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.

Positives. Great staff - everyone very friendly. Comfy beds, spotless room, good shower. Excellent food with pretty much anything catered to our gluten free needs, just had to be willing to wait, but you can order ahead of time on the app if you’d like. Free boat transportation to Disney Springs and French Quarter. 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.

I was looking to book a Disney trip and couldn’t find it through the Disney website, I’ve booked with the Hotels.com previously and easily found a room at the Port Riverside Disney. I was able to easily link my itinerary number to my Disney experience app so I was still able to have all the amenities of the Disney app of early check-in end of heading to the parks early. Will certainly be booking with Hotels.com if I am unable to find any rooms through the Disney app itself.

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 .
