We polled over two thousand Riviera Resort Owners and asked why should somebody stay at the newest addition to Disney Vacation Club: Disney's Riviera Resort. Riviera combines the magic of Europe with the magic of Disney and is located in the Epcot Resort Area and is home to many of our My DVC Points Community members. Join tonight's panel as they continue our “Top 10” series on Community Hall Live and discuss their favorite parts of Riviera Resort and why they enjoy them so much.

Overview
Located in the Epcot Resort Area, Disney's Riviera Resort, which opened in December of 2019, is currently the newest resort in the Disney Vacation Club lineup. The resort has a European theme with various Disney touches, such as art and paintings, throughout the resort. For dining, there are several options when staying here: Topolino's Terrace (Character meal for breakfast and signature dining in the evening), Le Petit Cafe, Primo Piatto, and Bar Riva. Like many of the other DVC Resorts, accommodations include Deluxe Studios, 1-Bedroom Villas, 2-Bedroom Villas, and 3-Bedroom Grand Villas; however, this resort also has Tower Studios – the first of its kind as these units are designed to hold 2 people and are the most economical rooms to book when using Vacation Points.
