Riviera Resort is known for its sleek styling, upscale dining like Topolino’s Terrace, and quick access to EPCOT and Hollywood Studios via the Disney Skyliner. It’s a fan favorite for those looking for deluxe accommodations with a touch of European charm.
But while these direct discounts might sound appealing, savvy buyers know there’s an even better way to save…
Why Consider Riviera Resale?
While Disney’s direct incentives are welcome news, the resale market continues to offer even deeper discounts on Riviera Resort contracts. Currently, resale buyers are seeing prices that can be 40-50% less than direct pricing, with no minimum point requirements and more flexibility when it comes to contract sizes.
Here’s a quick comparison:
| Purchase Route | Approx. Price/Point | Perks & Extras | Pros & Cons |
| Direct (150–249 pts) | $211–$224 | ✅ Membership perks, use at all resorts | Higher cost; minimum points required |
| Resale | $120–$130 | ❌ No perks or resort exchanges | Best value if staying only at Riviera |
*Note: Riviera resale buyers can only use their points at Riviera Resort, not other DVC resorts. However, they still get access to the same luxurious accommodations, booking windows, and home resort advantages.
Which Option Is Right for You?
If you’re primarily interested in staying at Riviera Resort and want to maximize value, resale offers the best bang for your buck. If access to Member Extras like Moonlight Magic and the ability to book at other DVC resorts is a priority, the direct purchase—especially with these new incentives—might be worth considering.
Whether you’re buying direct or exploring the resale market, Riviera Resort remains one of the most popular and stylish DVC properties. With new discounts now available and resale prices staying competitive, this could be the perfect time to make your move.
