Port Orleans Resort-Riverside Review

Port Orleans Resort-Riverside
$$, Downtown Disney
Fodor's Review:
Buildings look like plantation-style mansions and rustic bayou dwellings. Rooms accommodate up to four in two double beds and have wooden armoires, quilted bedspreads, and gleaming brass faucets; a few rooms have king-size beds. The registration area looks like a steamboat interior, and the 3 1/2-acre, old-fashioned swimming-hole complex called Ol' Man Island has a pool with slides, rope swings, and a nearby play area. Recreation options here include fishing trips on the Sassagoula River, paddleboat and canoe rentals, and evening carriage rides. Pros: carriage rides; river cruises; lots of recreation options for kids. Con: shuttle can be slow.

Great Theming and Good Value

Really loved this resort....especially for the money. The theming is great, food court and restaurant excellent. It has a bar and entertainment too. Pool was very fun for the kids. Will definitly be returning here. Plenty to do and see. Only downside....the shuttle was slow and the registration staff not very friendly or helpful. Other than that, excellent!not impressed

we expected more from a walt disney world resort. this was the only lodging choice on disney property that could accommodate a family of 5 with 3 children under age 11. Having 2 adjoining rooms with small children was not an option, and the available suites were over $3000 for the week (not including park passes or mealplans.) The room was small and housekeeping was poor. We did not receive fresh bed linens all week, and our daughter's pillowcase was turned inside-out by housekeeping when it got dirty; it was not replaced. Dirty glasses were not changed when requested. We had 2 full size beds; a decent and comfortable nights sleep for my husband and i was practically impossible after a long day in the parks. There was a pile of human feces on the sidewalk outside of our building (probably from a small child) that was left for days for guests to sidestep. A sewage like smell was constantly in the air. WDW should pay more attention to making their existing resorts better instead of putting in a new luxury golf resort (the 4 seasons). If we ever go back to WDW we will NOT stay on disney property.A RELAXING VISIT TO THE OL' SOUTH

Our family of five had a beautiful experience for four days at the Port Orleans Riverside. Rooms were very clean, easy to find in the two story units. Restaurants were within a very easy walking distance. Employees was very friendly and helpful. We would return for another relaxing visit.
