Hey there, Vandy!
I'm absolutely thrilled to welcome you BACK to planDisney! It sounds like you're in the exciting early stages of planning an unforgettable Walt Disney World vacation! Even though your countdown might feel far away right now, the days will fly by faster than you think. Before you know it, you'll be walking right down the middle of Main Street, U.S.A., soaking in all the magic you've been dreaming about!
Port Orleans Riverside is such a charming place to call home during your stay. With its peaceful riverfront setting, lush grounds, and relaxed Southern vibe, it's easy to see why so many Guests love it here. The fact that you already have a Royal Room booked makes it sound even more dreamy...what a magical way to add a little extra sparkle to your vacation!
You'll also enjoy the convenience of the
River Mill Food Court, perfect for a quick bite before heading to the parks, and the fun
pool areas that are great for a mid-day break. And of course, one of the best perks is the
water transportation along the scenic Sassagoula River that takes you right to
Disney Springs for dining, entertainment, and shopping!
Guest rooms in the Magnolia Bend section of Port Orleans are currently undergoing refurbishment through the end of February 2026. Since this is where the Royal Rooms are located, you should be in one of the refreshed rooms by the time you visit next September...how exciting!
Since your visit will be during spooky season next year, and it's happening right now, I'd suggest checking out
Disney's Instagram page to see all the fun. It's a great way to get a little sneak peek of what's in store for your trip!
Thanks for stopping by planDisney again, Vandy! Come back and see us if you have any other questions throughout your planning...we love to help!
Magic Awaits,
Kami
