    "Love the Theming of this Resort!"
    TripAdvisor user rating 5.0 out of 5
    Reviewed February 19, 2025 NEW
    Loved our 5 night stay at Port Orleans Riverside! We were in the Magnolia mansion room 8549. The room itself is a bit tight for 2 adults and 2 teenage children but we made it work and spent most of the time away from the room anyway. If you want to spend more time in the room, you may want to try a resort with larger rooms. Our building was a close walk to the Ol Man Island pool/bar as well as the lobby, restaurants and boats. We ate lunch and breakfast at the dining hall a few times and found the food to be overall good, nothing special but good. As far as transportation goes, we really enjoyed the boat rides to Disney Springs and had no problems taking the busses to/from the parks, never waited more than about 5 minutes for a bus. The theming of this resort is amazing with beautiful landscaping and it's a very peaceful way to begin/end your day after a hectic day at the park as the resort was very quiet most of the time. Would definitely stay here again.

    The best thing about our stay was when we accidentally left my daughter’s favorite necklace behind, we contacted the hotel and the housekeeping found the necklace in the room and they shipped it to us at no cost. The stay was great. We will be back. We liked the room, the food court, gift shop, and lobby area.

    "Amazing stay"
    TripAdvisor user rating 4.0 out of 5
    Reviewed February 06, 2025 NEW
    We just wrapped up our two-week stay at Riverside, and we had an amazing time. The room was perfect for two adults, but it could comfortably accommodate two adults and three children, with two double beds and one single bed. The room was cleaned every other day, with beds made and towels changed, and hot drinks were replenished at the same time. We stayed in the Gator Bayou area, Room 16, with a pool view, which was conveniently located within walking distance to everything. The pool was right outside our building, and it was the quietest one on the property. If you're looking for a more peaceful pool experience, this is probably the best option for you. The food court offered a variety of choices, but if you're on Quick or Full Disney Dining, I recommend driving to other resorts for a change of scenery and different food options, as Riverside can get a bit repetitive. We noticed that the food court was busiest after 8:30 a.m. The staff were always available to help or answer any questions we had, and we found that the bus rides to the parks were short—never waiting more than 10 minutes for a bus. We had a great stay and would not hesitate to stay here again in the future.

    "Nice place but more signs needed parking lot side."
    TripAdvisor user rating 3.0 out of 5
    Reviewed February 02, 2025 NEW
    Our room was comfortable and bathroom was pretty spacious. Getting to our room from the parking lot the first day was a nightmare and getting to the bus stop the first time. I regret going directly to room and not stopping by the lobby to get cast to show us things on a map that is big enough to see. After second day , we figured things out. There are signs side by the river that are clear and easy to follow. The parking lot side hardly any signs. The staff were very nice. The boat was a long wait. The bus is faster. A trip to sister resort for beignets was great.

    Not worth the price. Cons: Weak shower, slow to clogged drain, tv remote not working, phone not working, Room lights pretty dim, housekeeping every other day and not that much done when there. Dining hall food was just fair to ok. Friendly cast members but not knowledable about schedules. 1st fl. noisy at nights. Pros: Bed and pillows were nice.
