Hi, there!
Welcome to planDisney, Hayley. I'm so happy you stopped by and even happier to hear you're planning a visit to the
Walt Disney World Resort this Summer! The summer months are the perfect time to enjoy your uniquely-themed Disney Resort hotel pool and the you-may-get-wet attractions in the theme parks like
Tiana's Bayou Adventure!
You're going to love
Disney's Port Orleans Resort - Riverside. My family enjoys the lush landscaping, peaceful Sassagoula River, nods to
The Princess and the Frog, and the heaps of Southern hospitality at this Disney Resort hotel. We've stayed at Disney's Port Orleans Resort - Riverside several times (I think I've actually lost count at this point!) and I can tell you that there's no reliable, consistent order to the bus service in terms of stops. In my experience, it's been more a matter of need than order. But I can also tell you that I've never felt that the wait times for a bus there have been unreasonable! I don't necessarily think that you're at an advantage in having a room near the South Depot close to Sassagoula Steamboat Company. I think that as long as you request a room near any bus stop, you'll be ready to roll!
Be sure to take a short walk along the Sassagoula River to
Disney's Port Orleans Resort - French Quarter during your stay at Disney's Port Orleans Resort - Riverside. Once you're there, head to
Scat Cat's Club - Café for freshly-baked, Mickey-shaped, Tiana-approved beignets. They're heavenly!
I hope this was helpful, Hayley. Please let us know if you have any other questions about your visit to the Walt Disney World Resort! We'd love to help you plan a magical stay.
