“A great experience”

Nov 04, 2025stormville

I had a very nice stay at Port Orleans-Riverside. The grounds are very beautiful and tranquil (the tranquil part is a nice change from the parks). I found service from the cast members to be excellent. They really care about the guests. The room and bed were clean, in good shape, and comfortable. Also, the room had tons of those little details that are a Disney signature. For example, the fixtures looked like they were made out of crates and a washboard. Light fixtures were themed as well. I didn't mind being on the second floor because I had only a carry-on bag. I was there during Halloween and they had some special events for kids. Since overall Disney service is perfect, I was surprised at one small lapse - the housekeeper threw away a toiletry item of mine. It was a small envelope and I guess she/he thought it was empty. The architecture of the buildings is also beautiful and fits into the New Orleans theme. Food at the Riverside Mill food court was uneven. Some items were very good (examples - gumbo and pizza), others not so good (waffles and pancakes). Port Orleans-Riverside is one of the mid-priced Disney hotels, but I would highly recommend it.

“Mid range Disney hotel with lovely ambience but no elvators”

Oct 29, 2025Allygonga

This hotel had lovely ambience but I wouldn’t recommend for several reasons. It’s made up of spread out 2 storey buildings with no lifts so we carried all cases up, I saw families carrying strollers with sleeping children up the stairs-not convenient. We weren’t asked at check in if we had mobility issues and could manage this (luckily we could). We are 4 people in a 5 person rom. There are 3 drawers to unpack into which is too little for a week. The cases fit under the bed which is convenient. The food hall is hectic and it would help to have a sign to help those on the dining plan navigate. The mobile order has limited drinks for dining plan so wasn’t worth using. On the plus side boats to Disney Springs were convenient and the pool was great. Check in was efficient and the shop is good.

“Average Disney Hotel - Prefer Port Orleans French Quarter.”

Oct 24, 2025thomasdB5664RQ

We've stayed at several of Disney's Resorts and found Port Orleans Riverside to be an average Disney hotel. We were luckily assigned to a "Royal Suite" which features portraits of princesses and some quite Tiana related theming. The room was overall clean, but does appear to be in need to some repair (Chipping paint, rusted fire sprinklers, damaged furniture, etc.). The hotel offers a shuttle service to all of the parks - But I found the number of bus stops at this single hotel to be excessive and it often took far too long just to leave the property. Staff were overall very friendly and helpful. This resorts offers a Horse and Carriage ride activity in the evenings - Which is a fantastic addition and allows you to see the entire resort. Overall we enjoyed our stay - But preferred the more compact French Quarter resort next door.
