Hello Amber! Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel.
The Royal Rooms at
Disney's Port Orleans Resort - Riverside are themed wonderlands that fully immerses Disney Princess Fans is royal elegance.
When my family stayed in a Royal Room, we requested a room that we an equal distance between the dining and shopping options at the Main Building, the
Ol' Man Island Pool Complex and
Disney's Port Orleans Resort - French Quarter via the short walkway.
The Royal Rooms are located on Magnolia Bend, the series of ornate Antebellum-era Mansions that are naturally set in the middle of these 3 focal centers of activity at Disney's Port Orleans Resort - Riverside.
The walk from the Royal Rooms varies between 5-10 minutes depending on your building and room location. I recommend that you reserve a River View Royal Room as these rooms are closest to the main walkways for access to the areas of interest. In addition, you should make a request for a first floor room to avoid having to deal with stairs for the wheelchair and stroller.
While there are depots surrounding the Resort, requesting a room close to a depot will put you further from Resort-based activities. Besides, the main building has a depot for transportation around Walt Disney World Resort.

Have a Good Ol' Old Time Down the Bayou!
