✨ Walt Disney World Resort Spotlight: Disney’s Port Orleans Resort - Riverside ✨
After staying in one of the newly reimagined Royal Guest Rooms, this resort has become one of my favorite Moderate Resorts at Walt Disney World and I can’t wait to go back.
What makes this resort so special is the atmosphere. It’s peaceful, beautiful, and feels like a true escape from the busyness of the parks while still delivering that unmistakable Disney storytelling.
The updated Royal Guest Room was the highlight of our stay. It was the perfect backdrop for a girls weekend! The Princess and The Frog-inspired touches feel whimsical and elegant, and the rooms are bright, fresh, and beautifully updated.
We enjoyed dinner at Riverside Mill Food Court, listened to Yehaa Bob perform at River Roost Lounge, used Disney bus transportation throughout our trip (I’m a sucker for a Disney bus) and even took the short walk over to Disney’s Port Orleans Resort - French Quarter for beignets (a must-do!).
We loved the gorgeous theming, storytelling, and relaxing atmosphere.
This resort is quite large, which means more walking and multiple bus stops depending on where you’re staying. A Preferred Location may be beneficial here, while Riverside’s neighboring resort, Disney’s Port Orleans Resort - French Quarter, has a smaller footprint.
For guests looking for a resort that feels relaxing, immersive, and uniquely Disney, Port Orleans Resort - Riverside is absolutely worth considering 🐸✨🎺
Have you stayed here before, or is it on your Disney Resort wish list?
