Last week, BF and I FINALLY got to come home to Riviera! We bought into it back in 2019.

We loved being along the Skyliner, but I think it influenced us to go to Hollywood Studios more than we would typically do during a regular trip. We were able to secure a dinner reservation at Topolino's and... I really wanted it to be better. I don't know if it was just the dishes that we ordered, but it just felt a little flat. He had lobster pasta and I had the scallops with risotto. I enjoyed the gnocchi appetizer. I probably should have ordered the filet.

The room was beautiful and I really liked the tub.

I feel torn, because while I loved the room, I missed being on the Monorail loop. Although, with HEA coming back, maybe I can convince my BF to take a weekend trip back to Bay Lake Tower...

I agree that I was disappointed with Topolino's when we went in December as well. I think it had to do with the stellar reviews that it gets - I expected too much. I thought it was really good, probably 8/10, but I was expecting 10/10, I guess.

But for us, that was literally the only complaint we had about RIV. Everything else is excellent.

My husband always says, low expectations are the key to happiness!

Just snagged a 1 bedroom Standard room. Should I put in any room requests? TIA

We are heading down next week, we are doing 2 nights at POR to see YeeHaw Bob and then checking in to RR on the 8th. We have a 2BR lockoff Standard View for 7 nights and I’m crossing my fingers we get an awesome view like last time and trying to prepare mentally that we might not lol. I’m excited to do Topolino’s for Easter breakfast, and my DH and I are renewing our vows at the Dolphin for our 20th anniversary the Monday after Easter (we got married at the WL in 2003) so it’s going to be a fun trip

Order from the grocery store its going to be less expensive IMO unless you are not doing a delivery at all.

I couldn't find a recent Youtube video of the gift shop but I did look.

I know that the skyliner does not run after an After Hours Event, but does it run after extra evening hours?

We used it after extended EPCOT hours in December.

Anybody know when the last Riveria allocation for rooms occurred? Seems like it's been awhile since they released rooms.

I just answered your post elsewhere.

This isn’t really riviera specific built it’s my home resort and we are staying there… are floaties allowed in the pool? We are traveling in May with our 7 month old and I’d like to get him one of those little baby loungers for the pool but I can’t remember if they allow things like that.
