Disney's Port Orleans Resort - Riverside

Lisa Kelley

My family stayed at the hotel 2 nights in August & we loved the way it’s situated on the water with easy access for the boat ride to Disney Springs. The rooms were clean & cutely decorated with Princesses, which my granddaughters loved. I accidentally left my reading glasses in the room upon checkout (thinking I lost them elsewhere). The staff found them in the room, sent an e-mail letting me know and overnighted to me at NO CHARGE!! This is top notch. We will definitely stay here again. Thank you Port Orleans staff for your courtesy & stay classy! - The Kelley’s

I am working on trying the different Disney Resorts, as I haven't been let down yet. I'm always impressed at cleanliness with how many people Disney caters to daily. And, how amazing so many of their cast members are!!! There is so many things about Disney that is truly magical. Port Orlean - Riverside is a quaint Bayou retreat with neat amenities to match. It's a perfect spot for those that like to be on-sight, but be away from too much hustle and bustle, with quick access to Disney Springs vis riverboat. This seems to be a great spot for those Disney lovers with dogs, as I saw several families with dogs on leashes. I can't wait to try my next Resort!

Our family of five had a wonderful experience staying at Port Orleans. We were situated in building 24, which was conveniently located less than a two-minute walk from a bus stop on the west side of the property, making transportation to and from the parks a breeze. The rooms were spacious enough to accommodate all of us comfortably. One practical tip for future guests: the mini-fridge does not have a freezer compartment, which is something to consider if you plan on using reusable ice packs for a cooler. Despite being a large resort, the amenities were fantastic. The main pool was a highlight for both kids and parents, and we happily spent a full day there. There is only one slide but kids did not wait long to go down it. The atmosphere was lively, with a kid-friendly DJ and affordable crafts available for only $3. The adjacent bar offered small plates, which was perfect for poolside relaxation. While the main food hall can get crowded, the staff operates with impressive efficiency. They also have gluten free options for people that have celiac disease and were very accommodating. We also loved the scenic 30-minute boat ride to Disney Springs, which was a pleasant journey even on a hot day. I would highly recommend this resort to other families.

Convenient to the buses that took you to the different parks. Staff was courteous. Helpful answered all questions you had. The resort had pools even had a fishing hole where you could actually fish. Nice walk around through the resort. Very nostalgic we stayed there back in 2013 and requested the stay there again this year.

Upon arrival we noticed how hot our room was, we called for someone to look into this. A maintenance worker came and said the air conditioner filter was dirty-and changed it. At this resort you can’t lower the AC lower than 68 degrees. The maintenance worker was able to lower it for us. The temp never went below 70 even after the air filter change. We were never offered to move rooms. The mini fridge also was not getting cold. We had to put ice in bags to put in the fridge. Cleaning only came in one time during our 5 day stay. We did not have a door hanging sign that said do not disturb. There were not any elevators to get to your rooms, only stairs- so if you need help getting up stairs I recommend asking for bottom floor rooms. Other than everything listed above, we enjoyed the beds and room in general. The food court was perfect! Lots of pools to choose from. Enjoyed the gift shop and the easy access to the bus transportation was great.
