Alongside a family-friendly pool, the pool area features a pool slide and an interactive play area for children inspired by European fountains.
New Disney cast costumes have been designed by Walt Disney Imagineering in partnership with Costuming to honour the new resort’s European Riviera theme. While the designers took cues from the Riviera’s landscapes, colours and art, their creations were also inspired by Hollywood artists and actors who visited the European Riviera and were influenced by the region’s style.
