Does the Riviera have a balcony?

All rooms at Riviera Resort have balconies. The view off your balcony will vary depending on which category of room you select.



Yes, Disney's Riviera Resort at Walt Disney World is designed so that every single guest room features a private balcony or porch. This is a key selling point for the "Deluxe" level resort, inspired by the European Riviera. Even the smallest room type, the "Tower Studios" (which are designed for just two people), include a small balcony overlooking the resort grounds or the Disney Skyliner. The larger 1-Bedroom, 2-Bedroom, and 3-Bedroom Grand Villas often feature expansive wraparound balconies with multiple access points from the living area and bedrooms. The view you get depends on your booking category: "Resort View" rooms typically look over the parking areas or landscaping, while "Preferred View" rooms offer vistas of the pools, the lake, or the Skyliner. Having a balcony is a significant advantage at this resort, as many rooms offer a clear view of the evening fireworks from EPCOT or Disney’s Hollywood Studios, allowing guests to enjoy the show in private.
