“Brilliant Disney resort”

Sep 12, 2025Shelley C

Excellent stay at Port Orleans riverside. Staff are all so friendly and helpful. Nice spacious room with plenty of storage space & comfy beds. The water pressure in the shower could have been better which is my only niggle. We had the quick dining plan and choices in the restaurant were good. We stayed 6 nights so I think anything more the food would get a bit repetitive but was fine for what we needed. Bus service excellent. Overall a beautiful resort and a restful stay (apart from the all the walking in the parks obviously).

“Very Nice Time”

Sep 10, 2025KatMom1791

We stayed 2 nights in the Acadian section. Room was great - spotless, even the shower. Very quiet, no outside noise. TV was great. Utilized the arcade, fun playing skiball. Nice gift shop, even able to buy distilled water for my husband's CPap machine. Preferred Riverside over last stay at French Quarter.

“Good resort - worth the money”

4th time we've stayed here and it's still one of the better resorts to stay at. The only things holding back a 5 star review is the disturbances at night in the pool area, and the irregular housekeeping. While the smaller pools state that it closes at 11pm, we noticed on a few occasions we could hear shouting and screaming from guests in the pool at half 11 or more in the night. Would probably make sense to have a member of staff go to check everyone is out the pool at the agreed time and nobody is causing any other guests sleepless nights. The housekeeping/maid service is another iffy point. While our first week was brilliant, the second week was a nightmare. We had an ADR at 5pm and were in the process of getting ready when we heard a knock at the door at 4pm; it was housekeeping asking if they could come clean the room. Told them it was far too late as we we had members of our party getting ready or using the shower. Two days later we came back from Magic Kingdom at 3pm and noticed our room had not been done again, with another ADR booked for 5:30pm. We waited down by the smaller pool area and watched the housekeeper/maid clean the room opposite us. However, after she finished that room, she took her cleaning cart and bypassed our room entirely and went to another room further down the hall. We proceed to chase after her and asked her why she skipped our room. She then blatantly lied to our face and showed us her phone to say she was just going to do it. She pulled her cart back to where it was originally and proceeded to clean our room. If she was planning on cleaning our room next, why did she move her cart and bypass our room entirely and then move the cart back to where it was, outside our door in order to clean the room? She got caught red handed as she did not think anybody was watching and tried to come up with an excuse. Safe to say, the 2nd week housekeeping clearly don't have a schedule or routine and just make it up as they go along. However, the 1st week were brilliant!
