Disney's Port Orleans Resort - Riverside

The accommodation impresses with exceptional service, cleanliness, and amenities, including multiple pools and spacious rooms. Its central location offers easy access to attractions. However, no disadvantages were mentioned.

I have mixed reviews of this resort. I'll start off by saying we enjoyed our stay and it was overall positive. Starting off with the good: Absolutely breathtakingly beautiful property. Especially if you wake up and take a peaceful walk around the resort in the morning. It really is pretty, relaxing, and feels secluded from the craziness of Disney. Our pillows were comfy. The food court has a lot of options. We love the princess and the frog theming, but think it could be laid on a little thicker, would love to see more touches here and there. The main pool was great. My son loved the slide. There is one hot tub at the main pool. I did wish there was a hot tub at the smaller pools because the main pool was so far away and the hot tub there was always full with lots of kids. I know, it's Disney, there are a lot of kids, but some quiet hot tubs at the other pools would be a nice addition. The boat ride to Disney Springs was nice. Things we didn't like: Everything is very spread out and you're doing a TON of walking just to get around your resort. Long walk from the parking lot, long walk to the lobby/food court, long walk to the pool, long walk to the laundry, etc. If it's raining, you're walking in the rain to get to anything from your room. When you're walking as much as you do at Disney, this gets old. It's also easy to get lost when trying to get back to your building. The numbers are laid out weird and the signs are confusing. Everything looks the same, so it's easy to get turned around IMO. Our bathtub was slow to drain, the ceiling fan was loud and shaky, that wasn't a deal breaker, but it seems some maintenance is needed. We enjoyed our time, but we probably won't stay here again. Mostly just due to the amount of walking. Everything else was great. Tips: The West bus stop is the first stop at the resort if you want to get a seat and not standing room on the bus. The lobby bus stop is the last stop. The boat ride to Disney Springs usually has a line at popular dinner times. We had to wait for 3 different trips to happen before we could finally get on the first night. I'd give yourself plenty of time to get to a dinner reservation, at least an hour, maybe a little longer just in case. On the way back the line was very long for the boat. We ended up getting a LYFT instead.
