I agree that I was disappointed with Topolino's when we went in December as well. I think it had to do with the stellar reviews that it gets - I expected too much. I thought it was really good, probably 8/10, but I was expecting 10/10, I guess.Last week, BF and I FINALLY got to come home to Riviera! We bought into it back in 2019.
We loved being along the Skyliner, but I think it influenced us to go to Hollywood Studios more than we would typically do during a regular trip. We were able to secure a dinner reservation at Topolino's and... I really wanted it to be better. I don't know if it was just the dishes that we ordered, but it just felt a little flat. He had lobster pasta and I had the scallops with risotto. I enjoyed the gnocchi appetizer. I probably should have ordered the filet.
The room was beautiful and I really liked the tub.
I feel torn, because while I loved the room, I missed being on the Monorail loop. Although, with HEA coming back, maybe I can convince my BF to take a weekend trip back to Bay Lake Tower...
But for us, that was literally the only complaint we had about RIV. Everything else is excellent.
