PORiverside is my favorite!! Planning my 3rd stay at PORiverside (10 other Disney property stays total). This time however I’m going Solo for the first time! Treating myself to 8 days, 4 park days, going in 2025, celebrating 10 yrs cancer free! No comprising or bickering with siblings, fussy children or over heated moody partners LoL 😊 Gonna Eat, Drink, Play & Be Merry, can’t wait! Thanks for the great video!
I love Port Orleans Riverside! I’ve found that the buses run super frequently to and from the parks. I’ve waited longer for buses at the deluxe resorts. The hotel has such a relaxing vibe
Oh man I love Riverside so much 😭😍 we stayed here in February for our first visit to WDW for our honeymoon and got the bug instantly! Transportation was quick and very frequent, we never had an issue and always got to the parks at rope drop and we usually were some of the first to arrive! There is something so magical about walking around this resort, it's peaceful and the perk of having the Disney Springs boat transport is unbeatable. So relaxing and luxuriating. I miss the lobby smell 😅
This is where my family stayed during our WDW vacation back in March. We loved it. The grounds were so beautiful! The food court was great and the walk to the bus stop was not bad. My only gripe was the lack of Port Orleans Riverside merch at the gift shop. Otherwise everything was top notch and I highly recommend it!
Hot take, if you can't decide between a moderate or a value like Pop Century, go with the value. I have stayed here at POR, in the Royal Room, and Coronado. The moderate resorts are huge and so spread out. At Pop you can spend a little extra for a preferred room, giving you better location to lobby, pool and skyliner. It will save you money, as opposed to staying at a moderate, and you won't have a ton of extra walking to do when getting to your room. The only thing you give up is there are no water slides at the value pools.
I always recommend pop century it’s a great starter for people for extra transportation besides the buses but honestly the buses are really solid at pop! We’re thinking about trying art of animation or New Orleans next trip.
I’d love to see you guys do videos that you each plan a perfect day for one of your fellow allears crew members. Then they do everyone’s perfect day for them and decide which they like better. (Example: everyone creates their perfect day for Emma, then Emma does each of them and decides which she likes better)
The mill isn’t real… it’s for theming 😅 but riverside is the best Disney hotel in my opinion. Super quiet. I just wish there was more choice at the quick service…
Thank you for the review, love the hotel. I'm from the Netherlands and searching for places to stay for our holiday to Orlando in April with my wife, so this is very helpful. Great to hear that parking is free at the resort but also at the parks. Do you think the dining plan is worth it?

I have some serious questions about these rooms, do you mind if I ask you?
I'm surprising my kids with a trip there in Jan for their Christmas present. I can't wait!
We’re going the week of January 14th :) we are soo excited. Enjoy your trip.

I remember when it was just called “Dixie Landings”. Still call it that today.
Yes, me too! Went in the 90s, Magnolia Bend was called Magnolia ‘Plantation’. Planning my next stay at Riverside for March 2025, can’t wait!!

And room size. Mods are 340ish sq and values are 200s. For a family of 4 it does make a difference.
And the boat to DS
Thank you so much for this video. We are staying at the Port Orleans Riverside this Spring and your information will be very helpful!

Thanks Quincy for doing Riverside! Absolutely love this resort!
Love this! staying at French Quarter next trip but Riverside is def on the list!
My husband and I absolutely love POR! We tried a value one time but it wasn’t POR! All but one trip we stayed POR! ❤❤
We stayed there originally when it was Dixie Landings.
I loved my stay here earlier this year. I'd have no issue staying there again for my next visit
I’m going there for Christmas break and we are taking our dog!!!!
Twenty-five years ago, the Riverside Resort used to sell some of the best Fried Chicken and Garlic Fries. Then it all went downhill.

Checking in here in three days. Can’t wait! 🎉
This is where my family stayed during my very first trip as a kid! I don’t remember it so I want to go back to French quarter as an adult
Be here in 3 days!!
My family loves POR. I would rather stay there than most of the deluxe resorts.

You should have shown the transition in the mansions as you get further from the lobby.
Write in to the resort manager! You’re be surprised how effective that can be!!! Of course be encouraging while being constructive.
