We’re definitely looking forward to the Disney Riviera Resort which is opening at the end of 2019 in December, and Disney has just announced a new Walt Disney-inspired lounge for travel lovers called: “Voyageurs’ Lounge.”
Everyone knows that Walt Disney loved to travel and the Voyageurs’ Lounge will be decorated and inspired by a collection of books that Walt himself gathered, including some during his famous Walt’s 1935 European “Grand Tour.” Fitting seeing as the resort is themed after the French/Italian Riviera.
Voyageurs’ Lounge will be located next to Le Petit Café in the new Disney Riviera Resort and joins the coffee/wine bar as one of the many dining options coming to this brand new DVC resort. Others include the Mickey Mouse-themed rooftop restaurant: Topolino’s Terrace: Flavors of the Riviera, Primo Piatto and Bar Riva.
Disney is calling it a place you go and relax with the whole family and it should be exceptionally cool for travel lovers like Walt!
For more info on Walt Disney’s travels, Jeff Kurtti’s new book “Travels with Walt Disney: A Photographic Voyage Around the World!” talks about what traveling meant to Walt and how it shaped the company as we know it today.
Here is an interview about that book with Jeff Kurtti:

My name is Ziggy and I love Disney, everything Disney! I grew up on Disney and it has and continues to be a huge part of my life. I started young when my parents took me to Disney World when I was 18 months old. Little did they know that would be the first of an uncountable number of trips we would take. I have so many amazing memories going to Disney with my family and friends and it has been interwoven into my DNA.
