Disney's Port Orleans Resort - Riverside

Gray Beaghan

Nice moderate level resort at Disney on the river with access to French quarter as well. Something to be prepared for here is it is a very large compound so you will do some walking most likely from parking lot to room, room to pool, room to dining, etc. it’s not really that much walking but after a 20k step day in the park it really seems like a lot of walking especially if your just visiting the fountain machine. Rooms were nice but small All the staff was great Quick service dining was good but not really blown away by anything. Mobile ordering is not up to date with what is offered in the food court (more options in person than mobile ordering) didn’t eat at the table service place but it looked nice The river roost bar/lounge and main pool are the stars of the show. Most of the week they have wacky bob jackson as the entertainer from 830-0000 and he is fantastic. Kids are welcome in the lounge and the bartenders were great. Large pool with slide and could usually find a spot to sit but it’s crowded most of the day. Some other amenities available we didn’t have time to try during our stay. Very beautiful grounds. Probably won’t stay here again with other resorts available but it’s a good place to stay if you are in the market for a moderate resort. Only transport available is buses to park. They have boats to Disney springs and French quarter

It's a moderate value hotel that does not feel like a moderate value hotel. The grounds are very quaint & the pool is never overly crowded. The convenience the Disney Springs via boat and the convenience to the parks using the bus right outside the door makes this the perfect location. The food court is not very big at all but you have enough options where you're not overwhelmed with decisions of what to eat. The horse and carriage ride through the resort is really nice.

This resort is so nice. It's quiet. Well kept. Very clean. The resort restaurant and food court is within walking distance to our room. Staff was nice and very helpful. My only complaint is the gift shop has a very strong floral scent that can give you a headache. We will be staying here again

This was our first Disney resort stay and it was incredible! The resort grounds are impeccable, the staff was outstanding, and the theming is so immersive! The Riverboat transportation to Disney Springs was a huge perk - it was so convenient and a much more enjoyable way to travel than taking the busses. We did the horse and carriage ride and it was such a great experience - very unique and memorable for our last night! We had a couple of issues with our room but I contacted Disney and they handled the situation professionally and prompt. Less than 2 hours after we got home, I booked another stay for later this year with the bounce back offer! LOVE that bounce back, and we CANNOT wait to come back! I could honestly spend a whole day at this resort and never leave - it’s a huge property and they have different dining options (quick service and sit down), plus 5 pools and one massive pool in the middle of the resort! I HIGHLY recommend this resort for your next Disney resort stay!

We Love it. we had such a great time. I do suggest getting the meal plan deal or bringing your own food because restaurant and cafeteria are expensive, they do have a small refrigerator but no microwave in the room. Buses running about every 15 minutes to all theme parks. They have several pools at the resort.
