About Disney's Port Orleans Riverside

Disney's Port Orleans Riverside is a Moderate Resort hotel re-creating the down-home appeal of the Louisiana 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. This charming Southern-style resort hotel is set along the Sassagoula River and is just a stone’s throw from Disney Springs and Epcot.

The hotel’s main pool area is located on Ol’ Man Island, a 3.5-acre refuge with a swimmin’ hole and a fishin’ hole. Fashioned after an abandoned sawmill, this pool is accessible by 3 wooden bridges and includes a 95 foot-long rustic waterslide built into the millworks. There are 5 additional leisure pools—3 in Alligator Bayou and 2 in Magnolia Bend—are available throughout the Resort.
