    I'm looking to book a horse drawn carriage at Port Orleans Riverside in December 2025 but the app is showing no times currently, but is for Fort Wilderness sleigh rides. Will the carriage rides likely go ahead at Port Orleans Riverside this December?

    Hello Anthony! 

    Thanks for bringing your question to planDisney! Your reservation window has opened and it’s time to add the special Enchanting Extras that will make your upcoming vacation the best trip ever! 

    I also checked the reservation calendar for the Carriage Ride at Port Orleans Resort - Riverside and saw there were no reservations available after November 28. I reached out to a Cast Member who shared that the Port Orleans Carriage Rides are paused while the Holiday Sleigh Ride is offered at Fort Wilderness. 

    If you still want to book a carriage ride, the Holiday Sleigh Rides are offered at Fort Wilderness from December 1 through December 30, 2025. This experience begins at the Tri-Circle-D Ranch, where you can meet the horses that work around Walt Disney World Resort, from Main Street, U.S.A. to the ponies that pull Cinderella’s Carriage during Disney's Fairy Tale Weddings. If you have young children, pony rides are available on a walk-up basis for a fee, or you can schedule horseback riding if everyone in your party is 9 years or older. 

    If you’re interested in another limited time offering, the Behind the Seeds: Glimmering Greenhouses tour will be available at EPCOT beginning November 28. The Glimmering Greenhouses tour is offered in the evenings, while the Behind the Seeds Tour is still offered during the day. This reservation can be booked starting October 9, 2025, so you still have a few days to consider it. 

    Sorry this wasn't the news you were hoping for, Anthony. I hope I gave you a few alternatives that sound appealing.  If you have any more questions before your vacation, please send them to us at planDisney
