Hi Samantha, and welcome back to planDisney!
Riviera Resort is such a special place, since it was inspired by Walt Disney’s trips to the French and Italian Riviera. You can even see photos from his vacations on the walls near
Le Petit Café! I love staying there when I know I have a resort day planned or will be coming back for midday breaks, since the grounds are so pretty and relaxing. So let’s chat about your question.
At Riviera Resort, spa-style robes are provided in the Grand Villas, but not in the other room types. Typically, two are in the closet by default, but if you need more, you can give Housekeeping a call. And if you’re not staying in a Grand Villa, or would like to bring one home as a luxurious souvenir, I’ve seen Rivera Resort robes sold in the gift shop,
La Boutique.
I just love this beautiful resort by the water, and Riviera Resort is also home to some of the best dining, in my opinion! Le Petit Café is always a daily must-do when I’m staying there. They have a great selection of specialty coffee and delicious pastries that you can’t find anywhere else at Disney World. My favorite is the Hazelnut Chocolate Bomboloni!
If we’re having a more leisurely morning, my family loves to start our day at
Topolino’s Terrace for breakfast with Mickey and friends. The food is great, and Topolino’s has a more elevated feel compared to many other character meals. I also like to come here in the evening with my friends to grab a drink from the bar and watch the
Luminous fireworks from the outdoor terrace. They even pipe in the music!
And if you want to play things by ear, one of my favorite spots for lunch and dinner is
Bar Riva. It’s an open-air table service restaurant that doesn’t take advance reservations. I love the Greek Salad, which you can get with different proteins, like chicken or salmon, and I always need to end the meal with the amazing Riviera Cookie Skillet!
Finally, if you’re looking for activities for the whole family, don’t forget to stop by the
Eventi Room Community Hall. You’ll find coloring pages, games, and even a resort scavenger hunt.
I hope you have a magical stay at Riviera Resort in a few days! And if you have any questions, don’t hesitate to visit us again at planDisney.
