Disney just announced that the new Riviera Resort, opening this December, will feature a lounge that honors Walt Disney’s travels through Europe.

The new lounge will be called Voyageurs’ Lounge and according to Disney will offer guests an “an artful little gathering place” to relax and share vacation memories.

Voyageurs’ Lounge’s decor will be inspired by the books that Walt Disney collected and by Walt’s 1935 European “Grand Tour,” and will showcase some of Disney’s connections to Europe — which is the inspiration for the entire Resort’s decor.

Voyageurs’ Lounge will be located next to Le Petit Cafe, which we learned about in an earlier Disney announcement about the resort.
