Hi Dianne! Welcome to planDisney.
My family stayed in a Royal Guest Room at
Disney's Port Orleans Resort - Riverside for my daughter's birthday a few years ago, and we absolutely loved it. There are so many enchanting Disney details in the room (my very favorite is the sink faucet), and we loved snuggling in for the night and switching on the in-headboard fireworks display! We've stayed at many Disney Resorts Collection hotels, and this one truly did feel fit for young royalty.
The Royal Guest Rooms are located in the buildings known as "the mansions" in the Magnolia Bend section. These buildings have lovely courtyards with royal touches and, from the front of the building, a beautiful view of the Sassagoula River. One of my favorite things about staying here is the lovely walk along the river to
Disney's Port Orleans Resort - French Quarter, where you will find Mickey-shaped beignets at
Scat Cat's Club and lots of delicious New Orleans-style food at
Sassagola Floatworks & Food Factory, and these rooms are perfectly located for a riverside stroll. Our
planDisney Pocket Guide to Disney's Port Orleans Resort - French Quarter is filled with our tips for having the BEST stay ever.
Another great benefit to staying at Disney's Port Orleans Resorts is the water transportation to
Disney Springs. There are so many amazing dining locations to choose from - on our last visit,
The BOATHOUSE was a standout for my family - as well as shopping, coffee, treats, and entertainment. My family usually plans a "down day" where we explore our resort, swim, and spend some time in Disney Springs. The
Disney Parks Blog is a great resource for the latest shopping and dining must-dos - love reading their Foodie Guides as I count down to a visit.
Enjoy your stay at Disney's Port Orleans Resort - Riverside, Dianne! If you think of any further questions as you plan and dream, please come back and see us. ChEARs to a vacation that is princess-perfect!
Wishing you much magic,
Robyn
