A quiet respite
katrine K (Gainesville, FL) on Dec 07, 2025
My adult daughter and I stayed at Port Orleans Riverside for a two night trip. We found the grounds to be amazing. It felt like we were out in the wilderness and was incredibly quiet. The room was very clean and well-appointed with very consistent theming to the background story of Port Orleans. Like all Disney resorts, everything was in perfect condition with no signs of wear and tear. The layout of the room is not unlike the budget resort rooms. The toilet and shower/tub were in a separate space (a bit small) with the double sink and open closet in a separate space. There was a room darkening curtain that pulled across the sink area, so that you could move about without worrying about like waking someone else in the room. There were only two downsides. It would have been nice if there were an outside place to sit and eat. There are lots of benches along the paths, but the only tables are around the pool area. We found the food options a bit limited, but loved taking the boat over to Disney Springs. It is a lovely ride and a nice change from the buses. While it feels far removed, the bus service is dedicated to that resort and is a short trip to Epcot. It is so lovely and relaxing walking around in the resort and makes a wonderful break from the intensity of the parks.
Husband’s pre wedding room
Flyer165690 (Pompano Beach, Florida) on Nov 16, 2025
My husband stayed here and it was comfortable with lovely water views. He said everyone was extremely helpful, and they even gave him an extra hour in the room on our wedding day so he had a little bit more time to get ready and organized. As always, Disney has the best Customer Service and the prettiest resorts. Thank you so much! I am so glad he enjoyed his two nights there.
