I wonder what the price point will be for this character breakfast and which characters? If the resort is themed to a European getaway then what characters would fit? Belle? Remy? I see it's modeled as cliffside so that makes me think Italy or Switzerland. I will be following this one closely.

I'm probably Debbie Downer but I'm assuming Fab five type characters.

That is right. Over $600 a night after taxes and it doesn't have a bed. Or you can stay next door at CBR with 2 queen beds and a pull down for a kid for 1/2 the price.

I simply don't understand why anyone would stay there over villas at Beach or Boardwalk unless you are just the type who has to try the latest and greatest. Personally towers are the last thing I want to see at Disney World. And Beach and Board still win hands down for convenience. It's like any business class hotel in the world.

Thats how all of the new Disney hotels are being looked at. Its selling though too. Disney wouldn't build this type of hotel if its not what people wanted.

I think the gondolas will redefine "convenience" though. Yes, Beach Club and Boardwalk are walkable, but it's a LOOOONG walk to dhs and Boardwalk is a decent walk from Epcot, too.

Those resorts only hold so many people though(and they are expiring in 23 years can you imagine prices and points when they do). Disney will use the "convenience" of the skyliner to sell this resort. A walk from BWV/BCV to DHS takes me(a fast NY walker) around 15-20 minutes. Skyliner will take roughly the same from Riviera to DHS, and that's only because of the required transfer. The trip to Epcot from BWV/BCV is about 5-10 minutes walking. Riviera should be only about 10 minutes as well. You can see where the marketing will be going with this.

Yeah that's true but I feel like even Reflections has more character than this(based on limited renderings obviously). I still feel like those in the know would book Beach or Board if they want to stay in this area and that Riviera is just a DVC overflow hotel for the GE crowds. But I'm always up for being proven wrong. It could be my favorite this time next year. I'll be sure to check out the property in September.

Right but marketing is not predicting how bad the Gondola lines will be : ) It still may be quicker to walk. Time will tell.

I thought this post in that thread was interesting as it compares prices. I mean, more power to people that can do it but I can't imagine paying any of these prices

Some more rates. Pretty incredible to see where Riviera ranks. This is for 12/30 in Deluxe Studio Standard:
- French Quarter: $316/night
- Riverside: $357/night

- Wilderness: $614/night
- Yacht: $666/night
- 
Board Walk: $699/night
- Riviera: $781/night
- Grand Floridian: $851/night
