We’re setting sail, checking in, and admitting we got one wrong! We share our private Happily Ever After fireworks cruise experience, from a scenic ride around Bay Lake and an up-close look at the Electrical Water Pageant to watching Magic Kingdom’s fireworks with synchronized audio onboard. We break down the experience, the cost of splitting a boat with friends, and whether this Disney extra deserves a spot on your vacation wish list.

Checking Into Disney’s Riviera Resort: First Stay, New Favorite, and a Resort Wars Recount

Then, we check into Disney’s Riviera Resort for our first overnight stay, and discover that visiting a resort and calling it home are two very different experiences. We cover our spacious one-bedroom villa, pool time, the resort’s relaxed atmosphere, and the bathroom layout that left us wishing for a little more privacy. Plus, we revisit Riviera’s Resort Wars matchup against Saratoga Springs and officially change our winner!

Dining Around Disney’s Riviera Resort: Poolside Bites, Topolino’s Delights, and Fireworks Nights

Of course, there’s plenty of food along the way, including Primo Piatto, Bar Riva, Le Petit Café, and a memorable dinner at Topolino’s Terrace. From duck confit gnocchi and standout tiger shrimp to affogatos, decadent desserts, and rooftop views of Luminous, this trip gave us plenty to talk about—and a few things we’re already craving again.
