. From mouthwatering seafood to savory steaks, every meal is a feast fit for a Disney prince or princess. And Topolino’s Terrace is also host to the best character breakfast on property in my opinion! A very non typical breakfast menu paired with visits by four of the most adored Disney characters showing off their artistic creativity and talents! And don't forget about Le Petit Café, where you can savor a freshly brewed cup of coffee while overlooking the picturesque resort grounds.
