Last time I stayed at riviera (2022), you could walk up to the bar at topolinis terrace at night without an adr. I'm not finding info about the lounge on disneys site. Is this still possible?

9:01pm on 10/9/25 by jesterb

Yes. Sometimes it works. Sometimes not. Our backup is to then go down to pool area to Bar Riva.

9:22pm on 10/9/25 by Jennyhirsch

Thank you!

9:27pm on 10/9/25 by jesterb

As noted, have a backup. Our last time there people were being turned away as bar area was full.

I have an opportunity to go to Disneyland Paris for about 5 hours on Sat night. Anyone think it would be worth it? I know ZERO about DLP and it's going to be about $300 with Premier Ultimate Pass. Am I crazy to do this or am I asking the wrong people?

You are, in fact, asking the wrong people! Is this 5 hours limited time you'd otherwise have to explore Paris in general? Because then I'd probably choose to explore Paris. But if it's 5 hours DLP versus 5 hours airport hotel, I'll happily enable!

2:41pm on 10/9/25 by TumbleMonkeys

This will be my 4th time to Paris itself so I won't feel like I'm missing out on much. Some people are going up the Eiffel Tower but I've done that already.

2:46pm on 10/9/25 by larrielaine

Yep, go to DL! Yay!

2:50pm on 10/9/25 by TumbleMonkeys

I did it. DH might have a cow but YOLOoooo?o?.

3:10pm on 10/9/25 by larrielaine

You got my vote! Totally do it and report back. FWIW I was due to be in Paris tomorrow for precruise stay that would exactly have been 1 d at Park. Summer 24 exclaimed I'll be back to see what I missed... whelp. Nope

3:19pm on 10/9/25 by Magicalday2011

We went in the summer. Arrived around 4 pm and stayed until the close. We paid $75 per ticket and bought fast passes for Haunted Mansion. I wouldn't pay for the ultimate pass. I didn't feel the park was super different than MK.

3:27pm on 10/9/25 by seren77

The stuff that was different and worth to see (dragon under the castle, Alice in wonderland garden etc) doesn't require a pass. The rides that you feel you have to do, you can buy individual passes.

3:29pm on 10/9/25 by seren77

I say do it. You can obviously do more rides with Premiere Pass but with only 5 hours you could just walk around and see the park. Some of the best things are not rides like the dragon under the castle and the nite time drone show. Their Halloween...

3:29pm on 10/9/25 by Stephanie_SG

...decorations are great, and you can get champagne on Main Street. Download the app like you would here and note a few things to check out. Maybe you can get there early enough for the parade. If so watch by the castle area as they stop and dance.

3:32pm on 10/9/25 by Stephanie_SG

Shame- we'll miss you. We'll drive in early on Tues am. But yes do it, & ageee not sure I'd spring for premier pass, maybe some individual ones. Space, BTMRR, PM all def worth it. Plus loads of smaller stuff.

YES, yes you are.

4:33pm on 10/9/25 by JackOfAll

With the Premier Pass you can do alot. 5 hours isn't alot of time but I say go for it! We had one day and had a blast. Highly recommend seeing the Lion King show ..so different than AK and also Haunted Manor. Don't waste your time on the food though LOL

6:36pm on 10/9/25 by Wishinonastar

Do it. You'll regret not doing it.

Has anyone taken the Amtrak train from Northern states (PA) to the Orlando train station? Not the autotrain. Any good or bad experiences or anything I make sure we pack?

My FiL took it from south Florida to DC and it took significantly longer than planned. Granted that can happen when driving and flying too. Lots of stops and delays. Need lots of patience and pack plenty of snacks and water.

4:10pm on 10/9/25 by simba77

WE have done the auto train before. DH and I can not drive independently, so we thought this may be an option. We would get on the train in DC at 5p and arrive in Orlando 17 hours later.

5:28pm on 10/9/25 by momshappyplace

Family friend took regular Amtrak from DC to Orlando and train was 7 hours behind schedule. Food from the cafe car was terrible but they also ran out of many items including bottled water

OK, my first thought was I wonder if he'll be a traditional Santa or he'll look more like father time.

12:09pm on 10/9/25 by youcanfly

For those that do not want to click the link: $200 per adult, $150 for children

^^^WOW!

12:22pm on 10/9/25 by JenniferB1975

Oh that's a fancy Santa. In white satin(?) Great for kids with grubby dinner hands.

12:23pm on 10/9/25 by lizshiv

Yikes, $150 for chicken tenders and Santa. He is a beautiful Santa but, hard pass this time. We'll dine there without him and see everything else. Lol

12:41pm on 10/9/25 by lorilcleveland

Plus you have to add tax and mandatory 24% gratuities - and it is all (taxes and gratuities) non-refundable!

1:39pm on 10/9/25 by mkmuzzy

I'm sorry, did you say 24% gratuity? Wowzers.

2:08pm on 10/9/25 by popupcamper

It's the same price at their location in Indiana! They must get it.

2:12pm on 10/9/25 by popupcamper

Gotta loved an above industry standard forced gratuity regardless of the service you receive. Don't get me wrong, I'm all about gratuity, but at this point...woof.

2:37pm on 10/9/25 by lizshiv

One present from Santa PER FAMILY after you have spent $150 per kid.

3:06pm on 10/9/25 by melcort10

So I've paid $868 for two adults and two kids + forced gratuity. Wonder what the present will be. I could take my whole family to MVMCP for that price.

3:11pm on 10/9/25 by lizshiv

Omg what a good point @liv!

3:13pm on 10/9/25 by melcort10

Hahaha wait it says what the gift is- a cookie

3:19pm on 10/9/25 by LaurenInWonderland

The entrees are very basic as well. Chicken, glorified beef stew or veggie pasta for $200.

3:21pm on 10/9/25 by melcort10

A cookie! Facepalm

6:51pm on 10/9/25 by lizshiv

Someone has an incredible sense of irony. On Christmas, Santa brings kids hundreds of dollars in toys and gets cookies in return. Oh how the tables have turned!!

7:16pm on 10/9/25 by MOJoe

If I am reading this right, you get 3 adult beverines. 3 of those cosmos and I would definitely be in the holiday spirit! I could probably talk me and hubby into this, but we would have to miss Mickey's Very Scary Christmas Party which we already booked!

It's our own holiday party title mashup! But it can be kinda scary, especially at parade and firework times, can't it? I can't believe how excited I am for 5 days at WDW in early December!!
