Disney’s Port Orleans Riverside Resort is a Moderate resort at Walt Disney World inspired by the Louisiana Bayou. And, just like it’s sister resort – Port Orleans French Quarter, it has a very romantic feel with beautiful pathways for a stroll aligned with manicured gardens, stunning wilderness, and the Sassagoula River. Disney does many things well and, one thing they truly outdo themselves with every time is theming. Theming at Disney’s Port Orleans Riverside Resort is clever and beautiful! This resort is broken up into sections including Alligator Bayou and Magnolia Bend. Another appealing thing about this resort are the Royal Rooms inspired by your favorite Disney Princesses!
