Disney Port Orleans
Port Orleans Riverside by p_a_h
Disney Port Orleans is a beautiful Disney moderate resort nestled on the banks of the peaceful Sassagoula River. Located in the Walt Disney World Downtown Disney resort area, Port Orleans is comprised of two separate sections: French Quarter and
Riverside. The French Quarter is a Disneyfied version of the New Orleans Mardi Gras and Riverside represents the antebellum south.
Port Orleans Resort was formerly two separate hotels, Port Orleans and Dixie Landings. In 2001 the two hotels were merged into one resort. The hotels were renamed Port Orleans French Quarter and Riverside, though the theming was relatively unchanged. All the rooms are the same at the different areas of the resort except the décor is changes to reflect the theme.
Boats ply up and down the tranquil river between Port Orleans Disney, Old Key West and Downtown Disney. You can walk from one resort to the other in about ten minutes or take a five minute water taxi between the two. Guests at each resort can use the amenities at either resort.
Disney moderate resorts, including Disney World Port Orleans, offer a host of amenities including swimming, boating, biking and fishing.
