There’s about seven months left before Disney’s Riviera Resort at Walt Disney World and while the building is completely up, work still needs to be done on the facade and the pool area.
Scheduled to open Dec. 16, 2019, this will be Disney’s 15th Vacation Club resort and will offer about 300 vacation homes, including: deluxe studios, 1,2 and 3-bedroom Villas, and a new Tower Studio that will accommodate up to 2 guests and has a Murphy bed.
The building, as you can see below, is beautiful, if maybe a little out of place when juxtaposed to Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort across the way. Part of the Caribbean Beach Resort was used to make way for this high-rise building.
Let’s take a little tour.
There will be more than 300 vacation homes at the new Riviera Resort. Here you look at the resort from the Caribbean Cay at the Caribbean Beach Resort.

There will even be a covered walkway from the resort to the station. (Photo by Steve Liebman)This line will go north toward Epcot. When going south it will connect to the Caribbean Beach station where you can get another line to Hollywood Studios.
