    This is a beautiful resort.We enjoyed our stay at Port Orleans Riverside. We stayed in Alligator Bayou building 39 and found it to be well located for the pool, main buildings and north bus stop. Buses were great and very regular. We never waited more than 8 minutes for a bus. The room was good. We had a 5th sleeper which suited our son. It would be too small for anyone over 5ft though. We did however think that there was not enough storage space. Only 4 drawers, 2 small shelves and a hanging rack. It really needs another set of drawers. We ate in the Riverside Mill food court a few times. Breakfast was fine but lunch and dinner are like hospital/school canteen food. We were disappointed with this quality. The pool was very nice but although heated, was still cold in October. Drinks at the pool bar are very expensive. We always found vacant sun loungers although these were by the baby pool. We did visit French Quarter during our stay and the sun loungers there are padded and much nicer than at Riverside. The boat to Disney Springs was lovely too (albeit very noisy!).

    We stayed at this resort in November 2024 and found the rooms to be clean and brightly decorated, good size with two double beds, tv, plenty of coffee for the coffee machine, bathrooms with separate wash hand basin area, the resort offers limited food options but if you are after a quick snack its fine, only 5 - 8 mins on the free buses to the parks and water taxi to Disney Springs takes 15 mins, we were made to feel very welcome like all the Disney Parks, no complaints.

    This is a really big resort. The grounds are huge. Finding the room was easy enough. You never have to talk to anyone as you just check in and check out on your phone. The rooms are very clean and whole not huge they are nice. The best part is that grounds are beautiful and nice for walking around. Parking is free.

    "Charge to stay here at Disney is not worth the expensive cost."

    When we arrived we liked to communal areas but reception had no staff other than a couple of cast members who were busy. So all the reception desk have never been occupied each time we have looked there is only cast members milling with iPads. Shame with all the cut backs to Disney and how special it used to feel. That all seems long gone and the Magic has disappeared somewhat. Room we have is basic the cleanliness is ok but could be better dust around the headboard. Facilities need updating considering we paid lots of money to stay here for 3 weeks we feel it’s not worth it. The early park entry by 30 minutes they offer staying on site is t worth the extra cost to stay at Disney. They will chuck you out the park early some days for special ticketed events that other people have bought. All extra themed activities are so overpriced. It’s so corporate now and money grabbing it makes me feel sad and cheated.
