Disney's YACHT CLUB vs PORT ORLEANS RIVERSIDE

In another Walt Disney World Resort hotel smackdown, I compare Yacht Club, a deluxe resort, with Port Orleans Riverside, a moderate resort. I also share some information about these two hotel's sister properties, Beach Club and Port Orleans French Quarter. I break down the price, location, transportation, restaurants, pools, and rooms at each resort to help you make an informed decision about where to stay.

I could listen to you talk about hotels, resorts,disney,cruises all day. I can't believe they have a pool with a sand bottom, that is so cool.

Yes! You are so right... I much prefer the heavily Disney-themed resorts to the "fancy" modern resorts they seem to be building now. Yacht Club is our favorite resort of any we have stayed at on WDW property. But, as you say, the price is the downside there. We can not afford to stay at Yacht Club often. But we enjoyed a bit of a splurge a couple years ago and spent a weekend at Yacht Club and it was fantastic. The Yacht Club/Beach Club pool is the best pool we have ever seen at a hotel. We haven't tried out either of the Port Orleans resort. But we do want to stay there some day. We enjoyed hearing your take on these resorts. Thanks for sharing this comparison with us!
