Riviera 1 bed tour if anyone's interested.

Riviera 1 bed video tour

I like the room, can't see us staying there as I just don't see the benefit but the room does look really nice.

I actually had no idea it was European themed , stopped reading anything about it as soon as we ruled out waiting for it and added on at CCV instead.

Good find, well done.

The room is very nicely themed I must say. The new pull down bed is as we expected and the engineering of it is excellent.
Love the idea of the cases going under the bed so thats them out of the way.

My thoughts:-
1. Where is the wardrobe/hanging closet? Maybe I missed it
2. Bathroom look awesome - apart from those bronze old fashioned fittings!

Going to be very tight for 5 people but can be done. Have they compromised on space by putting in the walk in shower and a tub? Looks like it to me.

Going to be very saleable and should sell well

I like the look of the studio, some good design features. We may stay there at some point, just to keep up our record of staying in every WDW DVC resort.

Thank you for posting Jo. The studio looks amazing. I just love the bed pulling down from the wall over the sofa. Looks like a great improvement and reduction in space notwithstanding it's a great bonus to have an additional shower.

Just not tempted by the location or the changes in the proposition ...

I am impressed with the rooms, not sure if we'll ever stay there, we completely underuse our BCV points so have said we'll start staying there again in the next few years & I can't see a benefit over that.

I did feel the resale value of BCV dropping as I watched the video though!

I do love the pull down beds although I do wonder about the longevity of them with people yanking them down and up constantly? Surely there’s more that could go wrong with these than just normal sofa beds.

The decor definitely looks a lot better in the videos than it did in the artist impressions and even the photos of the model rooms. Still can’t see myself staying there though and I still don’t understand the pricing or points cost but hey ho!

The one bedroom looks quite large!

Love the pull down in the studio - really wish Copper Creek had a pull down instead of the sofa.

This is only showing the studio now. Yesterday I was able to view the 1 bed straight after the studio tour. Trying to show my husband but it’s not working. Any ideas? I can’t find anything on FB but I don’t think it was the same person that uploaded them 🤷🏼

Good find this. Credit where it’s due the rooms look to me to be best on property. I’m hoping the SSR refurb will be similar, but the layout of the 1 bed looks brilliant here, I like the extra bed in the 1 bed and the Murphy sofa as we already know is excellent.
I am hopefully going to stay here for 5 nights at Xmas. I’m far from convinced as to location and I’ll be after Standard View as I’m getting low on points with next year’s trip planned as well, so it’ll be a car park view no doubt. I will be booking in 4 days after it opens if I can switch. If I like the location better than expected it will be good, but I still won’t add on there with the resale restrictions unless resale price defies the market and holds up.
