Disney Vacation Club is offering a “First Look” inside the Riviera Resort, opening in Disney World on December 16.

In the video we see the concept art come to life, Imagineers working on concept models, and inside the actual resort as it nears its grand opening.

Walt Disney himself was always interested in where artists studied, what influenced them, and how they brought their artwork to life. In this video you can learn about the artisans working on the Riviera Resort and see some of their artwork in progress.

The artists featured in the video share their artistic influences and how they are helping to make the Riviera Resort a resort that both inspires and feels like home.

In addition to learning about the Riviera Resort, you can learn more about the development of the Disney Skyliner system. The Riviera Resort is one of four resorts on the Skyliner system. Catch up on the resorts’ Skyliner station construction progress here!
