FROG FAMILY REVIEW
Disney's Port Orleans Resort - Riverside*
What we love
- Overall Frog Family's best pick of Disney World's Moderate Resort Hotels
- Tom Sawyer himself would feel right at home in the swimmin' hole on Ol' Man Island
- Some standard rooms sleep four adults but have room for an additional child on a fifth child-sized bed
- Within 20 minutes of all resorts by bus and a short boat ride to Disney Springs®
- Beautiful grounds with manicured magnolias and bayou "swamps"
- Above-average table-service dining at Boatwright's Dining Hall
- Princesses will love the theming of the royal rooms
- Mom and dad (and tadpoles too!) can enjoy a romantic horse-driven carriage ride along the banks of the Sassagoula River
- Free parking!
Keep in Mind
- There are several bus stops; the resort often shares bus service with Disney's Port Orleans Resort - French Quarter
- Although not as far as most of the other Moderate Resort Hotels, your walk to the lobby, pool and dining areas can be quite long if your room is far away
Notable Facts
- The food court is themed after a Southern cotton mill and includes a 35-foot, working water wheel
- The grand lobby is meant to look like the inside of a river boat, with various ports of call listed above
- Tiana's friends, the other Disney princesses, have left "gifts" in the decor of the Royal guest rooms. See if you can find them!
- No room is more than a four (4) minute walk to a bus stop
Frog Family Tips
- Upgrade to a Preferred Room and request to be in building 14, 15 and 18 in Alligator Bayou if you want to be closest the lobby and dining areas (not all requests are guaranteed)
- Request a Standard Room in buildings 17, 26 or 28 in Alligator Bayou if you want to be closer to the lobby and dining areas (not all requests are guaranteed)
- Take advantage of the laundry rooms being close to the pools and go for a swim while you're waiting for laundry to finish
Best For
- Families of five or those who want more amenities than the Value Resort Hotels offer but don't need multiple on-site table service options and the other amenities of the Deluxe Resort Hotels

Disney's Port Orleans Resort - Riverside Information
Return to the charming days of riverboats and Mark Twain and discover this moderately priced resort. Courtly pillars, grand staircases and splendid gardens blend with the Mississippi-style waterways and gracious Southern hospitality. "Mosey over" to Alligator Bayou and discover its rustic architecture, front porches and meandering walkways. A country-style pool, flowered fields and two-story cottages create the nostalgic romance of down-home charm.
