This was the best family vacation stay I have experienced! We took our son and his fiance and my…read moregrandaughter for a 5 night stay at this beautiful property. I have stayed at about 10 different four seasons and this was by far the best. The level of service is what you would expect with the four seasons brand but this hotel stands above the rest with beauty and things to do. We enjoyed the 5 acre water park every day and loved it. So much to do for families at the pool area and we dipped away from the kids for the quiet adults pool also. If you are staying here to visit Disney it was equally amazing with character breakfasts in Ravello and the Disney shuttles that ran very often. We mostly ate at the pool ( lakehouse) and in the evening at the hotel ( ravello/Lobby bar) The other place capa? on the roof was nice but we didnt dine there but we did enjoy using their balcony to watch the fireworks from magic kingdom/epcot. The Lickitysplit coffee/pastry/sandwich place was very convenient when we needed something on the go for our busy vacation plans outside the hotel. Shining star- Its hard to pick one person since every employee there is a 10/10 on service but Hannah in LakeHouse was a shinier diamond among diamonds she always went above and beyond for my picky grandaughter Bonus- Doing the Smores at the pool was something pretty amazing

This is certainly the best hotel in and around Disney World, but that being said I would still give…read moreit four stars. The service was friendly and the breakfast was serviceable. The room was a good size and comfortable if a little on the tired side. Also, after much searching we discovered that our room had no mini bar which was kind of annoying. We weren't able to take advantage of the pool situation because it was unseasonably cold while we were there and even though it's heated, swimming while it was 40 degrees did not seem appealing. We did use the gym facility which was expansive and very well equipped. I would recommend this hotel for anyone coming to Disney but it's not necessarily on par with other Four Seasons Hotels.

FABULOUSLY FANTASTIC! My FAVORITE Disney resort!!…read more I always experience a great stay here. Rooms are very spacious. The grounds are beautifully manicures. The pool lagoon is so much fun! Staff is extremely friendly!!

This was the first Disney resort I had been to. The first word that came to mind upon our arrival…read morewas "evocative". I was stunned by how beautiful this place was, and how throughly it made me feel like I was in a little enclave of New Orleans. It was quaint and quiet. When we were walking around there was even a horse-drawn carriage making its way down the street with passengers. (Note that the streets aren't open to traffic, just the carriages and maybe small vehicles that the resort employees use.) The lobby is beautiful and very large. There's a gift shop connected to the lobby, and also a little arcade area further back by the bathrooms. On the other side of the entryway courtyard is the quick service restaurant, Sassagoula's, and the coffee shop (the latter is where you'll get some delicious Mickey Mouse-shaped beignets). My favorite part was the splash pad and pool area. Not for myself, but because of my daughter. They have an amazing pool area. There's the larger pool, which has a serpent-shaped waterslide. Adjacent to that is a smaller splash pad area designed for kids. That splash pad area is HUGE! There are two water slides, one of which is enclose all the way around and is significantly the lager of the two. Opposite that is a smaller waterslide that is open and more appropriate for small children, like my toddler. There are a bunch of other water features like a few little water spouts that move around 360 degrees. There's a little wading pool that doesn't go deep, not even a foot, but fun to sit in and splash. There's also a huge water drum, filled up by a pipe at the top and when there's enough water it spins and releases all the water. That was a lot of fun for all the kids playing around. There was a downside. It may simply be the room that we were in, and it didn't feel small exactly, but if I recall correctly there were no drawers in the room. There was a little bathroom/sink area that had some shelves and a few hangers, but that's not really practical. If I was to consider staying here again, that might be a factor in my decision, because I if I stay here for more than three nights I like to be able to unpack my suitcase, not live out of it. Having said that, I did like this resort quite a lot. I would indeed consider staying here again, especially since we only stayed a single night. There's boat access to at least one park, which is helpful, and we took an Uber to Animal Kingdom. The pool/splash pad alone is a big pull towards this resort (the beignets don't hurt, either!), so next time we make it to Disney Port Orleans will be on my short list.

I recently stayed here for 2 nights with my friend and it was a great experience! They have boats…read morethat bring you to and from Disney Springs that we used (super helpful after a long day walking at the parks!) and they also have shuttles that bring you to the parks. We had no problems at all with wait times or anything (we probably waited 5 mins for the bus to come pick us up and bring us to Hollywood Studios in the morning). Not bad at all! The room was very clean and we also got the perk of entering the park earlier than others since this is a Disney resort.

Out WEST We were…read moreguests of Disney's Old Key West Resort for 4 nights in November 2025. This was 1 of 3 resorts we stayed at during our trip, as we had wanted to do a "split stay", an idea given to us by AJ from DFB Guide (thanks AJ!). NOTES 1. The resort is large and spread out. If one needs to visit the main building of the resort (where the pool, registration, and Olivia's is located), wear comfortable shoes as the walk may be lengthy (depending on which building your room is located in). 2.We paid a little extra when to a book/reserve a room closer to the main building; it was about a 5-10 minute walk from our room. 3. I highly recommend downloading the My Disney Experience app, as this will allow you to check park hours, ride times, place mobile orders, and.....use as your room key. That Disney magic is wonderful. 4. There was no elevator in the building complex we were assigned to, so just be aware. Thankfully the building was only 2 stories (yes, if you haven't guessed already, our room was on the 2nd floor). 5. We checked in via the app, we so were able to go straight to our room. Unfortunately, the "room key" function on the app was out of order due to some network outage/problem. Thankfully, a worker (I think a manger of some rank) saw us struggling to enter our room, and came by to help us. After verifying our res, she unlocked the door. She also sent a worker to our room with physical room keys while we were settling in. 6. Reservation made thru David's Vacation Club; essentially we bought DVC (Disney Vacation Club) points to secure the res. 7. Parking was plentiful in the building lot (the lot was never full during our stay). 8. Guests will have to pass thru a security checkpoint before entering the resort property. HOTEL Amenities 1. As already stated, the main building contains the registration desk, pool, fitness center, ice machine (we found this out the hard way), gift shop (of course), and Olivia's restaurant (where we did have breakfast on our last day). Unfortunately, we only visited the main building for ice, and for breakfast at Olivia's.....and to drop off our suitcases for luggage transfer to our next resort. ROOM Amenities 1. 2 Queen beds 2. Flat screen tv 3. Small kitchenette area with microwave, sink, small fridge, toaster, and coffee maker with condiments. 4. Small lanai/balcony with table and chairs. 5. Small sitting area with table and chairs (this was our "dining table" and snack table during our stay). 6. Spacious bathroom with a decent amount of counter space. There were dispensers in the shower containing shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. We thought the room was incredibly spacious, and we appreciated the extra space beneath the beds for luggage storage. Since OKW is considered a DVC resort, we also were thankful for the kitchenette area, especially the small fridge where we stored drinks and leftovers. Lastly, the beds were quite comfy.....which made for a restful sleep after long days in the park. Though we paid extra for a room closer to the main building, I thought it was worth the additional fee(s) for the convenience. This was helpful since we had to drop off our suitcases over for the luggage transfer service. BOTTOM LINE Spacious room, comfy beds, considerable storage space, and friendly and helpful staff. Recommended.

From the amazing staff in the roaring Fork quick service.; her name is Carolina, she displayed exceptional guest service to the highest level. She assisted my mom and I make coffee choices as well as she told me I had a cute hat. I mentioned she could find the hat in animal kingdom. We also dined at Roaring Fork last night and I had a great Mediterranean salad with chicken. After eating at roaring Fork, we went out to gyser point for some late refreshments and snacks, which I will be doing a separate review for those. The cast members to mention are Josh the chef, Anna the server from geyser point, and Josh the bartender from Geyser Point. The hotel grounds around the property are serene and have a calming quality. 10/10 Definitely recommend this stay cation

We stayed at the Wilderness Lodge for 5 nights and were overall very pleased! Check in was a bit…read moreshaky but nothing afternoon ruining by any means. The pool was great, very well staffed, though one of the hot tubs was not working throughout our trip which was a bummer. The quick service option was great, had plenty of options. The building itself was beautiful, especially the lobby. Transportation to all 4 of the parks was quick and easy, I never felt like I had to walk excessively far to our resorts bus stops. Although the resort itself was large, the bus stop seemed very central and we never had to wait for an elevator. Nor did we have to wait to get a table/pool chair. My main complaint with the resort was the noise level - they pipe in very loud music every night around 9 p.m. for about 10 minutes, which was awful if you're a light sleeper and wanting to get up early the next day. You can also hear the Magic Kingdom fireworks every night from the resort, but that's to be expected if you're staying in a MK area resort and I didn't find it to be disruptive. Overall, I could definitely see myself coming back to the Wilderness Lodge, the resort was incredible besides the music every night (which is really very minor considering it only went on for about 10 minutes a day). It's a great option if you're planning to spend a lot of time at Magic Kingdom.

It is conveniently located close to the Riviera and Skyliner so plenty of choices for dining and park access. We loved the resort layout with many countries represented in clusters of building, pools and quick service dining. We stayed in Trinidad Bld 38. I only gave the location a 4 star because it was almost the furthest away from the main building and we were on the 2nd floor with only walk up. There was disney bussing and inter-resort shuttles and laundry just outside our building. Though there were only two of us, the room and bath was bright and clean, had a queen bed, couch bed and a pull down which could have easily slept 5. Everyone we came in contact with was a delight to deal with and we splattered cast compliments on the app all around. The main lobby was bustling with kid activities and disney movies. Coffee, sandwich, quick service and Sebastians a family style restaurant was also available. Would definitely stay there again just may rethink the room location. Enjoy!

When a vacation room has a door that faces the outside of the property I defined that as a motel and so that perception was immediately disappointing. We also experienced a lot of bugs coming in and out of the room and since you weren't in an interior space, traditional to a hotel, it contributed to having to walk through them. The resort is big in the pool area was nice. Getting from our room to the common area with food and gift shops seemed quite a distance, especially for us with a younger family. Travel to and from the park was convenient, although like any resort, very busy during peak times. Having visited other Disney resorts and resorts outside of the park, we would no longer choose to stay at the Caribbean beach resort.

There is so much to do at this resort from boat rentals, rock climbing , bike rentals, water slides, pool area movies , etc. They also have a shuttle that will take you to and from disney parks and disney springs which was so convenient.

When calling to schedule a shuttle to take me from the airport to the hotel, the person on the line gave me information and a number to call to make the arrangements. After inquiring how much it would cost she checked with the front desk only to find the shuttle service is no longer provided. Either way, regardless of the services offered--they should probably all know what is offered before giving clients information that won't work. 2. We were given the wrong keys to our valeted car (push to start). When we reached our destination we could not lock the car, come to find out we were given Honda keys for the infinity we were driving. We called our friend at the hotel who went downstairs to the valet to explain that we were stranded in a thunderstorm miles away because valet gave us the wrong keys. The valet guy found the correct keys for the car we needed and did not offer a solution. So our friend had to go find a family member who is also staying to get another car to drive to bring us the correct key. Wild af but what did I expect for Florida, I guess.

This resort is beautifully maintained and all of the cast members we encountered were fabulous…read more Our room was on the 1st floor of Oak Manor in Magnolia Bend in a corner room. We were close to the pool/laundry building and it did get noisy. There is maintenance taking place along the waterway, and the smell of old, wet sand and stagnant water was overpowering. When the work is finished, I imagine that will go away. We had no complaints about the cleanliness of the room. We appreciated the extra pillow and blanket. We did note that the room phone cord was ripped out of the wall, one of the GFI outlets next to the double sink was broken, and the exhaust fan in the shower area was not functioning. We did make guest services aware. We had to call for the luggage to be delivered and didn't have any issues using our mobiles and calling the hotel directly. (It is the push of a button from the room phone.) We enjoyed the larger pool area and waterslide. While there were far more people there than in the pool close to the room, it was enjoyable. We did have trouble finding a place in the shade. Many people were saving seats or taking up seats with bags to keep the bag off the ground. We had a fast bite to eat for lunch and a breakfast in the marketplace. The food is nothing to write home about and overpriced. It is Disney and we expected this. It did not take away from the experience. There were plenty of places to sit and they were spaced out well so we weren't on top of the people next to us. We enjoyed the water taxi to Disney Springs twice. Both trips were enjoyable. Captain Hunter was hysterical and made the 20 minute trip memorable. We would definitely book Riverside again. It is a beautiful resort affordable priced.

We appreciated the layout of our room. With four people, having under sink storage as well as…read morecubbyholes, a clothing rack, and dresser drawers was wonderful. We also liked that the toilet and shower were separated by a wall and door from the sink so people could get ready while someone was using the facilities. We never used the electronic device by the phone and turned it off so it didn't glow in the dark; it seemed unnecessary. We had items delivered to the hotel twice and the expensive item was kept in a safe until we came to pick it up, while the case of water and other small items were easily retrieved by someone working in the luggage room. Everything at Riverside is kept clean, employees are generally happy to help, and we were happy with our stay overall. The gift shop had some of the same souvenirs found at the park as well as medicine and other items guests might need during their stay. The staff there was wonderful. On our first day it was raining, so since we couldn't go to the water park as planned, we went to the bar by the pool for a drink. The drinks were pre-mixed, so nothing fancy, but the bartender was friendly nice, and it was fairly quiet and peaceful. As far as location, we liked that we were close to the registration area because it was a quick walk to French Quarter for beignets every morning, and we were a quick bus ride to the parks. My only complaint is that housekeeping let us down. I went to the desk one morning to have the sheets on one bed changed (it was our day off housekeeping) because something was on the sheets. The employee made a note on our reservation. When we got back to the room at 11 p.m., the room had been serviced and the beds made, but the sheets weren't changed--which was the only thing we needed done. Unfortunately, one person had to sleep on dirty sheets with a towel between. Then, because they "cleaned" our room on an unscheduled day, they didn't clean it the last scheduled day, so we didn't have enough towels and washcloths as we assumed they would be replaced while we were at the park on our last night at Disney.

A Birthday Wish Come True: Magic and Mediterranean Charm at Suite 8882…read more If you are looking for a place where "European chic" meets "Disney Magic," look no further than Disney's Riviera Resort. We recently visited for a birthday celebration during the April Spring Break rush, and while the parks were bustling, the Riviera remained our peaceful, pixie-dusted sanctuary. As DVC members for 18 years, we've seen our fair share of resorts, but the Riviera continues to prove why joining the club was the best decision we ever made. The Enchantment of Suite 8882 We stayed in a one-bedroom suite (Room 8882), and to say it was spacious is an understatement. Even though it was just the two of us, this room could have easily hosted a whole "mouse-sized" army of five. The layout is pure Disney genius: Hidden Magic Beds: The living room features two hideaway beds that appear out of nowhere. One is tucked under the TV, and the other--a double--is hidden behind a stunning piece of wall art. For the Fans: As a huge Beauty and the Beast and Mickey/Minnie fan, seeing Cogsworth, Lumiere, Chip, and Mrs. Potts on the wall art was a total "Be Our Guest" moment. The "Royal" Bath: The bathroom setup is perfect for families (or an executive getting ready for a big day). With a standalone soaking tub and a separate enclosed shower/toilet area with two sinks, no one is ever stepping on each other's toes. Five-Star Amenities & Views The room was outfitted with everything a "Home Away from Home" needs--full kitchen, laundry (with soap!), and plenty of light. We especially loved the balcony, which offered a sweeping view of the courtyard, the lake, the Caribbean Resort, and the Skyliner gondolas gliding toward Epcot and Hollywood Studios. It's the perfect spot for a morning coffee before the parks "open up the gates." World-Class Service The cast members truly went above and beyond. From the warm welcome at registration (complete with a birthday pin!) to the incredible service at Topolino's Terrace and Primo Piatto, the hospitality was top-tier. Even the personalized welcome message on the two guest room TVs made us feel like the guests of honor. A Pro-Tip for Travelers: The Grocery "Snag" We did run into one minor "Goofy" moment with our Amazon grocery order. Important Detail: If your order contains alcohol, Disney staff cannot accept it on your behalf if you aren't physically present. Our flight was delayed, and the order was rejected. We simply re-ordered for the next day (sans alcohol to be safe), and the staff was wonderful about delivering everything straight to our room once we returned from the parks. Though the parks were crowded, our stay at the Riviera was a dream. Whether you're celebrating a birthday or just looking for some high-end relaxation, Room 8882 at the Riviera is where the magic happens!

It's a big resort and, during our visit, it felt quite crowded. For example, Le Petit Café and the nearby seating areas (like the Voyageurs Lounge) were full of adults mostly working on their laptops. I believe the shop here, La Boutique, has Riviera-exclusive items--including some high-end clothing and resort-branded art--that you can't find anywhere else at Disney World. The highlight for us was Topolino's Terrace on the 10th floor. They serve Mediterranean cuisine and offer a great Character Dining experience at breakfast and fine dining at night. In terms of transportation, the Disney Skyliner has a station here with lines to EPCOT and Hollywood Studios. We took the Skyliner from EPCOT, which was convenient. There's also direct bus service to Magic Kingdom, which we utilized as well.
