Disney overload? Port Orleans Riverside offers a soulful escape from the typical theme park frenzy. Swap princess castles for riverside mansions and bayou charm. It’s a laid-back slice of the South tucked inside the Disney bubble.
Don’t expect over-the-top Disney branding. This resort is all about real Louisiana vibes. Think lazy riverboat rides and evenings rocking on your porch, not non-stop character meet-and-greets.
Insider Tip: Seek out the hidden gem – Yehaa Bob Jackson’s show at the River Roost Lounge. It’s pure foot-stomping, laugh-out-loud fun that most visitors miss!
But hey, a slower pace might not be for everyone. Resort transportation is mainly by bus, so getting to the parks can take a little longer.
