We have been eating up every detail and preview coming out of this upcoming resort – from the Cast Member costumes to food options, we have been anticipating opening day! Well, it looks like our wish has been granted a little early this year, because we actually were able to get some glimpses INSIDE the resort!!

Our friend @carlylewisel was able to take a look inside the Riviera Resort, and WOW! This place is truly more breathtaking than we could have even imagined! Just take a look at the lobby, where you’ll find La Boutique for shopping.

We will have more pics of the exclusive Riviera merch very soon!

Right next door in the lobby is Le Petit Cafe, which had some a bunch of treats to try out!

Le Petit Cafe serves fresh coffee and pastries in the morning and get this…it turns into a WINE BAR in the evening that serves drinks and desserts. Here was their morning coffee and tea menu:

The pastries and treats being served were, in a word, YUM! Just look at them – somehow they manage to be both sweet to look at, and sweet to taste!

One of the items they were serving up were these Lemon Madeleines for $5.99.

Not going to lie, these looked absolutely delightful.

The seating area in Le Petit Cafe is gorgeous – we can definitely sense the European vibes in the setup!

It’s the perfect place to sit and enjoy your morning coffee before a long day at the parks.

Outside you’ll find Bar Riva, which is a quick service pool bar. Yup, you read that right – this GORGEOUS set up is a pool bar!!

Serving European and Mediterranean-inspired cuisine, as well as cocktails and drinks, Bar Riva is a beautiful place to stop for a mid-day pick-me-up (and maybe grab a cocktail, while you’re at it!).

Next door you’ll find Primo Piatto, another quick service location at the resort.

This quick service trattoria will serve yummy dishes, as well as offering grab-and-go options, so you can grab a bite to eat on your way out to the parks.

Speaking of heading to the parks – the Riviera Resort is near the Disney Skyliner and even has a station, making it an easy, breezy trip to Epcot or Hollywood Studios. To get to the Skyliner hub at the Riviera, you go through a tunnel that has one of our FAVORITE details of the entire property.

That’s right, remember those BEAUTIFUL mosaics we got to preview recently? They are actually located in the tunnel leading up to the Skyliner! This stunning mosaic takes inspiration from Tangled.
