Hey there, Terri!
Welcome to planDisney and thank you for bringing us an excellent
Walt Disney World Resort vacation planning question. I'm excited to hear you'll be visiting The Most Magical Place on Earth during the most wonderful time of the year! There's nothing like staying at a
Disney Resort hotel - especially during the holiday season. Let's work together to find and request a suitable room for your upcoming stay at Disney's Port Orleans Resort - Riverside!
Terri, you'll be checking in at my family's favorite Moderate Resort hotel on property. The lush, green grounds and cozy southern ambiance make for a comfortable stay for Guests of all ages and stages! You've mentioned you have reserved a room that offers a view of the river that winds around the resort. If your room will be in the Alligator Bayou section, I recommend requesting a room in building 14. This building's river view rooms are the closest on property to the Sassagoula Steamboat Co. lobby area, dining options, and the main bus stop.
Alternatively, if you've booked a room in the Magnolia Bend section of the resort, I recommend requesting a room in building 90 or 95. These buildings will require you to cross a bridge to reach the main lobby and dining offerings, but neither is more than a 5-10 minute walk from the main resort area. When you're ready to make a room request, I recommend dialing the
Disney Resort Hotel Reservations phone line. Terri, keep in mind: room requests are never guaranteed. However, in my experience, Cast Members will do their best to accommodate requests!
Terri, I hope you enjoy every magical moment of your stay at
Disney's Port Orleans Resort - Riverside. I know you'll love it as much as my family has for decades! If you have any additional questions before or during your vacation, you're always welcome to revisit us here at
planDisney. We're here to help you make the most of your time at The Most Magical Place on Earth!
Warm wishes,
Lauren
