I understand not liking something and you’re entitled to feel that way, but it seems you are trying to belittle me because of my opinions on the hotel. Is that not beneath a grown adult?

I can see why for some it wouldn’t be inspiring. I just like a nice ambiance and that’s what I feel it has. It’s similar to the GF Villas in some ways. My only wish it for more greenery/foliage, perhaps around the entry, but I suppose that will grow in over time!

They're not perfect representations of any of those styles and I don’t think the resort, as it’s gone through its development, has come to really represent Beaux Arts or Art Nouveau beyond probably the mansard roof. It most definitely isn’t Art Deco and I don’t think it ever would have been. I...

While not staying there, on my current trip I’ve spent quite a bit of time around Riviera given a friend was staying. No, it's not the most exciting exterior, and yes, the Murphy bed situation is poor show and shouldn’t have happened, but I actually really like the resort as a whole. As do, it...

With regards to the DVC situation, I presume he must own at Saratoga and therefore cannot be ‘banned’ from real estate he owns? Perhaps there’s small print that could get Disney out of this situation but I’d assume they’d have played that card already if so.

I wonder if the new ‘modern’ GF theme that is being touted will be based on the Villas? That comes across to me as a more modern approach to the ‘Grand Florida’ theming, both in the room style and the lobby area. I also wouldn’t be surprised to see the Poly rooms go in the direction of those in...

They are on his Facebook page, a month or so ago!

That was what I presumed. I just thought I’d see what my options were, if there were any! :)

I think I’ll know the answer already, but I though I would ask the question to get your opinion on it! I will be travelling back to the UK flying via ATL, and wondered whether resort airline check in would be able to process the check in for the international connection as well as the domestic...

If this is Universal’s 4th park, Disney has 6, and I imagine they’ll continue to bolster the existing attraction lineups rather than open a new park and that has to be the way to go. Personally, I think a new park would be a mistake at this point.

The DVC studios are exclusively in the Villas building. They tend to either overlook the Villas pool/car park, or the woodland/back of Epcot, I believe! Some also look over the small courtyard between the Beach Club main building and the Villas. As above, the courtyard or the pool rooms would...

The site that shall not be named mentions that Target (as well as Walgreens and Speedway) are going to be located at Flamingo Crossings. I personally can’t see where Target is labelled on the diagrams there (while Walgreens and Speedway are), but there is a large retail outlet drawn, so that...

It isn’t a big frustration, it just surprised me how much I missed that walking path. No matter the length of time, it would still be more sensible to focus on the walkway then the adjacent gardens to allow for the foot traffic. And the next few years will be what they are.

I feel it would be more logical to get the walkway completed, put up scrims to hide the ‘garden’ area and work on it while the walkway is once again useable. It’s surprisingly frustrating that this has been closed so long!

Are what look like faux 'storage vaults' (dark grey colored) closest to the moat and to the bridge a new feature, or were they there before? I don't remember ever noticing them.

Just to add, you can’t make 2 reservations within one hour of eachother. So one would need to be, say, 9:25am, and the other 10:30am. That might make it harder if you want a late breakfast as it makes one of the reservations much earlier.

It is big compared with CBR, so it is imposing, there’s no escaping it. It’s simply the spacing between resorts. Barefoot Bay is not big enough to support two resorts spaced like those on the Seven Seas Lagoon.

I’ve just returned from WDW, and I personally don’t think Riviera looks the worst I’ve seen. It definitely improves in person though there are lots of areas they could’ve done more with on the external appearance, such as more of the rounded roof etc. I also feel like without the fully...

I have a feeling what’s being hinted at there is the problem is those making the decisions.

If you want to be more specific I would have a look at the resort plans on touringplans.com. You can search for ‘yacht club room finder touring plans’ and it’ll show you floor by floor the layout of the resort and every room. It’s a great tool! :)
