They're really nice and would be a nice unique gift to have them for all the resorts. Will put this in a survey, to me its one of the better swag they give

Hopefully they don't just use AI art like they've been caught putting up in the parks lately. Do you think they'll actually go through the effort to commission a painter to create a unique print for each of their resorts - most of which have been "sold out" for years, to hand out for free? I suppose anything is possible but I can't see it. Maybe they'll offer them for sale in the Art by Disney kiosks if anything.

I had a Riviera one signed by all the characters on it during a Topolino's character breakfast so it's my favorite

Thats a really cool idea, I can do that with the cfw one in the campfire sing along, riv breakfast, and find Moana and mickey at the theme parks for my other two. Great, now I cant frame them yet. I feel I must do this.

Coffee machine in Riviera studio use the angled coffee filters, not the flat bottom filters found in many other studios

Hi. Leaving for Riviera in two weeks for an extended family trip and starting to think about packing. We'll have two studios. We'll bring our own coffee, and I want to be sure to have the right filters. From what I can tell, the coffee pots in the Studios at Riviera is a traditional 8-10 cup drip coffee maker? I saw a few people reference "angled" coffee filters, so I'm thinking I need to purchase #4 Cone Coffee Filters. Could someone confirm if this sounds correct? I appreciate this community!

Things change so often lately that we’ve started bringing both flat and cone filters.

Thanks for responding. I don’t have/use either kind at me house, so I hate to purchase a full pack of both and have the rest go to waste, but if I can’t, I’ll take that suggestion!

Next comes the Owners Locker.... if it is not going to go bad and I use it at disney ( like coffee filters) it stays in the owners locker

Understood! We prefer to use our own ground coffee, so we bring them. The alternative would be using the little filter packets of coffee that DVC provides, and we just don’t like it!

At Riviera, the 3 bedroom and tower studios have k-cup. The rest of the rooms have cone filter machines.

You might be able to call housekeeping and request a different type of maker when you arrive, subject to availability of course.

When the rooms are refurbished (likely within the next 2 years or so), expect them to install Keurig Duo makers (k-cup and 12-cup basket filter in one machine) like the rest of the resorts are going to.

You can always bring the extras back home and keep them in your luggage for the next trip.

 

[WhitneyMB]

Thanks, that's what I was planning. Because we're those crazy people who travel with only a personal item, I was just hoping someone might be able to confirm which was the correct type to bring!

I’m curious. Does anyone know the approximate skyliner wait time when the queue is wrapped all the way down that side street next to the main line?

ETA: Skyliner back to RIV from IG

Which queue is that? From Epcot IG back to Riviera?

The deluxe studio had a k cup as of a week ago, they change so often.

Yes

 

[lowlight]

Yes

It depends how far back towards boardwalk it goes, but about 15 minutes or so at park close. I imagine any number of issues could arise which would push that number up, but lately they’ve been back to filling the gondolas up at busy times instead of 1 family per gondola.
