Welcome to planDisney, Laura, thank you for your question. My family and I have been visiting the
Walt Disney World Resort for over 30 years and for a while, we called
Disney's Port Orleans Resort - Riverside home, but back then it was called Disney's Dixie Landings Resort. The Louisiana bayou-theming, coupled with the ability to walk along the river to
Disney's Port Orleans - French Quarter, makes this resort one of my all-time favorites!
You will be happy to know that you can request a microwave to be placed in your room, but they are subject to availability. I would suggest calling the
Disney Resort Hotel Reservations number as soon as possible, since your visit is coming up, to speak to a Cast Member and have the request noted on your reservation. When you check in, if any microwaves are available, a Cast Member will deliver one to your room.
In the event a microwave isn't available, you are free to use the microwave that is available in the
Riverside Mill Food Court when it is open, which is currently 7:00 AM to 11:00 PM.
I hope this helps, Laura, enjoy making memories on your Disney vacation with your family!
Cheers,
Brent
