OVERVIEW
Disney's Port Orleans Resort – Riverside was inspired by rural Louisiana and is nestled alongside the picturesque Sassagoula River. You'll feel welcomed back to a time and place where everything seems to move a little slower and simple pleasures flourish like magnolia blossoms in the springtime.
Be surrounded by the tranquility of the Louisiana Bayou as you enjoy the hospitality of a picturesque waterfront Resort hotel that embodies the traditions born of steamboat travel, formal garden parties, and mint juleps on the front porch. Take a romantic carriage ride down a shady lane, dine on delicious Southern favorites or simply sit back and relax and let the cool waters of the Sassagoula River glide by.
The Guest rooms at Disney's Port Orleans Resort – Riverside are divided into 2 distinctly themed parishes: the stately white-columned Magnolia Bend "mansions" and the quaint backwoods "cottages" of Alligator Bayou.
The Colonel's Cotton Mill building houses the Resort's Main Lobby that resembles a steamship ticket station with soaring columns and high ceiling. Inside the Mill, you'll find a variety of establishments that offer shopping, dining and entertainment. Pick up necessities at Fulton's General Store, grab a quick bite to eat in the Riverside Mill food court, sit down for a meal of Cajun specialties at Boatright's Dining Hall, sip a cocktail at the River Roost lounge or play a few video games at the Medicine Show Arcade.
If you feel like exploring a little bit, Disney's Port Orleans Resort - French Quarter is just a short walk down the pathway alongside the Sassagoula River. The scenic journey feels like you're leaving the rural countryside and arriving in the big city.
Disney's Port Orleans Resort – Riverside has been designated by the Florida Green Lodging Program, recognizing the Resort's environmentally responsible practices.
CHILDRENS ACTIVITIES
Located in the center of Disney's Port Orleans Resort – Riverside, the 3.5-acre Ol' Man Island is encircled by a bend of the Sassagoula River.

LOCATION
This waterfront hotel is near Epcot theme park, Downtown Disney Area and Disney's BoardWalk Area. It is a smoke-free Resort; smoking is permitted only in designated outdoor smoking locations.
