This was our first time staying on site at a Disney Resort, so to be fair, we weren't sure what to expect. The facility was clean and grounds were beautiful. Our unit was towards the end of the development, so parking was very limited. I'd usually have to make a couple laps to find something relatively close. First impressions on the room was that it was very small. It was more of a motel room where the door leads to the outside sidewalk that is right in front of your window, which means traffic from other rooms walk by your window. The room was adequate, but was just expecting more for a Disney resort experience. The eating was a kind of large food court with several options. No food was included in our package. Breakfast was in the food court, which included the basics. Eggs, bacon, sausage, tater tots and a mickey waffle or pancake. Omelets and some pastries available too. Quality was fine and reasonably priced. Had a couple restaurants on site, but weren't open for breakfast and required reservations for lunch and dinner. They may have offered walk in, but we never tried. We also ate dinner a couple times at the food court. Same experience. Food was good, decent selection, reasonably priced. Shuttle service to the parks was hit or miss. Overall experience was fine. Would likely try another location or off site next time.

The staff was excellent. The room was clean and very comfortable. The facilities were top notch. However, there was a towel rack near the sink that's falling off. I found that the signage driving from the main building check-in was not very helpful. The road signs and building sections and names were clear. I mean if you walked from check in to the room all the signs and room numbers were clear but when you entered the parking lot there were no building names and if it wasn't for the staffs working in the area we would not have known the buildings or that our room was upstairs. This is our first visit to Port Orleans and now that we are familiar with the \"neighborhood\" it won't be our last.

Great resort, yes it probably does need to be updated since the decor is a bit worn out but the kids won't even notice. Both my daughters were so happy to be staying in princess Tianas room! I liked that we didn't get a carpeted room since I had read some reviews that they smelled a little. The only reason why this wasn't a 5 star was because we stayed 3 nights so on the 2nd night we should've gotten room service cleaning but that didn't happen. The personnel was cleaning the room next to us when we got back from breakfast so we decided to leave again and were actually home for a few hours to allow for cleaning. That did not happen. Other than that we had so much fun staying there and would definitely go back.

The room was clean, but not quite what I expected from a Disney resort. Housekeeping was provided every other day, which was fine, but overall the room felt fairly basic. There was no room service and fewer amenities than I anticipated for a Disney property. I’d rate the room experience about a 3 out of 5.

I wouldn’t say it was great. It was pretty good. The staff is friendly and helpful when checking in. We spent two nights but didn’t use any amenities. For us it’s all about parking the car and using the Disney provided transportation. The rooms are pretty good, but again, not great. The decor is slightly upgraded and the overall look is the same but beds, towels, blankets, soap and other normal use stuff is no better than your standard hotel. This is supposed to be a resort so that part doesn’t impress me.

Positives. Great staff - everyone very friendly. Comfy beds, spotless room, good shower. Excellent food with pretty much anything catered to our gluten free needs, just had to be willing to wait, but you can order ahead of time on the app if you’d like. Free boat transportation to Disney Springs and French Quarter.

Negatives: Not a ton to do if you’re looking for constant entertainment, but if you’re looking to relax, great option. Can always take boat to Disney springs or French Quarter with more to do. Lots of pool options. Wish every pool had an accompanying hot tub. One hot tub option looked a little slimy - didn’t see anyone attempt to go in it while we were there. My wife and I were excited to experience the jazz club at French Quarter, but there was no live music on Tuesday and Wednesday when we were there. For the price at a New Orleans themed restaurant, they should offer entertainment nightly. Main reason I removed a star, would go with four and a half it it was an option. Also, arcade was too well lit - glare on all the games with a few of them having broken controllers/buttons. Also too much light for “movies under the stars” - needed it to be darker to actually see the movie screen. Super nitpicky but I’m bored waiting for my delayed flight home.

Still highly recommend if you can’t afford big $ Disney resorts or you are just cheap like me and would rather give excess $ to charities/people in need rather than big corporations.

I was looking to book a Disney trip and couldn’t find it through the Disney website, I’ve booked with the Hotels.com previously and easily found a room at the Port Riverside Disney. I was able to easily link my itinerary number to my Disney experience app so I was still able to have all the amenities of the Disney app of early check-in end of heading to the parks early.

Will certainly be booking with Hotels.com if I am unable to find any rooms through the Disney app itself.

We had our room on the second floor, no elevator . The room is ok a standard room pretty big size, with 2 full beds and a Murphy bed under the tv. It has few elements that lets you know that you are in Disney, mostly decorative. The major pool is farther away, but they still have a smaller pool just pool, no slides or disney touch , close by. The property was kept clean, but the rooms were not attended just every other day . The lawn is meticulously kept . Plenty of parking. No shopping or restaurant in immediate distance, you have to drive to the check in place for them . I think for the price even do is considered moderate Disney property and for being Disney I expect more .

Housekeeping is no longer on a daily basis. Most times we had to call for more clean towels. The food in the food court is not very good except for the pizza and breakfast items. The soda machines were empty way too often as was the ice machines. This has been our 8th time staying at Riverside but the quality of the facility has gone down. French Quarter was so much nicer, especially the pool that was so beautiful & colorful. The food court was so much nicer & cleaner too. We would consider staying there instead of Riverside when we return next year.

The grounds are beautifully maintained. I liked the fact that there is someone checking details on entry to the resort. I was unsure of what days housekeeping would arrive even though we were told every second day and the sheets would be changed every 4th day, we were there for ten days sheets got changed once. Good food court if you don’t feel like going out after a big day at the parks. Buses can get crowded, plus one night we waited over an hour for the bus to pick us up from one of the parks.
