Disney’s Port Orleans Resort
-Riverside
Do you love New Orleans? Is Princess Tiana your favorite princess? Then Disney’s Port Orleans Riverside Resort is the place for you! Hear the clip-clop of the horse-drawn carriage, take a stroll down by the Sassagoula River, or try your hand at cane pole fishing. At Riverside, you can do as much, or as little, as you like!
Built in the early 1990s, Riverside and its sister resort, French Quarter, combine to form the largest resort in Disney World. Rooms at Riverside were most recently refurbished in 2011.
Rooms at Riverside are dispersed through meandering pathways divided into two main sections – Magnolia Mansion and Alligator Bayou – with a large, central pool and centrally located food court and restaurant.
Riverside is conveniently located on the Sassagoula River with ferry transportation to Disney Springs. Bus transportation is available to all Walt Disney World parks.
Room Types
Port Orleans Riverside Resort has standard, garden view, pool view, and river view rooms available. Royal guest rooms are also available for your favorite prince or princess.
Your favorite Pineapple Escapes’ agent can help guide you to the ideal room type for your vacation!
Pools
Ol’ Man Island
Featuring a large waterslide and waterfall, Ol’ Man Island is the perfect swimming hole to relax and enjoy the sun. A hot tub is also available for your enjoyment.
Quiet Pools
Speckled throughout Riverside Resort are five quiet pools. While no lifeguards are on duty at these pools, there are nearby laundry facilities.
Pool Hopping
Guests staying at Riverside are given the privilege to pool-hop to Port Orleans French Quarter – a brief walk down by the river is all you need in order to experience an additional pool featuring a sea serpent slide and children’s play area!
