2. Breakfast With Mickey and Friends
What better way to start your day after a workout (or sleeping in) than by having breakfast with Mickey and friends at Topolino’s Terrace. This restaurant is located at the top of the resort and provides sweeping rooftop views of Disney. This prix fixe menu offers a variety of options to please the whole family.

4. Enjoy the Art
One of the special touches about Disney’s Riviera is the very unique works of art they have throughout the resort. From the very instagramable mosaics, featuring Peter Pan and Tangled, to small touches in the resort lobby and rooms, Disney’s Riviera offers an art gallery of its own. Take time during this day to really look for these pieces of art. Talk to the cast members about them to learn more. So much inspiration came from Walt’s travels to Europe that there are even some books and pieces for him around.
5. Visit Primo Piatto
For lunch you will want to visit the quick service location Primo Piatto. This dining location is known for the amazing food it offers and often pulls guests out of Disney’s Hollywood Studios for lunch. Make sure you mobile order to get your food! Grab some delicious fries and sandwiches and enjoy a nice meal outside on the terrace.
6. Hit the Pools
The Riviera has two pools to choose from depending on what you are looking for during your day. The Riviera Pool offers a place to swim, splash and play. This pool offers a slide as well as a S’il Vous Play area for little ones. If you are looking for a quieter option, the Beau Soleil Pool is calling you to unwind and relax.
7. Grab a Drink
While at the pool, enjoy a drink at Bar Riva. This poolside bar offers some good meal options as well as a variety of beverages for young and old alike. Try out some of the specialty drinks just for the Riviera.
8. Dinner With a View
Topolino’s Terrace is a fantastic option for dinner while staying at Disney’s Riviera. This rooftop dining experience will provide fresh, delicious seafood and meat dishes along with pasta and desserts. Even if you enjoyed breakfast with Mickey and friends earlier in the day, in the evening this restaurant transforms as the textures, colors and details come to life.
9. Wrap up with Dessert
After an amazing day, you will want to wrap up with a delicious dessert from Le Petit Cafe. You can find cocktails, beer, wine along with savory bites and desserts throughout the day. This is a fun, artistic location to stop by.
10. Venture Out
While enjoying your resort day at Disney’s Rivera, you can also enjoy both the skyliner and Disney’s Caribbean Beach. If you are looking for more dining options, or a way to see more of Walt Disney World, you can catch the skyliner and head out for a nice, relaxing ride. This is a fun way to see parts of property you don’t normally get to see.
Disney’s Rivera is described on Disney’s website as being “inspired by Europe and imagined by Disney”. Here you can see why Disney fell in love with parts of Europe and how it has been brought to Florida in this resort. There is so much magic at the resort that you will have a great time enjoying all of the food, relaxation and recreation it has to offer. A resort day at Disney’s Rivera is a must!
