Disney's Port Orleans Riverside

What Makes This Resort Hotel Unique

Step into the charm of rural Louisiana at this beautifully themed Disney Resort, where peaceful bayous and grand Southern mansions create a setting that feels both relaxing and romantic. From the elegant white-column homes of Magnolia Bend to the rustic, woodland feel of Alligator Bayou, this resort offers two very different atmospheres—both equally immersive.

It’s the perfect blend of nature, storytelling and Disney magic, giving you space to slow down while still staying close to the action.



🌿 Ol’ Man Island Pool

Tucked away in a lush, island setting, the main pool feels like a hidden retreat. Inspired by the tales of Tom Sawyer, this 3-acre area is packed with character and fun.

• An old-fashioned “swimmin’ hole” style pool
• A rustic sawmill waterslide
• A hot tub for relaxing
• Muddy Rivers pool bar nearby for drinks and snacks

There’s even a catch-and-release fishing spot and evening campfires, making this a great place to spend a full resort day.

👑 Royal Guest Rooms

For a little extra magic, the Royal Guest Rooms are a real highlight—especially for younger guests. Inspired by Princess Tiana and her royal friends, these rooms feature enchanting details and storytelling touches that make your stay feel even more special.

It’s a lovely way to bring that princess magic back to your resort after a day in the parks.

🚶‍♀️ Riverside Location

One of the best parts of staying here is the setting along the Sassagoula River. You can take a scenic walk over to the neighbouring resort, where you’ll find even more dining options (including those famous Southern favourites like beignets).

It’s peaceful, picturesque, and perfect for those slower mornings or evening strolls.

This resort is ideal for families who want a more relaxed, nature-inspired Disney stay—while still enjoying beautiful theming, space to unwind, and those little touches of magic throughout.
