Description
Disney’s Port Orleans Riverside Resort combines two distinct areas, Alligator Bayou and Magnolia Bend, both exhibit the distinct characteristics of the mighty Mississippi and the upriver adventuresome and elegance of the late 1800’s in the Deep South.

Comprising an antebellum-style mansion and bayou accommodations, this charming Southern-style resort hotel is set along the Sassagoula River and is just a stone’s throw from the Downtown Disney area and Epcot. Enjoy Southern-style cuisine at Boatwrights, the resorts full-service restaurant which is modelled after a boat-making warehouse, or sip a late drink in the River Roost Lounge, an old farming exchange where southern gentleman would meet to discuss their deals on harvest wares.
Take advantage of the unlimited complimentary transportation to the Walt Disney World Resort Theme Parks either via road or water. When away from the magical Walt Disney World Resort Theme Parks, take time to cycle around the resort, take a boat journey or better still relax on a horse-drawn carriage!
