    Hi please could I ask we are planning to hop over on the skyliner on our first night of arriving to have a drink at the Topellinos terrace bar we don’t have a dinner reservation we just wanted a drink would this be possible thank you

    Hi Leander,

    Thank you so much for stopping by planDisney with your question! I have to say, there’s something so magical about gliding through the sky on the Disney Skyliner—it feels almost like your own flying carpet ride as you float toward Disney’s Riviera Resort. The views are breathtaking, and it’s such a relaxing way to begin any Disney day. 

    Now, onto your question! The bar at Topolino’s Terrace is available on a first-come, first-served basis and is subject to availability. I definitely recommend arriving early if you’re hoping to snag a seat, as once the bar fills up, the Cast Members kindly let Guests know there’s no more space. Timing is especially important if you’re hoping to be there around when Luminous The Symphony of Us starts, the EPCOT firework show—it can get quite busy. For example, my husband and I once tried to grab a spot on the Fourth of July (a very popular holiday at Disney!) and, sadly, we couldn’t get in.

    If having a seat is important for your evening, I recommend booking a dining reservation through your My Disney Experience app. You may also want to check for walk-up availability in the app during your visit, as Topolino’s sometimes has those spots open up, too—almost like a little sprinkle of pixie dust!

    Leander, I hope this helps you plan a magical evening at the Riviera. If you have any more Disney questions as you plan, please stop by again—we’d love to help make your vacation practically perfect in every way.

    See you real soon,

    Christina
