Disney’s Riviera Resort Photo Tour: The Newest Disney Vacation Club Resort

While visiting Walt Disney World for the Rise of the Resistance media event, I also took a Disney’s Riviera Resort tour. Thanks for the invite Disney! All opinions expressed are 100% my own.

As most of you probably already know, I am a Disney Vacation Club member. My family lives for Disney vacations — we visit at least twice a year. The 15th DVC resort, Disney’s Riviera Resort, is opening on December 16th, and I was thrilled to get a chance to tour it. In fact, I am currently coming up with plans to convince my husband we should add on some more points there. Because you can never have too many vacation club points. 

I am dying to stay at this resort — and am so excited to tell you that I will be as part of Disney Creators Celebration in February! So stay tuned for a review of this resort after that. For now, take a photo tour with me of the amazing grounds and even a 3 bedroom grand villa!

3 Bedroom Grand Villa Photo Tour

Unfortunately I didn’t get as many photos as I had hoped to get — because I was too busy taking a video of the grand villa at Disney’s Riviera Resort. So I am sharing with you the ones I did take, as well as my video tour.

This kitchen area is amazing!
Lots of space.
Huge dining area.
