    Great resort, yes it probably does need to be updated since the decor is a bit worn out but the kids won't even notice. Both my daughters were so happy to be staying in princess Tianas room! I liked that we didn't get a carpeted room since I had read some reviews that they smelled a little. The only reason why this wasn't a 5 star was because we stayed 3 nights so on the 2nd night we should've gotten room service cleaning but that didn't happen. The personnel was cleaning the room next to us when we got back from breakfast so we decided to leave again and were actually home for a few hours to allow for cleaning. That did not happen. Other than that we had so much fun staying there and would definitely go back.

    The room was clean, but not quite what I expected from a Disney resort. Housekeeping was provided every other day, which was fine, but overall the room felt fairly basic. There was no room service and fewer amenities than I anticipated for a Disney property. I’d rate the room experience about a 3 out of 5.

    I wouldn’t say it was great. It was pretty good. The staff is friendly and helpful when checking in. We spent two nights but didn’t use any amenities. For us it’s all about parking the car and using the Disney provided transportation. The rooms are pretty good, but again, not great. The decor is slightly upgraded and the overall look is the same but beds, towels, blankets, soap and other normal use stuff is no better than your standard hotel. This is supposed to be a resort so that part doesn’t impress me.

    Negatives: Not a ton to do if you’re looking for constant entertainment, but if you’re looking to relax, great option. Can always take boat to Disney springs or French Quarter with more to do. Lots of pool options. Wish every pool had an accompanying hot tub. One hot tub option looked a little slimy - didn’t see anyone attempt to go in it while we were there. My wife and I were excited to experience the jazz club at French Quarter, but there was no live music on Tuesday and Wednesday when we were there. For the price at a New Orleans themed restaurant, they should offer entertainment nightly. Main reason I removed a star, would go with four and a half it it was an option. Also, arcade was too well lit - glare on all the games with a few of them having broken controllers/buttons. Also too much light for “movies under the stars” - needed it to be darker to actually see the movie screen. Super nitpicky but I’m bored waiting for my delayed flight home. Still highly recommend if you can’t afford big $ Disney resorts or you are just cheap like me and would rather give excess $ to charities/people in need rather than big corporations.

    We had our room on the second floor, no elevator . The room is ok a standard room pretty big size, with 2 full beds and a Murphy bed under the tv. It has few elements that lets you know that you are in Disney, mostly decorative. The major pool is farther away, but they still have a smaller pool just pool, no slides or disney touch , close by. The property was kept clean, but the rooms were not attended just every other day . The lawn is meticulously kept . Plenty of parking. No shopping or restaurant in immediate distance, you have to drive to the check in place for them . I think for the price even do is considered moderate Disney property and for being Disney I expect more .

    Housekeeping is no longer on a daily basis. Most times we had to call for more clean towels. The food in the food court is not very good except for the pizza and breakfast items. The soda machines were empty way too often as was the ice machines. This has been our 8th time staying at Riverside but the quality of the facility has gone down. French Quarter was so much nicer, especially the pool that was so beautiful & colorful. The food court was so much nicer & cleaner too. We would consider staying there instead of Riverside when we return next year.

    The property was great and the staff was so accommodating. Kudos to all of the staff. The only issue was that the bed was high and no real comfortable chair in the room. There were two chairs but one person in the party was not able to get in a bed so had to sleep in the chairs and they were not comfortable for them.

    Disney Resorts are the best for the magic, proximity, and convenience for transportation! Always have a great time there! The Royal guest room is a must when going to Riverside! The beignets from the French quarter are one of the best I ever tried!! Thanks for the sweet memories!

    I did not feel the room service was a good as I had hoped. For the amount of money, I would have thought that the room would be serviced each day. The cream for coffee was never re-stocked in my room and the sheets were not changed for the whole stay.

    There was a really nice fireplace in the lobby however one person arranged all the empty chairs in front of the fireplace and was verbally aggressive about not letting anyone else sit there to enjoy the fireplace. When I mentioned this to 2 Disney staff one of them stated that she could do this. So disappointing!

    The grounds are beautifully maintained. I liked the fact that there is someone checking details on entry to the resort. I was unsure of what days housekeeping would arrive even though we were told every second day and the sheets would be changed every 4th day, we were there for ten days sheets got changed once. Good food court if you don’t feel like going out after a big day at the parks. Buses can get crowded, plus one night we waited over an hour for the bus to pick us up from one of the parks.

They empty garbage and provide fresh towels every second day and getting extra coffee was never a problem but our bathroom wasn’t cleaned or sheets changed for our entire 7 day stay and the toilet was gross. I think they should do a proper cleaning at least every 3 or 4 days.

I Have the receipt and a screenshot of my reservation reservation that that States to Queen beds with one pull down twin bed. Seems like someone needs to be educated.

We gound our building no problem but took a while to find our room because there was not really a building guide to find our room. I will 100% rebook.

    This is my second try here. I do love the feeling this resort gives as a moderate resort. The disappointment that kills me is the loudness of the toilet flushing and the air conditioning units. They are sounding like jet engines at night and gets terribly loud. After complaining to the front desk about it, they did a good job til they didn’t. Apparently on our trip they accidentally corrupter/deleted the reservation and then they allowed some manager named James (UK) to handle it. It was such a gong show overall that we transferred after the first night to art of animation and have been happy here since. I tried contacting Expedia to ask what the process is to get this to work for a refund and go home. The experience has been lacklustre, I wanted just a explanation so I know what to do. But the agent was so gung ho calling it made no sense and I ended up just extending with the hotel directly versus dealing with Expedia. Horrific ordeal during my bday weekend.

    Just took my family for a lovely 2-night stay at the Disney Port Orleans Riverside resort. It was beautiful and had great amenities, plus the transportation to the Disney parks and Disney Springs was super convenient. The hotel room was very clean, and my 5 year old loved sleeping in the small pull-down Murphy bed. We had specifically requested that fifth sleeper room just so he could sleep in the Murphy bed, and Disney did accommodate us. Another big plus to our stay was that we were able to use our Disney app to do a mobile check-in/check-out without ever having to go to the lobby, and we used our Disney Magic Bands as the room keys. Staff members were friendly and helpful. Excellent resort, would stay here again.

It is the only place I've ever stayed where they charged me to park as an additional fee and wasn't included in my original room stay. Can't imagine they don't already make enough money that they should have to charge for parking. I could understand if we had had more than one vehicle for the one room, but we did not.
