Hi Mary,
Welcome to planDisney!
I am happy to hear that you have an upcoming vacation to the Walt Disney World® Resort! Disney's Port Orleans Resort - Riverside is such a special resort. My husband and I stayed at Disney's Port Orleans - French Quarter on our honeymoon and enjoyed walking around both resorts. On a more recent visit to this resort, I was reminded - the grounds are gorgeous! The rooms at Port Orleans - Riverside currently have a beverage cooler. You can review all of the
room amenities here.
If you have booked a Royal Guest Room, I hope you plan to bring your royal attire! As you prepare for your visit, be sure to check out the
planDisney Pocket Guide to Disney's Port Orleans resort - Riverside. Aside from the walkability of this resort, I love the
dining options. In addition to Riverside Mill Food Court,
Boatwright's Dining Hall inspires a feeling of New Orleans and a
Taste of the Bayou.
Staying at this resort puts you right in the midst of Tiana's southern hospitality. The main pool, Ol' Man Island is beautifully relaxing and the other leisure pools are quite lovely as well. I will say that this resort has multiple transportation stops for
Walt Disney World® Bus Service, so when you arrive, be sure to check with a cast member at the front desk to inquire about the order of bus stops during your visit.
Mary, I hope you have a chance to stop by
Disney Springs! My girls and I love to take some time to shop, stroll, and snack. Remember that you can use the
My Disney Experience Mobile App to use
Mobile Food & Beverage Ordering. And, finally, be sure to keep an eye out for the official opening of
Tiana's Bayou Adventure. We are
almost there!
Magic and memories,
Donyell
