Port Orleans Resort Riverside Overview
The
antebellum South along the old Mississippi is the theme of Disney's
Port Orleans Resort-Riverside. Steamboats were a big part of the
old South and the theming of the registration area reflects that
as guests check-in to the Sassagoula Steamboat Company which is
themed after the inside of an actual riverboat.
Disney's Port Orleans Resort-Riverside has a combination of the classic grand plantation mansions and country bayou villages. There are four mansion style buildings and 16 bayou, all connected by bridges to the Ol' Man Island pool and fishing area. The Sassagoula River winds through the resort.
Award-winning,
spectacular gardens and fountains are the mainstays of the mansion
areas. The smell of the magnolia blossoms as you walk along the
picturesque riverside walkways, is divine. Magnolia Bend is home
to the majestic mansions reminiscent of the classic elegance of
the rural South. Some of the details of these elegant mansions include
majestic columns, grand staircases and ornate white railings. In
the Alligator Bayou, you'll find 2-story, Cajun-style brick or stucco
lodges with tin roofs, wide front porches and rough hewn railings
similar to those found in the rural bayou regions of southern Louisiana.
These are set amidst dense moss-hung pine forests and creeks.
There are a total of 1024 guest rooms in each section.
