No ice cream and no cupcakes in the display case. It was a very different experience then before but the cupcake was still the same.Did you happen to notice if ice cream is available at Sprinkles again? At re-opening, they were not doing ice cream with the cupcakes. (Barbarians!!)
Thanks. September will be a solo trip as well and with the short park hours maybe I can just do a recap each evening to entertain myself.Great report. Hope you do one for your September trip too!
I like the way you think.Thanks for answering. Maybe I could walk a cupcake over to Haagen dazs.
I do not drink coffee so sorry I did not pay attention to the drinks. They did have 3 or 4 different pastries out each day. I think the Riviera is a great choice right now. I think everything there is open now. The store is pretty small but has a bit of everything. The rooms are beautiful and the Skyliner is awesome. Enjoy your trip.Staying at the Riviera in Sept for the 1st time - did you happen to notice if Le Petit Cafe had the ice coffee w/ house made whip crm and/or if they were offering the different pastries/cakes options through out the day? Have watched reviews from opening & am already mourning the absence of the monte cristo at the pool bar. Hoping to get fancy coffee & pastries! Any other thoughts/tips on staying at the Riviera? Know this is a dining report but thought I'd ask
Thanks for coming along.Awesome report! A traveler after my heart. Thanks for bringing us along!
Glad you enjoyed.Enjoyed your report, thank you!
Thanks for the report. Can't wait until we get to go again. Reading peoples reports help make the wait better for me!
I know exactly what you mean. I spend a lot of time between trips reading dining reports. I hope this helped at least a little.
Thanks for sharing...those biscuits and chicken are a must-do for me on our next trip!
Youre welcome. I wish a had one of those chicken and biscuits right now.
Thanks for reading.Thanks for taking the time to review. It all looks delicious
Food looks great.I stayed at the Riviera. This was my first time staying at this resort. My room was great and the view was gorgeous.

Dinner my first night was at Topolino located on the top floor of the resort. It was nice not to have to go out in the heat to get to the restaurant. There is a scanner to check in but I could not get it to work. The menu was also a scanner code.

They bring bread and olive oil to the table.

The bread was fresh and the oil was good. Last time I was here there were 2 different olive oils and I loved the stronger one. This was not that one. I did not ask if the other oil was available because I didn’t want to fill up on the bread.
I started with a yummy drink.
Midi Spritz: Magellan Gin, Aperol, Grapefruit, Sainte-Hilaire Blanquette de Limoux Brut. I really enjoyed this.

For an appetizer I went with Ricotta: Tomato, Aged Balsamic, Cracked Pepper, Basil, Epi. This was excellent.

This was good but not anything special. I was quite full at this point so I ordered dessert to go.
Warm Valrhona Chocolate Cake: Caramel Center, Chantilly, Raspberries
