Hi Jacqueline!
Disney's Port Orleans Resort - Riverside is a gem of a Disney Resort hotel. I am so excited that you have selected it for your upcoming vacation. I love a vacation on the water, and the prime location on the Sassagoula River makes cruising to
Disney Springs as enjoyable as being there. I think you will love it.
I am happy to confirm for you that a Preferred Room at Disney's Port Orleans Resort - Riverside offers 2- queen beds and 1- child-sized pull-down bed. That makes it a perfect choice for your family of 5!
Not only that, but your room will be located in one of the buildings that are closest to Sassagoula Steamboat Company (which some might think of as the lobby) for convenient access to the delicious flavors of
Boatwright's Dining Hall or the Riverside Mill Food Court. You will also find yourself just steps from Ol'Man Island for a day at the pool or energy-busting playground time. Plus, you will be very close to Disney Bus transportation. As you can see, you have made a great selection.
Do you have a
fisherman in your family, Jacqueline? The one place where my crew loves to cast a line is at Walt Disney World Resort. In fact, the first place that my daughters ever baited a hook themselves was right there at the Fishin' hole at Ol' Man Island. Hint: if you give it a try, you might want to warn your family that you are purchasing real worms from the bait shack. That was an unpleasant surprise for mine at first!
Finally, I can't think of a more perfect way to end a vacation day than in a
private horse-drawn carriage with the people I love along the banks of the Sassagoula River. Since there is space for 5, your family just might want to give this a try. It just might be a vacation highlight!
I hope you have the most magical holiday, Jacqueline. If there is anything else that planDisney can answer for you as you get ready for your big travel day, please let us know. We love to help.
Adventure is out there,
Sally
