Welcome, Kara! I'm glad you stopped by planDisney because, as Tiana would say, "You're almost there!" You'll be arriving for your
Walt Disney World Resort vacation before you can kiss a frog, so let's talk about the recreation offerings at your resort hotel.
Disney's Port Orleans - Riverside was the first resort my family chose as its home-away-from-home many years ago. I can still picture my mom holding my then-toddler's hand as we walked along the beautiful grounds. This resort is stunning!
I chatted with a princely Cast Member who said complimentary pool towels are available at all of this resort's pools. Having that option is so convenient. I've also purchased beach towels at the resort gift shops. They often have exclusive designs that make wonderful souvenirs.
My son loved the waterslide at the
Ol' Man Island pool, but I hope you find time to check out the other five leisure pools. My top tip is that guests staying at this resort can hop over to
Disney's Port Orleans - French Quarter to enjoy the pools there. Finally, don't forget that both resorts offer a complimentary
water taxi to Disney Springs. No Disney visit is complete until I have a cookie from
Gideon's Bakehouse!
Kara, talking about this fabulous resort with you has brought back many magical memories. I think I need to book a stay there soon! I hope you make some memories of your own, and please stop by
planDisney anytime. We'll climb the mountain and cross the river to help!
Magic awaits,
Elaine
