4* Port Orleans Riverside
Descrition / Location
Guests of this resort are eligible for complimentary Disney’s Magical Express Service – motorcoaches take you from Orlando International Airport to your Disney Resort hotel, while Disney picks up your bags and take them straight to your room.
What to expect: Located on the Sassagoula River, this resort evokes the days of Mark Twain and riverboats on the Mississippi, complete with a huge paddlewheel outside Boatwright’s Dining Hall. Distinct styles of architecture include the rustic charm of the Alligator Bayou area and the stately grace of Magnolia Bend, which encompasses an antebellum mansion. An old-time water hole, complete with slide, is located on Ol’ Man Island, along with a spa, children’s pool, and playground. Five other pools are tucked around the grounds. Guests can rent bikes and boats at the Riverside Levee or fish with cane poles in the fully stocked Fishin’ Hole. Horse-drawn carriages carry guests throughout the hotel grounds at night.
Accommodations
Disney's Port Orleans Riverside resort features 2,048 guestrooms in buildings set around the Sassagoula River and its various waterways. Decorated in the style of the era of riverboats and Mark Twain, the rooms fall into two themed areas: Magnolia Bend offers antebellum-style architecture in a stately three-story mansion with two-story wings that spread along the river, and the Alligator Bayou section features rustic, country-style lodges that are two stories high (no elevators). All rooms have in-room safes, TVs, and refrigerators. Many have views of the courtyard, the landscaped grounds, or the river. High-speed Internet access is available.
