Welcome to planDisney, Elizabeth!
I'm so excited to hEAR that you're planning a stay at
Disney's Riviera Resort. My family and I were able to stay there just this past summer and we loved every second immersed in European luxury. If you consider yourself a "foodie" this is the place to be with onsite options like
Le Petit Café,
Topolino's Terrace-Flavors of the Riviera and
Primo Piatto! I loved starting my day with a specialty coffee from Le Petit Café and relaxing outside with views of the water.
Now, Elizabeth, in order to soak in your days, you'll need a good night's sleep, so let's talk about those pull-down beds. These are from a company named Inova and according to their specifications are "rated for a maximum of 300 lbs." On our last family vacation my Mom joined us at Disney's Riviera Resort, but had her own accommodations in a Tower Studio Room. She loved the space saving bed and said it was very comfortable!
I hope this helps as you're looking ahead to December. If you have any additional questions, please come on back to planDisney! Best wishes for a Magical stay.
Lauren
