Disney's Port Orleans Riverside Resort Full Tour | Rooms, Pools, Dining and More

Disney's Port Orleans Riverside Resort is a moderate resort at Walt Disney World with Louisiana theming, a boat straight to Disney Springs, horse drawn carriage rides, and fishing right on property. In this full resort tour I am walking you through everything this resort has to offer, from the rooms to the pools to the dining and the transportation. Port Orleans Riverside sits on the Sassagoula River and it almost feels like two resorts in one. Magnolia Bend has the big stately mansions with the white columns and the fountains, and Alligator Bayou has the rustic cottage feel tucked back in the trees. I am showing you both sides, including Arcadian House, Magnolia Terrace, Oak Manor, and Parterre Place, plus the Royal Guest Rooms themed to Princess Tiana and Prince Naveen. We are also covering all four bus depots, the boat over to Disney Springs, the Old Man Island main pool and water slide, all five leisure pools, the laundry rooms, Boatwright's Dining Hall, the Riverside Mill Food Court, the River Roost lounge, Muddy Rivers pool bar, and a full walk through Fulton's General Store with prices. Plus the fun extras most people do not know about, like the horse drawn carriage rides, the fishing hole, the Surrey bike rentals, the campfire on the bayou, and movies under the stars. This video is for you if you are thinking about booking Port Orleans Riverside, if you are comparing Disney World moderate resorts, or if you just want to add this one to your next Disney resort hop. It is one of the prettiest and most relaxing moderate resorts at Walt Disney World, and it is close enough to Port Orleans French Quarter that you can walk between the two. 00:00 Intro 00:26 What Makes Port Orleans Riverside Unique 01:20 Two Resorts In One: Magnolia Bend and Alligator Bayou 03:09 Port Orleans Riverside Room Types 05:49 Resort Entrance, Bell Services and Lobby Tour 08:53 Magnolia Bend Walkthrough 16:49 Alligator Bayou Walkthrough 20:06 Disney Bus Transportation and All Four Depots 24:42 Boat To Disney Springs From Riverside 25:49 Old Man Island Pool and Water Slide 28:10 Leisure Pools and Laundry Rooms 31:03 Resort Activities, Arcade and Fishing Hole 36:17 Horse Drawn Carriage Rides and Campfire On The Bayou 39:37 Boatwright's Dining Hall and Riverside Mill Food Court 46:10 River Roost Lounge and Muddy Rivers Pool Bar 47:58 Fulton's General Store Merchandise Tour 59:16 Final Thoughts On Port Orleans Riverside What you will see in this video: 🏛️ Magnolia Bend mansions, fountains, and the Royal Guest Rooms buildings 🌿 Alligator Bayou rustic cottages and the quiet leisure pools back there 🚌 All four bus depots plus the boat ride to Disney Springs 🏊 Old Man Island main pool, the water slide, and all five leisure pools 🎠 Horse drawn carriage rides, the fishing hole, Surrey bikes, and the bayou campfire 🍽️ Boatwright's Dining Hall, Riverside Mill Food Court, River Roost, and Muddy Rivers 🛍️ Full Fulton's General Store tour with resort specific merch and prices Would you stay at Disney's Port Orleans Riverside Resort?
