    Hi. Do we need reservations for the Riviera lounge by Topolino's if we just want drinks to go to the Terrace?

    Hiya, Elisa! 

    Thank you so much for stopping by planDisney with your question about Topolino’s Terrace located at the Riviera. It is such a beautiful place to dine! In fact, I was just there this past week for breakfast, and between the delicious food, the incredible views, and the artistic touches, the entire experience was a masterpiece. 

    So, Elisa, let’s paint our way right into your question! You’ll be happy to know that you do not need a dining reservation to visit the lounge at Topolino’s. Seating is available on a first-come, first-served basis, so availability can depend on how busy the restaurant is that evening. Once the lounge reaches capacity, Cast Members may need to pause seating or turn Guests away. This actually happened to my husband and me during a very busy holiday weekend, so I recommend arriving a little earlier if you can. 

    If the lounge is full, you can also check whether the restaurant is offering a walk-up list through the My Disney Experience app. Walk-up availability is not guaranteed, but it is certainly worth checking. You never know when a little pixie dust may appear! 

    And Elisa, the views from Topolino’s are truly breathtaking. I could sit outside and watch the Skyliner glide through the evening sky for hours. Add in a delicious drink, and the entire night feels like a picture-perfect work of art. 

    Elisa, I hope this helps answer your question. Please stop by and visit us again if you have any additional questions. 

    See you real soon!
