“Great week at Disney Port Orleans Riverside.”

Aug 27, 2026beth2019

We had a room in Acadian house on Magnolia Bend. The room was perfect for our family of four. Plenty of space for clothes and toiletries. Our room looked out to the car park it was a quiet spot. We were close to the north bus depot and one of the smaller pools. We have stayed at Coronado Springs previously so the restaurant wasn’t quite as big and got very busy in the evenings. I preferred Coronado for their dining facilities but liked Port Orleans for the grounds and our room location.

“Fab Resort - Great time at Port Orleans Riverside”

Aug 27, 2026Scotty2Hotty85

Good Resort, stayed at French Quarter last year, which we loved and I rated a 5! The rating is out of 5, if I could, I would give this resort a 4.5, but not a 4 as that would be too harsh! The main difference is this resort is much bigger and is harder to get around, unless you have a car. Cast members were super friendly and always available to help and lend advise, as you would expect with any Disney property. Grounds This is a very picturesque and great for families or couples that enjoy walking. The theming is around the New Orleans mansions and Louisiana bayou. The main swimming pool is great and opens late into the evening (10am to 11pm), the slide is great fun and the pool in general is large. They also have other smaller pools (3) located around the resort, these are standard pools with not slides etc. Rooms We stayed in a newly refurbished room and it was spotless. They are themed around Princess Tiana, which fits perfectly with the New Orleans vibe. The rooms are very spacious and have plenty of storage. The noise levels were literally non-excitant, even when the storms hit. Bed: extremely comfortable, very high for youngsters and I would suggest requesting bed guards. Location Location was very good, there is a boat which can take you to Disney Springs and operates regularly (every 15 minutes). As for travel to the parks, we had a hire car, but everything was within a 20 minute drive (they do have a bus which operates to all of the parks, but we did not use). Food and Dinning Boatwrights is the main restaurant (sit down service), again the food is themed around Louisiana and Port Orleans. We ate here once and would recommend it, very tasty and different to the usual Disney food. The Pasta was fresh! Otherwise, there is a quick service food court, this does get extremely busy at the standard food times - although the staff were fantastic considering how busy they where, it did put us off eating here. We ate here a few times and in general the food is nice and the dinning area was always clean.

“the original listed price is expensive, but if they upgrade you, not bad to try”

Aug 25, 2026ELKW

the room looks clean, the original listed price is expensive, but if you booked the cheapest Disney resort and they upgrade you to that, it may be a good try. There is ferry to connect this resort to some other places, but people always spend a whole day in the theme park, didn't get much time to experience the resort. The good point of staying in Disney resort is that you gain early entry to the parks , also free parking.
