Since I will be staying at Disney's Port Orleans Riverside Resort in less than 10 days, I thought it only fitting to blog about this terrific resort.
Disney's Port Orleans Resort is made up of two "regions"-The French Quarter and The Riverside locations. Disney's Port Orleans Riverside Resort offers guest rooms that can accommodate 5 guests with two double beds and a trundle bed. This is a great option and money saver for families of 5.
Southern architecture creates the setting for romance amid trees and flowers. The resort offers a step back in time into the heart and soul of the Southern region of our country.
The two themed regions are connected by a winding road and picturesque waterways to capture the mystery and romance of a trip up the Mississippi River from New Orleans to Natchez. But in Walt Disney World geography, resort guests can travel by flat-bottomed boats even farther "down river," to the shops and showplaces of Downtown Disney -- including the Marketplace, West Side and Pleasure Island. This feature make Port Orleans stand out. The boat trip "down the river" is beautiful and relaxing, it is a great way to get to Downtown Disney to enjoy shopping, eating and entertainment!

Southern-Styled Grace and Charm at Riverside
Disney's Port Orleans-Riverside is a 2,048-room fantasy vacation adventure depicting the lifestyle of the great Old South with wandering paths, picturesque waterways and the sounds of Cajun music. The resort includes mansion-style accommodations and rustic retreats. Most rooms sleep four, but some rooms in Alligator Bayou offer a trundle bed and accommodate five.
The cuisine is varied, with a blend of Cajun specialties and American fare at Boatwright's Dining Hall, a 208-seat family restaurant reminiscent of a wooden shipbuilding yard. The Riverside Mill food court, which seats 450, features pizza, roasted chicken, spicy fried chicken, pasta dishes and a bakery in a themed cotton-mill setting.
The focal point of Ol' Man Island is a 3.5-acre recreation complex with pools, spa, fishing hole and playground. Bicycles and boats also are available at The Marina at Riverside. The Muddy Rivers pool bar on Ol' Man Island will quench even the greatest thirst.
For a relaxing and entertaining evening, the River Roost lounge provides the perfect atmosphere. Next door is Fulton's General Store featuring a wide variety of sundries.
