Adam made check in process very easy and was able to give us a first floor room in a building next to where our family was staying.
Breakfast was perfect and staff friendly and helpful
They accommodated my gluten intolerance wonderfully and I was still able to enjoy most of the yummy foods!! Staff was very helpful. Grounds smelled great, were clean, easy to navigate, relaxing at most. Loooved it and we will be back!

Beautiful property and landscaping. The rooms can be far from the lobby and no option other than walking was offered by the hotel. Also, the hotel only provided housekeeping every other day. This hotel was overpriced for the amenities.
I was looking to book a Disney trip and couldn’t find it through the Disney website, I’ve booked with the Hotels.com previously and easily found a room at the Port Riverside Disney. I was able to easily link my itinerary number to my Disney experience app so I was still able to have all the amenities of the Disney app of early check-in end of heading to the parks early.
Will certainly be booking with Hotels.com if I am unable to find any rooms through the Disney app itself.
Great resort, yes it probably does need to be updated since the decor is a bit worn out but the kids won't even notice. Both my daughters were so happy to be staying in princess Tianas room! I liked that we didn't get a carpeted room since I had read some reviews that they smelled a little. The only reason why this wasn't a 5 star was because we stayed 3 nights so on the 2nd night we should've gotten room service cleaning but that didn't happen. The personnel was cleaning the room next to us when we got back from breakfast so we decided to leave again and were actually home for a few hours to allow for cleaning. That did not happen. Other than that we had so much fun staying there and would definitely go back.
Very clean and staff was great at answering any questions. Restrooms around resort were clean and stocked. Transportation was on time or came quickly. Only downside was food service was slower than at other resorts I have stayed at

Liked: Staff & service, amenities
Property is way out of the way. It is very spaced out. There’s a great distance from dining to buildings.

Housekeeping is no longer on a daily basis. Most times we had to call for more clean towels. The food in the food court is not very good except for the pizza and breakfast items. The soda machines were empty way too often as was the ice machines. This has been our 8th time staying at Riverside but the quality of the facility has gone down. French Quarter was so much nicer, especially the pool that was so beautiful & colorful. The food court was so much nicer & cleaner too. We would consider staying there instead of Riverside when we return next year.
Positives. Great staff - everyone very friendly. Comfy beds, spotless room, good shower. Excellent food with pretty much anything catered to our gluten free needs, just had to be willing to wait, but you can order ahead of time on the app if you’d like. Free boat transportation to Disney Springs and French Quarter.
Negatives: Not a ton to do if you’re looking for constant entertainment, but if you’re looking to relax, great option. Can always take boat to Disney springs or French Quarter with more to do. Lots of pool options. Wish every pool had an accompanying hot tub. One hot tub option looked a little slimy - didn’t see anyone attempt to go in it while we were there. My wife and I were excited to experience the jazz club at French Quarter, but there was no live music on Tuesday and Wednesday when we were there. For the price at a New Orleans themed restaurant, they should offer entertainment nightly. Main reason I removed a star, would go with four and a half it it was an option. Also, arcade was too well lit - glare on all the games with a few of them having broken controllers/buttons. Also too much light for “movies under the stars” - needed it to be darker to actually see the movie screen. Super nitpicky but I’m bored waiting for my delayed flight home.
Still highly recommend if you can’t afford big $ Disney resorts or you are just cheap like me and would rather give excess $ to charities/people in need rather than big corporations.
