The Official Riviera Owners & Info Thread

[Sprinkles&Sprints]

So happy to hear. Felt like I was reading my own post- Boardwalk is my first love too, but we bought RIV a little over a year ago and are gearing up for our first stay over Labor Day weekend. I'm so excited- we'll have 1.5 days to simply enjoy the resort and a couple park days to benefit from the Skyliner access. We're starting in a studio to sleep 5 so we can only go up from here in terms of the rooms (and the points!).

You’ll have a great time!

My only word of advice is around the skyliner - I raised this on a different thread but the skyliner went down at least once a day almost every afternoon/evening we were there.

I had prepped myself for it (we usually travel this time of year) and made sure that if we had dinner reservations at a skyliner-dependent location, I factored in enough of a buffer for a Minnie Van or was flexible and just changed/canceled. It really wasn’t a big deal!

Today I started toying around with the idea of going in December for a few days, knowing there would be probably be zero availability. I have been wanting to go down at Christmastime for quite a few years…

Well, thank you to whoever cancelled, because we now have five nights in a preferred studio at RIV the second week of December!!!

Woohoo, 86 days!

Just got back last night from a quick 3 night stay. It was fantastic as always! It was our first time in a 1BR (8971). The location was perfect. Not too far from the east elevators, top floor on the end, incredibly quiet with great fireworks views. We could actually see the MK fireworks from our bed! Going back in 47 days!!!
