Close your eyes for a moment….picture landscaping perfection, gorgeous gardens, you can smell the warm south and hear banjos playing in the distance. Now open your eyes; you're in the middle of Port Orleans Riverside, my favorite of the moderate resorts, where you will more than get what you pay for. Prepare yourself for some exercise; the property is spread out, but the benefits to walking are truly abounding, as everywhere you turn it is sure beauty.

Whether or not you’re looking to stay in a Mansion or in the Rustic South, you will not go wrong in either. This resort offers the feeling of family togetherness; the pools are cozy, the carriage rides take you back to yester year, the fishing hole brings back memories of stories we have all heard passed on for years. This is the perfect resort for runners, with trails lining the property for early morning runs. You will forget you are on vacation at Walt Disney World when you step into the surroundings of Port Orleans Riverside…sit back, relax, and enjoy the old South!
Oh I couldn't agree more! This is also my favorite of the moderates, and even when it's reached capacity, you don't feel the hustle and bustle. I like the mansion rooms - elegant decor, cherry furniture, and over-the-bed sconces on dimmer switches! The food court is fantastic, designed to resemble an old cotton mill, and I love the straw-look carpet and mismatched tables and chairs. And the grounds...they simply cannot be matched by any of the other resorts, and in my opinion, that includes the deluxe resorts!
