Disney's Port Orleans Resort - Riverside

Jennifer Regalado

The resort is fairly spread out. It was usually a 15 minute walk for us from our building to the main lobby, which I didn't like. So if you need anything from the lobby it will be at least a 30 minute round trip. I also didn't like that there are no elevators in most of the buildings. This was awful for unloading the car and bringing all our stuff up the stairs. It's hard to describe. But we are a family of 5, who planned on a 2 week trip. We had a lot of clothes, toiletries, stroller, case of water and snacks that needed to be hauled up and down the stairs. It was about 95* as we unloaded the car. You had to go up 3 stairs to get to the main level and then a full flight of stair to get to the second floor. It was just a lot of work. The resort itself is cute, enough. Originally I was disappointed that we were at Riverside and that the French Quarter didn't have any rooms, but in the end I'm glad. It is nice that because they are sister resorts, we could go to the French Quarter when we felt. We ended up loleing the Riverside pool better, so we didn't mind it. We also were able to cane pole fish, for an additional fee, which was definitely fun. I think it cost something around $15 for my entire family to fish. They provide the poles and bait. It was close to the Springs. Not close enough to walk, but a quick boat ride. My family likes taking the boats. We were close to EPCOT, which meant we had a low bus number for our return to the resort. We felt the return bus walk wasn't bad for most of the parks.

I recently stayed here and we loved it! Of course everyone was friendly because it’s Disney but there was one woman working in the shop who was great and gave us some tips, so shout out to her. The location is good, easy to drive into and bus access to the parks, and it’s very scenic. The best part was the room. We needed a disability accessible room and it didn’t disappoint. It was easy to get to, in and out of with scooters. It is a bit tight so will fit 2 smaller scooters but probably not two large ones. The bathroom was also great because it has a walk in shower with a floor drain and fold down shower seat. The accessibility was better than expected.

The rooms are extremely clean and well insulated from noise from adjacent rooms. Being a pet friendly resort, we were worried we would hear dogs barking but that was not a problem. The pools are clean and the walking paths are great. The mousekeeping staff was wonderful and did a great job. The busing to the parks was great and we never waited more than 15-20 minutes. We would absolutely stay here again.

Beautiful location and friendly staff. Beds were not the most comfortable. Rooms were nice. The grounds were very nice. The folks at the check in were great, housekeeping was great and the grounds keepers were great as well. My wife and I enjoyed walking around the grounds. The rooms were quiet and did not here much from people passing by outside. The only noise we heard was from the room above and it's plumbing.

One of our favorites resorts at Disney. It's perfect for our family of 5. They have a main pool and a bunch of smaller pools in each section of rooms. The hall area is a great size and there are at least 4 bus stops so no one has to walk super far to a bus stop
