The Official Riviera Owners & Info Thread

Do all of the dvc resorts have a smoking section?

All Disney resorts have designated locations OUTSIDE of the buildings where people are allowed to smoke. No one is allowed to smoke inside any of the resort rooms or on balconies or patios. If someone is smoking on their balcony, you can report it to Security or the front desk, and they'll handle it (hopefully - although people do sometimes get away with it).

We cancelled our trip for this weekend. It was the right thing to do, but I'm mad I'll miss out on that new hoodie in the RR gift shop!

I've seen an older map that looked like the smoking area was tucked into the corner, closer to the rooms. This map currently on the DW website seems to indicate that it's further towards the beach now. I wonder if they moved it due to guest complaints. Anyone have any intel?

Yes, they have moved it out further from the building.

I saw it while running last week.

That’s probably a good move on their part! Cool. Thanks for sharing.

Hey RIV owners. Hope you dont mind me popping in to ask are they still giving the art prints in the rooms? I think the answer is no but wanted to make sure.

I’ve never gotten a print in my room but you can always ask the guides in the lobby if they have any left! Never hurts to ask

I asked last time at Poly and he was confused what I meant. I have so many VDH prints. I really want a RIV so much so I may switch my stay to stay there to get it.

Do ittttt you already know my love for this resort lol but even if you don’t switch just go for coffee and/or lunch at Bar Riva and get your print. But I always recommend staying there, see how you like it!

I haven't seen them give away the riviera prints for quite a while.

If they don’t have them at RIV, they have them at SSR in the Preview Center.

I have an extra Poly too if you need it I am framing them and hanging them in our room, much to my wife's chagrin lol.

I have vdh, riv, cfw, and poly so far been collecting them, I wonder how long theyve been doing this, would have liked to collect them all

AFAIK, it started with RIV. I don’t know whether they have any for the older resorts or not.

Those are pretty cool! They should give a nice picture of your home resort instead of a gold water bottle when you buy direct.

I guess they don't because I'm pretty sure they only started producing these prints with Riviera, so if folks buy a direct contract at an older resort they won't have anything to send them.

Now is as good a time as any to start!

LOVE this idea! I have no idea where my water bottle is nor have ever used, likely never will. Or the matching cooling towel either. TBH it was just another box of "stuff" not exciting to me one bit.

They can make new ones They just made one recently for Vine house in DCA so I know they still have whatever they need to produce them.
