Port Orleans Riverside

Take a step back to a simpler time and a slower pace and enjoy the relaxed feeling of a stay at the Port Orleans Riverside. 2,047 guestrooms make up this sprawling Old South themed resort. A meandering river, the Sassagoula, cuts through the property providing unique room views and scenic walking paths. Native southern trees grace the spaces between buildings, giving this resort a wonderfully immersive, escapist feel.

The resort's feature pool area is in the center, on Ol' Man Island, a sprawling complex featuring a pool, waterslide, playground, fishing, a bar, and more. Take a relaxing tour of the resort on a rental bicycle. For a more unique experience, horse drawn carriage rides can be reserved. The main building houses the Riverside Mill food court, one of Disney's best. In addition, a full service restaurant and bar are also here. If you're looking to be entertained, take a seat at the River Roost bar and listen to piano player "Yeehaw" Bob Jackson tickle the ivories and sing some favorite tunes. Port Orleans Riverside is one of Intercot's favorite resorts!

Main Building at Night

The Port Orleans Riverside and French Quarter are "sister resorts." This means that they share recreational facility access and guests may utilize the swimming pools at either resort. Each resort has its own main building, food court, gift shop, and front desk, but only Port Orleans Riverside has a full service restaurant.
