We visited Port Orleans in January. I had never seen it and didn't know what to expect from a Disney "moderate" resort. It was LOVELY! We have been deluxe hotel guests from the start of our family WDW trips. When I was a kid we stayed at the Contemporary with my family so that's where I wanted us to stay with our kids when we started coming back in 1990. In 1990 we had our son that was just born...from then on we thought the Contemporary was for us. It was a little boy's paradise....but I can see how Port Orleans could be too! Riverside is really pretty and kids will have fun with all the green areas and winding pathways, the sparkling pool and waterslide, lots of picnicky type areas to sit and eat.....and the river and boats there.....I think a nice ride to Downtown Disney for shopping & browsing and some fun making treats at Goofy's Candy Company sounds great on a warm day or evening for kids. The resort is manageable in size and has a charming rustic comfortable atmosphere.
A stay at Port Orleans Riverside runs about $175/night but right now Disney has a promotion running for a savings of up to 35% on the cost of the room. Contact me at Channing@TravelWithTheMagic.com for details and a free quote!
