LIVE FROM DISNEY! I'm recording this episode on location during our family trip to Disney World Riviera Resort, which means: real-time thoughts and zero filter.
Is the Disney Riviera Resort actually worth the hype - or the price tag? That’s what I’m unpacking (literally) in this honest, mildly unhinged Disney Riviera Resort review from inside our recent stay. I’m breaking down exactly what I love, what I don’t, and whether I’d personally book the Riviera Resort again.
If you’ve ever Googled “Disney Riviera Resort review” while stress-planning at 11PM with three tabs open and one eye twitching, this one’s for you.
Whether you're just starting to plan your Disney World trip or deep in the resort-selection spiral, this episode has all the mom-to-mom, boots-on-the-ground details you actually want to know about Disney Riviera Resort - without the brochure fluff.
I’ll cover:
- Why the Disney Riviera Resort price might feel steep - and how we managed to save a chunk of change anyway...
- What made the Riviera Resort surprisingly low-stress for a mom of 3 (hint: walkability isn’t everything)

- What I loved about the food at Riviera Resort (especially Bar Riva + Topolino’s), and what I’d skip next time
- A few things to think through before you fall in love with that dreamy rooftop character breakfast
So… would you book Disney Riviera Resort after hearing all this? Or is the Disney Riviera Resort price just not it for your fam? Let me know your thoughts over on IG: @somewhereworthwhile.
