As a lover of both Disney and the French/Italian Riviera, I was instantly intrigued by the concept of Disney World’s Riviera Resort in Florida. Making the choice to stay there was a no-brainer, but I did not know what exactly to expect from the room. Surely, a room in one of Disney’s newest premier resorts would be unbelievable…right? Keep reading for a breakdown of all Disney’s Riviera Resort Deluxe Studio has to offer as well as my honest opinion of its amenities.
Quick Room Facts

My Opinion of Disney’s Riveria Resort Deluxe Studio
Things I Loved
- The theming was adorable. I loved the French/Italian decor with a Disney twist.
- The room was clean.
- There were a ton of outlets in the room, which made it easy to charge all of my devices at the same time.
- The rain shower was huge and luxurious.
- I love that they provide random household items, such as dish soap and a vacuum. Most hotels do not go quite as above and beyond to ensure you have everything you may need.
Things I Didn’t Love
- I thought it was standard to provide a pen and notepad, however, I could not locate them in my room.
- I wish there was somewhere to put garbage in both rooms of the bathroom. It was a bit annoying to have to walk to another room to throw out my bathroom-related trash when the other room of the bathroom was occupied.
- The locks on the bathroom doors did not work, although I have noticed this in several Disney resorts.
- This might just be me, but I was allergic to whatever detergent they used to wash the sheets.
- I personally did not think there was enough drawer space for 5 people to put away their clothes (although, I think the large closet makes up for it).
