Greetings Chris and welcome to planDisney!
You are going to love the down-home feel of
Disney’s Port Orleans Resort-Riverside and its sister resort
Disney’s Port Orleans Resort-French Quarter which is a scenic walk or boat ride away!
Chris, you will be able to request a specific room type or location when you complete your online check-in on your
My Disney Experience account. I would also suggest that you contact a friendly Cast Member at the
Disney Resort Hotel Reservations phone number to get your request added to your reservation that way as well. It is always best to cover all your bases! Do keep in mind that while the resort will try to do their very best to honor any requests, they are not guaranteed.
Chris, I hope you like to swim! Port Orleans Riverside has one of the best swimming holes anywhere!
Ol’ Man Island has over 3 acres of splashing fun, including a 95-foot-long waterslide! Plus, there are five leisure pools throughout the resort that are perfect if you're looking for a quiet spot to hang out for a few hours during the day!
I highly recommend taking a scenic walk along the beautiful Sassagoula River to the French Quarter where you will find
Scat Cat’s Club Cafe and those mouthwatering Mickey shaped beignets! If you have a spare evening, head to
Scat Cat's Club Lounge for live jazz music Thursday through Sunday at 7:30pm. It is one of Walt Disney Worlds hidden gems!
Chris, you are going to have a spectacular adventure down on the bayou! Make sure you take some time to enjoy a Mickey Bar or two!
Kurt
