The Spotlight on Disney's Port Orleans Resort - Riverside

Relaxed Riverside Charm Just Outside the Music Scene

Modern comfort meets Southern charm at Disney's Port Orleans Resort – Riverside, a laid-back, beautifully themed resort in Lake Buena Vista. Styled like a grand Louisiana bayou estate, this resort is tucked away along the Sassagoula River, giving you a calm, scenic base while still being well-connected to Orlando's buzzing entertainment and concert venues. With top-notch service, on-site dining, and classic Disney hospitality, it’s an ideal stay for concert-goers who want both energy and ease.

Why Concert-goers love it

This resort is a great pick if you're heading to a show at nearby Orlando venues but want to retreat to peace and quiet afterward. The complimentary shuttle service makes getting around simple—even after a late night. Check-in is available from 3:00 PM and express check-out by 11:00 AM keeps things easy. The property is peaceful and smoke-free, with quiet rooms featuring blackout curtains and comfortable amenities to help you wind down after the encore.

Who this Hotel is great for

Groups of friends will love the spacious grounds and poolside bar. Solo travelers can count on safety and a friendly concierge to help plan their musical adventure. Couples will appreciate the romantic riverside setting and cozy rooms. Fans needing a quiet recovery will enjoy the calm, tucked-away atmosphere. Budget-conscious music lovers benefit from on-site conveniences like vending machines and shuttle services that help cut costs.

Food and Drink Options

Grab a bite no matter the hour thanks to 24/7 snack vending machines and convenient room service. The resort offers a homemade breakfast each morning—perfect after a long night out. On-site dining and a relaxing poolside bar round out your options, and you’ll find more eateries just a short ride away.

Nightlife Options

While the resort keeps things mellow, you can enjoy a casual drink at the on-site bar or head out to nearby downtown Orlando for live music venues, bars, lounges, and clubs. Return to a peaceful riverside retreat when the night winds down.

What People Say

Guests rave about the tranquil atmosphere, friendly staff, and how easy it is to get around Orlando from the resort. The Southern-style setting and river views are a hit, and many mention how relaxing it is to return here after a busy night out.

Areas for Improvement

While it's not in the heart of downtown, the distance is easily managed with the resort’s shuttle or a short drive. Some guests noted that the rooms are a bit dated, though still clean and comfortable.

The Bottom Line

If you’re looking for Southern charm, restful vibes, and easy access to Orlando’s concert scene, this resort hits all the right notes.

Liked: i liked the cute princess room with the gold and blue and fireworks in the pictures.
Disliked: I felt the maids were rude, since they woke me up two days in a row while i was napping, even though I had the sign on the door. I was informed the door sign says they can enter the room whenever they want. Plus they left the laundry in the hall.

Disliked: We chose this hotel based on the boat service to downtown disney. The boat was out of service due to drought. This was not made clear when booking.

Liked: Close to Epcot
Disliked: No housekeeping for 3 nights. I stayed there 10 years ago. It appears to require some refreshing; cracked caulking, hot water handle on faucet fell off in my hand, latch lock for extra security broken.

Liked: The location was perfect! Beautiful, clean, and very nice. It was a huge resort!
Disliked: The buildings all look the same so its hard to find your room, but once you do its fine. It was almost perfect. They should have a bar that offers drinks while you are at the pool.

Liked: The themeing is great and it is easy to get around the Disney World bubble from this hotel. We especially love taking the boat to Disney Springs - it is a very unique form of transportation!
Disliked: This resort is very big, so you can very easily end up with a room far from the lobby and dining.
