Port Orleans Resort

Port Orleans Riverside© The Walt Disney Company
Ornate row-house buildings, stately southern mansions and rustic bayou dwellings are recalled at Disney's Port Orleans Resort, a 3,056-room resort that features two "regions" — the French Quarter and Riverside.

It is easy to compare the village of seven three-story residence buildings that make up Disney's 1,008-room Port Orleans-French Quarter to New Orleans. The ornate wrought-iron fences and brick "streets" add an authentic flare.

If you're yearning for the grace and style of the Old South, your vacation adventure should begin at Port Orleans-Riverside. Previously named Dixie Landings, the resort keeps the feel of the rural ol' south. The 2,048-room resort includes mansion-style accommodations and rustic retreats.

The southern atmosphere is perfectly recreated in the winding roads and picturesque waterways that capture the mystery and romance of a trip up the Mississippi River. Just keep telling yourself... this is Disney World.
