DISNEY'S PORT ORLEANS RIVERSIDE RESORT TOUR 2023 | Walt Disney World

[@majorgray247]

Thank you Todd for the review. This is our favorite resort. I can watch this over and over. We stayed here at the end of July 2023 and in June 2023. The last time we stayed here was 13 years ago 2009, when we found out the wife was pregnant with our first child. So Riverside holds a special place in our hearts. We love your channel. Thank you my friend. ❤

[@TravelingAroundDisney]

It has always been a family favorite of ours. Kind of ironic that our son in law now is a leader there. Thank you so much for traveling along with us and for your support. Michelle and I hope you have a fantastic week.

[@cynthiabobst8794]

I stayed here this past July. This resort was wonderful. The Cast Members were lovely. My overall impression of this resort was I will do it again!!!!

[@TravelingAroundDisney]

It definitely is our favorite Moderate Resort with so much to offer the guest. This resort hold some great family memories for us. Thank you so much for traveling with us. We hope you have a fantastic weekend

[@disneygirl5768]

This video absolutely showcased this resort! You really showed how beautiful this location is!🎉

[@TravelingAroundDisney]

It is such a great resort. We never get tired of this resort….

[@bruceuhland8]

I love how you show the laundry rooms. That is so helpful.

[@TravelingAroundDisney]

Ya sometimes you don’t have to over pack you just got to know where the laundry rooms are lol. This resort offers so much for travelers. We would highly approve a stay to anyone. We hope you have had a fantastic weekend and thanks for traveling along with us..

[@tomdavis3541]

We've done Alligator Bayou twice out of our 5 trips over the last 21 years. I absolutely agree with your description of the setting.

[@TravelingAroundDisney]

Thanks Tom for traveling around with us. This resort is absolutely one of our favorites with everything it has to offer. Hope you are having a fantastic week.

[@matt207]

Thanks for the great video. Both Port Orleans' resorts are my favorites. We like the French quarter just a little more. The girls absolutely love the Mickey beignets, but who doesn't.

[@TravelingAroundDisney]

Thanks Matt. Ya give us any side and we’re happy lol. French quarter is half the size but they have beignets like you said. Great picture of Maverick and we hope everyone is doing great.

[@annc7550]

LOL. Thank you for the review. I loved your face when you tried the meatloaf!!!

[@TravelingAroundDisney]

I was pleasantly surprised at how good it was. I have actually had it sense and it was very enjoyable. Thanks for traveling along with us.

[@johndawson7881]

We absolutely love riverside stayed there the most of all the resorts even back when it was Dixie Landings so many memories thanks for the great video Todd

[@TravelingAroundDisney]

Thanks John we absolutely love this resort. Thank you so much for traveling along with us. We hope you both are having a fantastic week

[@Disneymomof3]

Riverside has been our family’s go to resort since 2003!

[@TravelingAroundDisney]

We have been going there since it opened and it is our favorite. Thank you so much for traveling around with us and being part of our traveling family. Hope you have a great weekend.

[@JeffFrmJoisey]

We stayed here in 2000 & 2009. Despite being spread out, the resort always felt warm and cozy. If I remember right, the Carriage ride cost $55 back in 2099!! Stayed in 1801 and 9052, so we got to experience the Bayou and Mansion sections. Thanks so much for the memory replay and a great review and in-depth tour!!!!

[@TravelingAroundDisney]

Jeff thanks for traveling along with us on this resort tour. It truly is our favorite resort. I honestly think our first stay was in 1992 when it first opened. Remember when you could get room for 99.00 a night lol. Hope your week has gone great

[@OnlyOneKenobi]

PERFECT video for you to upload! There in August (for my first time!) And can't wait! Will look forward to your tour when I watch this later! 😉👌🏼💙

[@TravelingAroundDisney]

We hope you have a fantastic trip and hope that you love it as much as we do. Hope our travels cross while you are here. Thanks for traveling along with us

[@OnlyOneKenobi]

@@TravelingAroundDisney thank you my friend... and I LOVED thr video by the way! Watched it all earlier... grounds looked fantastic! 🥰👌🏼 The ONLY thing wrong was the water levels. 💧 😔 I sincerely hope it fills up for August 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

[@teresawarner9541]

Thank you Todd; This was a great review of Port Orleans Riverside! Alligator bayou holds many memories for us as well. Just love the laid back, take it slow, relax and unwind atmosphere. Our favorite (truly) moderate ($$) resort property.😊

[@TravelingAroundDisney]

Thank you so much for your Susan’s encouragement. We just love this resort and everything it has to offer. Thanks for traveling along with us…

[@MaingateMike]

We love going over to French Quarter for beignets when staying at Riverside!

[@TravelingAroundDisney]

Totally agree. We miss that they don’t serve them at Riverside anymore like they did back in the day. At least the walk helps burn of the beignet’s calories lol. We are going to go back and try a Beignet Sunday, can’t wait. Hope you have a great weekend

[@donnaplumridge9769]

We’ve spent many a time at Port Orleans Riverside, our favourite hotel bar none when our son was little. Had so much to do there, especially if you want to spend the day at the hotel! My son, like Michelle would love to spend his evening at the Arcade. Had many a meal at the food court and the restaurant! Got their cornbread recipe from Boatwrights. We stayed both at plantation hotel side and alligator bayou, also preferred alligator bayou, quieter and liked the remote pool there! I could visit the pool and catch up with laundry! To be honest with you, prefer the currency, instead of cards, spent many a frustrating time with them! Thank you for sharing this vlog with me and bringing back many a happy memory there!

[@TravelingAroundDisney]

It is such a beautiful and wonderful resort and are favorite of all. Love that corn bread at Boatwrights. Honestly have never done laundry at the resorts, but I know many people say that have card problems. We hope you have had a fantastic week.

[@toyman70]

the beef looks great. thanks for the video . have a great week M&T- J&P :)

[@TravelingAroundDisney]

It was very tasty J&P. Hope you guys are having a fantastic week. M&T

[@laurieshaw8869]

Heading there next week!! Can’t wait!!🎉🎉

[@TravelingAroundDisney]

That’s fantastic… we just might see you there lol.

[@kimsweeney587]

Excellent resort video. We have booked this resort for 2024 so very excited after seeing this. That BBQ braised beef looked amazing so hopefully still on the menu for next year.

[@TravelingAroundDisney]

We love this resort so much. We hope you have a fantastic time on your trip next year. If there are any questions or something you would like to see let us know. Thanks for traveling around with us and have a wonderful weekend

[@SusanStypa]

Another great video! We would always stay between Riverside, Port Orleans and Caribbean Beach but for the last 10 years or so we have been staying at Pop Century 😊. There used to be a restaurant at Port Orleans called Bonfamille’s…it was the best prime rib on property and the portions were huge! I miss that place

[@TravelingAroundDisney]

It is such a great resort area. We love pop especially now because of ski liner. I do miss the Twinkie Tiramisu from pop. I remember that restaurant just couldn’t remember the name. Thanks for that.

[@sandypandys]

that river view is gorgeous to bad the water is low😀

[@TravelingAroundDisney]

Hopefully soon it will be back up with all of the rain we have been getting. Thanks for traveling along with us…

[@sheilaanderson7215]

Looks like we found another great vlogger! Your content is wonderful!

[@TravelingAroundDisney]

Thank you so much for finding us and being part of our traveling family. W can’t wait to see where our travels take all of us. Hope you have a fantastic week..

[@sircarl1587]

This is one of my favorite resorts and it was my mother-in-law's all time favorite place...She is deceased now, so the resort holds a special place in my heart. What we loved about it was that it was "highly immersive" in theming(as you mentioned). The resort has a real homey and cozy feel to it. Also, my wife and I have always found very unique clothing items here as well(as you exhibited). I have to say that you did a fantastic job in the way that you presented the property....You showed the beauty and uniqueness of the resort and were very informative. And, I love the fact that you mentioned that dogs are allowed at Riverside...We have never taken our fur baby on vacation, but I can't think of a better place than Riverside for our Cockapoo! Maybe next time we'll take our pooch along! By the way, you mentioned "victuals" on one of the signs at the beginning....I actually had to look up this word for something myself a few weeks back...It basically means food supplies or provisions. Anyway, I think Port Orleans Riverside is very special and beautiful, and you presented in beautifully. Thanks!

[@TravelingAroundDisney]

Thank you so much for your encouragement and support. This is just such a beautiful resort. Thank you for sharing why this resort is so special. We hope you are having a fantastic week

[@kwittlieff1]

Thanks for the tour of POR Todd! This is my favorite resort (of the 3 different resorts I’ve stayed at so far) I’ve stayed at Riverside 3 times so far. Although I really liked the Colonial Mansions of Magnolia Bend, our last trip, Heidi and I were moved from the mansions to Alligator Bayou - and this became my favorite area for rooms, the trees and “swamp” areas make it seem more remote. If Michelle likes the arcade games, I strongly recommend getting a “game card” for yourself, then use the massage chairs. Heidi and I turned the massage chairs into a nightly must do, after a long day of touring Walt Disney World.

[@TravelingAroundDisney]

Hay buddy hope you two are doing great. This resort is truly our favorite and alligator bayou is our preferred spot also. We hope your week has been great and have a fantastic weekend. Oh we got several game cards ready to load every trip lol

[@kristanewcomer2741]

Excited to see this because we stay here in Aug for the first time! Every time you said Waldoi kept yelling Oswald like you could hear me lol

[@TravelingAroundDisney]

Oh that’s exciting. We hope you have a fantastic trip and please let us know how you like it. Ya thought I said it wrong and noticed it when I got home lol. Hope you are having a great week

[@bruceuhland8]

Yeah Bob is great. Hoping to see him on our next trip.

[@TravelingAroundDisney]

It definitely gets busy and loud in there. It is definitely a must do while staying at this resort

[@IslandArtista]

Fantastic video Todd, thanks so much😊

[@TravelingAroundDisney]

Thank you so much we just love doing the resort tours. Thank you so much for traveling along with us.

[@NormFoss]

Great tour Todd! I love seeing resorts we haven't been to yet. You guys are doing an awesome job!

[@TravelingAroundDisney]

Norm thank you so much. We love to do the resort tours. So many choices that Disney offers it’s hard to decide. Thank you for traveling along and hope your week is going well.

[@danigirl4825]

POFQ is our fav resort so we can't wait for that video!

[@TravelingAroundDisney]

That is a fantastic resort and will be filming that soon so stay tuned. Thanks so much for traveling around with us..

[@onahealthynote3838]

Really enjoyed your tour! Our family will be POFQ next door in July and I can’t wait! We will definitely visit Riverside while we are there! Thank you!

[@TravelingAroundDisney]

Well stay tuned that resort tour will be soon. We hope you have a fantastic time. We hope your week is going great

[@herewegowithomacarr2204]

Excellent review of one of my favorites. This was the last one that Tim and I stayed in. Sweet memories. You did an excellent job showing us all around. Thanks. Hello to Michelle. I hope she continues to feel better.

[@TravelingAroundDisney]

It is truly a special resort to so many and our absolute favorite. Thank you for your kind words and encouragement. She is doing so much better. Hope your week has been smooth.

[@britslivinginspain]

Great video! Better than any others we saw on the resort years back... thanks for sharing 👍

[@TravelingAroundDisney]

Thank you guys so much. It is so easy to show it off when it is your favorite place to stay. Hope everyone had a great weekend..

[@britslivinginspain]

@TravelingAroundDisney great, thanks! Hope you guys aren't working too hard 👍

Great tour video. Thanks for helping me plan my "off" day. Definitely gonna hit the Game Room Arcade:)

[@TravelingAroundDisney]

It’s such a great resort for an off day. Nice and relaxing and plenty of activities to do. Thanks for traveling along with us and hope your week is going well..

[@nefasventures]

@@TravelingAroundDisney Week is well thanks. We are going to be staying at the French Quarter. It will be nice to see both sides of the resort. Cant wait for your video tour of that one. Hope your week is well also.

[@thecurtisfamily3810]

we been here 4 days. When did you film this. How did i miss you? ❤. just watched the 19th. Well we were at Epcot. 4 1/2 days to track you down. 😂

[@TravelingAroundDisney]

I filmed it Monday morning was there about 3 hrs. Hopefully everything is going great and your enjoying the resort. Sorry I missed you while I was there.

[@dkelly387z]

Frozen jack & coke is great! Brain freeze and a buzz. 😂

[@TravelingAroundDisney]

Lol so true. We definitely have plans to go back and try it. Thanks for sharing some of your time with us and traveling along. Hope you had a fantastic weekend

[@nelson241071]

Thanks for showing the video. I visited last year as a stop over getting different transportation and thought I must come to this resort! Well now coming in October and watching this has made me feel I definatley made the right choice!

[@TravelingAroundDisney]

Nelson it is a fantastic resort and we feel you won’t be disappointed. It is our favorite resort by far. Hopefully this week I will get the French Quarter review up. Thanks for traveling along and we hope you have a fantastic weekend

[@neiltaylor1019]

@@TravelingAroundDisney thank you again. I shall look forward to your french quarter review. You're both very welcome to join me in October. It's actually my birthday 🎂 while I'm there and meeting my Floridian friends. You're very welcome to join in the celebration

[@TravelingAroundDisney]

Thank you so much for that.

[@lisawilliams8039]

Thanks Todd. We have stayed 3 times with our fur baby, it is an additional 50.00 per day and you recieve a dog bag with a plastic bowl, mat, container with waste bags and a Disney dog tag. They can be left in the room for 7 hours then you need ti be back to take them for a walk. Etc. Also housekeeping will not come to the room while a dog is in there, so when you come back call housekeeping for any cleaning and security check. Also if you ever have a chance, take the guided fishing tour, they guide our of Riverside and Fort Wilderness, best bass fishing ever, catch and release. One of our highlights ever from Disney.

[@TravelingAroundDisney]

Thank you so much for sharing that information. I will make sure to add it on the French Quarter video. I would love to take a fishing excursion especially down that river. Michelle and I hope you are having a fantastic week.

[@lisawilliams8039]

@TravelingAroundDisney We enjoyed our fishing out of Fort Wilderness, the different resorts fish out of different areas, and there are limited times per day.

[@GrumpyCanCan]

Catching up on the videos. Need to stay at this resort.

[@TravelingAroundDisney]

Welcome back. Hope you are enjoying the videos. Hope you are doing great and are having a fantastic week.

[@maryb6529]

Thank-you for this amazing video! It was a thorough and very beautiful tour. I’ve stayed at PO before and I realized I missed a lot of detail. Also, thanks for taking a hit for the team with that “meat” loaf, because that’s what I want to eat on my next visit. The faux tuna sandwiches in the parks are also better than the real thing. My favorite vlog, you rock!

[@TravelingAroundDisney]

Thank you for traveling along with us and for your support and encouragement. It truly is our favorite resort. The meatloaf was outstanding and definitely will be going back to give it a try for a meal. We hope you have a fantastic weekend..

[@NoodyPooh]

we were there June 19th and Bob was playing nightly

[@TravelingAroundDisney]

Ok good. They told me at the front desk he was on vacation the 21st-24th. So glad you got to see him. Thanks so much for traveling along with us. Hope your having a great weekend.

[@susandemaree5477]

Great hotel.

[@TravelingAroundDisney]

Susan it is our absolute favorite resort. We have stayed in them all over the years and nothing gives us that same we’re home feel. Thanks for traveling along with us.

[@mainstreetpartyoffour]

Great Stuff

[@TravelingAroundDisney]

Thank you guys so much. Just watched your carousel of progress video. One of our favorite attractions. Thanks so much for traveling along and one day we will definitely get together.

[@tammystime3]

Beautiful resort. It looked empty❤

[@TravelingAroundDisney]

It’s a fantastic resort and our absolute favorite. This was mid day so a lot of folks were at the parks. The mane pool was packed. Everyone seems to forget about the smaller pools. Hope you have had a great week

[@clairejones7878]

Which bedrooms/buildings would you say are the quietest? I am a light sleeper.

[@TravelingAroundDisney]

We would say building 26,37 or 85. Not close to the pools so usually a little quieter. Really have never had a problem with any of the buildings we have stayed at. Thanks so much for traveling along and being part of our traveling family. Hope your having a fantastic week.

[@sheilaanderson7215]

Thanks!

[@TravelingAroundDisney]

Thank you so much for the Super Thanks. We are so thankful you share your time with us to travel along on our adventures. Michelle and I are so grateful and hope you had a wonderful weekend

[@WeeferKeef]

My wife and I booked a room in Riverside for April/24 but we have no idea where we are staying. When does the resort let you know? Looking at your video, we would like to stay in Alligator Bayou.

[@TravelingAroundDisney]

We absolutely love that resort. If you booked through a travel agent they can send in a request. If you booked it just call reservations and they can put in a request. Go to the front desk when checking in just to double check what area your in. Have a fantastic time and we hope our travels cross when you are here.

[@WeeferKeef]

Thank you for getting back to me! Love your videos.@@TravelingAroundDisney

[@jackdove4136]

Do they have the chilli in bread dish.

[@TravelingAroundDisney]

You know I didn’t see it. I will double check when I go to French Quarter. Thanks for traveling along with us

[@joshuahubert6908]

Hi Todd and Michelle!!!! New subscriber here and I absolutely love your videos and opinions on Disney dining! Going on my first ever Disney Cruise on the Wish next year and would love any tips and tricks. Also, have you two ever thought of doing Tips and Tricks videos for Disney World and the Disney cruises? I feel people would really value and appreciate your opinions. Thanks!

[@TravelingAroundDisney]

Joshua welcome to our traveling family and we are so glad you found our channel. Definitely take a look at all of our Wish video along with the Fantasy and Dream ones. We loved the Wish. The only draw back for us was the adult area. Make sure to get some beignets at the Tiana themed lounge. Take the tour of the ship if it’s offered. Definitely try to do a Palo service and remember that have all you can drink POG juice at Marceline Market.we just may do those in the future.. hope your week has been great.

[@joshuahubert6908]

Hey thanks so much!!!! Definitely gonna reserve Palo for brunch!!! And the beignets look amazing!!! Keep up the fantastic work with your channel 😊

[@TravelingAroundDisney]

Thank you.

Ya after watching it back I caught that lol. Thank you so much for traveling around with us and being part of this great family. Have a fantastic week

[@debbabe2254]

We absolutely love Port Orleans Riverside. Been staying there since it was called "Dixie Landings"! 🫶🏾 1:14 Those are Mickey's nephews, Morty & Ferdie, shown with Goofy. I believe this is the only place at WDW that features the Fieldmouse boys.

[@TravelingAroundDisney]

It is our absolute favorite resort. We have been staying there since they opened and it just feels like home. Still wish they would bring back breakfast At Boatwrights. Thanks for the info of my favorite things in the merchandise shop. We hope you had a fantastic weekend and thanks for being a fellow traveler.

[@debbabe2254]

I had breakfast at Boatwrights years ago. We had the most delicious sweet potato pancakes 🥞 The chef shared the recipe. I was so sad when they stopped serving breakfast. Just a wonderful Disney resort. 🫶🏾

[@TravelingAroundDisney]

If you have that recipe can you share. They were my absolute favorite. Do you remember the strawberries and cream side with the brown sugar??
