Hi Sandra!
Welcome back to planDisney.
The closest Disney Value Resorts to
Disney's Port Orleans Riverside Resort are
Disney's Art of Animation Resort and
Disney's Pop Century Resort. These resorts are located close to each other, and share a Disney Skyliner Station. The driving time to Port Orleans Riverside Resort is around 12-14 minutes, traffic permitting.
The
Disney Skyliner transports guests high above the Resort, with a smooth, comfortable ride, connecting with EPCOT and Disney's Hollywood Studios. There are also stations at Disney's Riviera Resort and Disney's Caribbean Resort if you fancy stopping by to look around, or to enjoy a meal (I recommend breakfast at Disney's Riviera Resort -
Breakfast à la Art with Mickey & Friends at Topolino's Terrace - Flavors of the Riviera).
Take a look at this
interactive map, to see where all the Disney Resort hotels are located. The nearest theme park to Port Orleans Resorts (both Riverside and French Quarter) is EPCOT. Disney's Hollywood Studios is closest to the 2 Value resorts mentioned above. The only way to travel between Disney's Port Orleans Riverside and the value resorts when using Disney transport is to take a Disney bus to any theme park or Disney Springs, and then transfer to another bus.
The quickest way would be to use a Lyft rideshare - download the app to your mobile phone. You can choose from all the available vehicles, and the various prices. I have often used Lyft and have no complaints - they have always been reliable and inexpensive.
Please come back and visit us if you have any further questions, and you can
