Disney4me Posted December 11, 2022 Report Posted December 11, 2022 We couldn’t imagine a better time to visit Disney World hotels. Riviera Resort Mickey Gingerbread Cookie Between the decorations and Christmas trees, the gingerbread displays, and new snacks, the holiday season is the perfect time to resort hop if you have time! But there’s a lot more going on at the hotels, too, so let’s see what kind of updates we have for you! Riviera Food Updates Le Petit Cafe THREE new holiday snacks have arrived at Le Petit Cafe, and you know us — we HAD to try them. First, was the Chocolate Peppermint Mousse for $6.49. It’s made with dark chocolate mousse with a white chocolate peppermint mousse center, brownie base, peppermint marshmallow, and a truffle on top. Also, it looks like a Santa hat! It’s cute AND tasty! Chocolate Peppermint Mousse We also checked out the Riviera Resort Gingerbread Cookie for $4.49. This is a Mickey-shaped gingerbread cookie with a sugar glaze with a dark chocolate back. This isn’t our favorite cookie in Disney World, and the dark chocolate was BITTER. It was also very crumbly. But be sure to try it for yourself! It’s starting to fall apart! We also tried the Panettone for $7.99. This is an Italian sweet bread with lemon flavoring and yellow raisins. We thought the bread was tasty, but it was also very dry. Panettone Be sure to try it out, though, for yourself while it’s still available. Read our full review of the Panettone here Riviera Merchandise Updates La Boutique We found a few new clothing items here. There’s a Tommy Bahama Jacket with “Disney’s Riviera Resort” on the front… Front …and “La Vita Bella” on the back. It’s $150. Back There’s also a new Tommy Bahama Women’s Sleeveless Shirt.
