On October 4, 2019, Disney declared more vacation homes at the Riviera for the Disney Vacation Club inventory. This was the first declaration of additional inventory since Disney began sales for Riviera in March 2019.
The new Riviera declaration added 29 vacation homes to the DVC inventory:
- 3 Dedicated Studios
- 2 Dedicated One-Bedroom Villas
- 8 Dedicated Two-Bedroom Villas
- 15 Lockoff Two-Bedroom Villas
- 1 Grand Villa
Disney has now declared a total of 98 of the 341 vacation homes at Riviera for the DVC inventory. A breakdown of the vacation homes that have been declared to date is as follows:

- 9 of 29 Dedicated One-Bedroom Villas
- 26 of 90 Dedicated Two-Bedroom Villas
- 38 of 148 Lockoff Two-Bedroom Villas
