Hello, Jocelyn!
Welcome to planDisney! I am glad that you sent us your question.
Disney's Port Orleans - Riverside is one of my family's favorite moderate resorts at Walt Disney World Resort. My kids felt very fancy staying in one of Princess Tiana's Royal Guest Rooms...and they asked me to greet them with royal titles throughout that trip. It was a lot of fun, although they did not understand why I would not continue to introduce them as royalty back home!
I have found that the Cast Members at
Bell Services are always happy to help Guests with their luggage on their arrival and departure days. When you arrive, just let Bell Services know you are going directly to your room and would appreciate assistance with your luggage. It may take some time for the luggage to arrive in your room, but if they know you will be there, they do their best to deliver the luggage as quickly as possible in my experience. Bell Sevices is such a help on our family trips, which is why we bring extra cash for gratuities.
Did you know that Guests at Disney's Port Orleans - Riverside can also use the pools at
Disney's Port Orleans - French Quarter? Both pools are fun for our entire family, and it is nice to have multiple options on warm days. We also like stopping by
Scat Cat's Club - Café for Mickey-shaped Beignets. They are the perfect treat after spending the afternoon at the pool!
Jocelyn, have a wonderful trip to Walt Disney World Resort! We hope you contact planDisney again if you have other questions.
Wishing you a Great, Big, Beautiful Tomorrow!
Jen
