Resort

This is the page for the resort. So far, it looks like Port Orleans Riverside will the be most efficient option, because it sleeps 5 people. Disney is VERY strict about it's sleep limit for people, so our opti ons are vastly limited.

Port Orleans - Riverside
Disney’s Port Orleans Resort Riverside 1251 Riverside Drive Lake Buena Vista Florida 32830-1000 USA

The themeing is New Orleans on the River. (obviously)  The rooms are not as pretty as the pictures we saw, but they are still pretty nice post- renovation. You can see the blue bedspread in the bottom corner in the photo. There are only three drawers, so we'll probably live out of our suit cases. It's not bad, it's honestly what we did at our Honeymoon.

The "Murphy bed" is actually up off the floor, a step up from the trundle beds they had originally. Louie is floating on his back, with Tiana and Naveen on his belly. I think Gavin will find it super cute.

Eating at the Resort
"If you are looking for good food fast, the Port Orleans Riverside food court is available all day long featuring fresh baked goods, pizza, pasta, hamburgers and some fantastic Southern specialties. The Riverside Mill also features a country market with prepackaged items to grab and go."

This is similar to how our other resort was. You go to the station you want and then they ring you up at the end I believe.

Pool


"Down by the levee, just over the bridge lies Ol’ Man Island, full of water adventure. It’s an old fashioned “Swimmin’ Hole” with a large, rustic water slide fashioned after an old saw mill and built into the mill works.

The main feature pool at Riverside is a fun swimming area with waterfalls to duck under and a curved slide to hurtle down, along with sun beds and a pool bar for the adult aprés-swim time. There is also a separate shallow children’s pool and a jacuzzi hot tub right next to the main pool area."

Opening hours: 7am until midnight, although it’s not uncommon to still find people swimming well after that.

Lifeguard duty hours vary by season, and the water features and slide only operate while lifeguards are present.

Generally, lifeguards are on duty from 10am—10pm from the end of May until the end of August, with shorter hours of 10am—8pm during the rest of the year.
