Riviera At Seven Months

[TinkFan74]

Next September we would like to stay at Riviera for a week, how hard is it to get a standard view one or two bedroom at seven months?

Very hard to tell. They haven't declared a ton of the Riviera rooms into DVC from the cash side anyway yet. How many nights are you looking for? The the more nights the less likely I'd say.

I was hoping a week to 9 days, we might have to stay somewhere else.

Standard is considerably harder than Preferred.

I agree as well with @_auroraborealis_, DVC built more Preferred vs Standard, so that will create an issue with trying to get Standard view rooms.

I think the 1 bedroom right at 7 months may be the best chance. But it is hard to tell since this September was the first one and nothing this year can be used as a guide.

it also doesn't help that many think the standard actually has the better view at least from an epcot fireworks point of view.

Do all the standard rooms have a view of Epcot?

Most Likely not. the touring plans website has a room locator that will show you all of the standard view rooms and preferred view ones.

Epcot is to the left of this map and towards the west parking lot. There is also a drop down box on the top right that changes the floor.

someone asked recently about BLT vs. RVA at seven months and they seemed to line-up pretty well; since we don't have anything better, I would recommend using BLT's availability charts as a stand-in

for room counts (to help you gauge standard vs. preferred view availability) ...

RVA	1 bedroom	2 bedroom
standard​	65 (37%)​	86 (36%)​
preferred​	112 (63%)​	152 (64%)​
total​	177​	238​

thanks to @Micah008 for the room counts

I never realized why BLT Standard View Deluxe studio was so hard to get, there's only 21 of them.

Many do - we were in a standard room in the east wing (the side w Topolinos) and had a clear view of the Epcot ball with MK fireworks in the background, but not much view of the Epcot fireworks - a few higher, stray ones. I think standard view west wing (as long as it's not forbidden, haha) would have better views of Epcot without losing too much of MK fireworks (when they finally have them again)
