Side note- I like how they used bulk heads along the shoreline. I hate the overgrown land meets lake look that Caribbean hot in the mid 90s. Prior to that, the shoreline was trimmed down and beautiful.

Saw this and figured I’d post it.

A grand gingerbread house experience eh?

And the other caption is "Something grand is coming in 2019" (emphasis mine). The flashing lights in the lobby and the captions are teasing a new dance club in the Riviera called "The Grand Gingerbread Man Dance Haus." CONFIRMED (ha).

Well if it is and the rumored new Brazil Pavilion is built in it rumored location it quite possibly could be its "backdrop" much like how the Hollywood Tower Hotels backside is themed to fit in with Morocco.

That TOT back side really is an urban legend. The backside of it has the same architecture as the front side, just with less detail because it is not a show facing side. it is also visible behind other countries besides Morocco from the world showcase. Just depends on what angle you try to look at it.

The rivera resort peaked out at its top height some time ago. It does not seem to be on the WS horizon.

I thought this was separate?????

It is. They deconstructed a portion of Caribbean Beach resort. And built this in its place. It will be a separate resort with a separate entrance. It is the first time a new Resorts being built where part of an old Resort used to exist, but it is a separate Resort.

Depends if you want to count Saratoga Springs.

Wouldn't BLT count as well?

Kinda. But I personally wouldn’t consider BLT to be an entirely different resort. It’s still a part of the Contemporay in my view.

Excellent call! I am clearly wrong and completely forgot about Saratoga Springs.

Correct. It's not really a separate Resort. It's Bay Lake Tower at Disney's contemporary. It's not going to be the Riviera at Caribbean Beach. It's going to be completely separate from Caribbean Beach. Still a good example. It's definitely not totally unsimilar.

We bought into it years ago and I've never paid that close of attention to that. Guess I learned something today.

I wonder if porte cochere view rooms cost more.

That is one way to drive up prices

Make it more marketable and use words the average guest can understand. This resort is so fancy that only limos will pull up. Limousine-view is worth an extra $300/night.

Please tell me there is a resort with “swamp-view” rooms?

“Wetland ecosystem” views coming soon to Disney Reflections Resort.
