Hiya, Melissa! Thanks for bringing this great question to planDisney.
The evening star is shining bright, so make a wish and hold on tight. There's magic in the air tonight – and anything can happen! It sounds like you have a very magical visit coming up at
Disney's Port Orleans Resort - Riverside. I just stayed at this resort a few weeks ago and can tell you that it was one of my favorite visits! You won't want to miss grabbing a pimento BLT from
Riverside Mill Food Court or walking down the Sassagoula River to grab a few Mickey-shaped beignets from
Scat Cat's Club - Café at
Disney's Port Orleans Resort - French Quarter!
Melissa, when looking at the
Room Rates online and checking with a Cast Member, it appears as though preferred rooms are typically equipped with queen beds. With that being said, my best tip would be to book the room that most closely matches what you're looking for – decide if it's most important to have a preferred room or a room with a king-sized bed, and make sure you book that rate specifically. Then, reach out to a Cast Member by
phone or through the Chat feature for any additional requests you may have! For example, you could book a room that has a king bed and request a building that's closest to the lobby. While nothing is guaranteed, they'll always try their best to accommodate your requests! Having stayed at this resort a few different times and always in a new section, I can tell you that you'll fall in love with this resort, no matter where your room will be.
Before you arrive, be sure that you've taken some time to download and explore the
My Disney Experience app! This app feels a little like holding a magic wand in your hand, making sure that you won't miss a minute of the magic. You'll be able to view park maps, check wait times for attractions, join
virtual queues, and even
mobile order food! And if you have any other questions, please write to us again. We're always happy to help!
Wishing you the very merriest,
Michelle
