    I am staying at Port Orleans for the first time this visit, I was just wondering which docking bay I go to to come back from Disney Springs to Port Orleans.

    Welcome back to planDisney, Natalie! 

    Whether it's Port Orleans Riverside or Port Orleans French Quarter, you’ve chosen a beautiful resort to stay at, Natalie. It won’t be long until you’re strolling along the banks of the Sassagoula River, stopping off for some southern hospitality at Boatwrights Dining Hall

    The Sassagoula River Cruise is an attraction in itself, and such a lovely way to arrive at Disney Springs for an evening of food, fun and shopping! You’ll arrive, and depart, from Marketplace Boat Launch at Disney Springs, next to Rainforest Cafe.

    If you haven’t dined at Rainforest Cafe before, I highly recommend a visit! My family enjoyed dinner there last year, and loved the atmosphere, it was truly unique. After dinner, we stopped in at Disney Days of Christmas for an ornament, which is a lovely souvenir to take home. 

    Top Tip: If you’re looking for a unique experience at Port Orleans, hop aboard a Horse-Drawn Carriage at the Riverside Levee Marina. It's such a lovely way to relax and explore the resort. 

    I hope this helps make your upcoming trip practically perfect in every way, Natalie! If you have any more questions, stop by and see me anytime at planDisney.

    Sending faith, trust, and pixie dust,
