RIVIERA Resort POOL:

Mediterranean-Themed Pools

A family-friendly pool area invites you to play—while a more serene pool offers relaxation.

At the Riviera Pool, sun umbrellas dot the grounds as the inviting waters cast a warm, golden glow upon the surrounding stucco façades. Pure vacation bliss awaits at this family-friendly pool, which features a pool slide that winds around a stately column tower. And little mademoiselles and messieurs can make a splash at S’il Vous Play, an interactive water play area for kids that’s inspired by the grand public fountains of Europe—featuring a ballet of friendly Fantasia characters.

For a quieter afternoon, Beau Soleil Pool beckons you to unwind alongside shimmering waters in a soothing setting.

WATCH THE VIDEO BELOW TO LEARN MORE ABOUT RIVIERA'S EXCITING FORM OF TRANSPORTATION: THE DISNEY SKYLINER!

SKYLINER THINGS TO REMEMBER:


To enjoy the Disney Skyliner, arrive early or late to avoid peak crowds, especially around park opening and closing times. Plan your transfers if your resort isn't directly connected, and use it as a break to explore other resorts or areas. If you have a fear of heights, consider asking for a cabin with a character wrap for a less direct view, or focus on the front of the cabin. 

Here are some more detailed tips:


Crowds and Timing:

Rope Drop:

The Skyliner can get busy around park opening times. Arriving early or later in the day can help you avoid longer lines. 

Park Transfers:

If you're staying at a resort not directly connected to your destination park (like Hollywood Studios or Epcot), plan your route and consider using buses or other transportation to reach a Skyliner station


Fear of Heights/Motion Sickness:

Character Wraps:

If you're concerned about the height, request a cabin with a character wrap. These wraps can make the view feel less overwhelming. 

Forward Focus:

Sitting facing forward, and focusing on the front of the cabin, can help some people feel more in control. 

Consider Alternatives:

If you have severe motion sickness, the Skyliner might not be the best choice. Touring Plans notes that some guests experience queasiness during takeoff and stops. 


General Tips:

Keep it Balanced:

When loading the gondola, try to distribute weight evenly to avoid a rocky ride. 

Open Windows:

Each cabin has windows that can be opened for ventilation and airflow, says Alaska to Mickey. 

Emergency Features:

Each cabin has an emergency call button and a box with supplies. 


Operating Hours:

The Skyliner generally operates about an hour before the first park opens and closes about 90 minutes after the last park closes, but it's best to check the specific hours for that day
