    Clean rooms with plenty of space, busy pools. Convenient to bus stops and has everything you need at the resort. Arcade was fun and really enjoyed the movie under the stars. I've stayed here twice, and would stay again. Calm experience after a busy day at the parks.

    "A Peaceful Disney Escape with Southern Charm and Magic"
    TripAdvisor user rating 5.0 out of 5
    Reviewed July 13, 2025 NEW
    This resort is stunning! Beautifully maintained with charming Louisiana-style landscapes, stately Southern mansions, and cozy backwoods cottages in Alligator Bayou. The Princess and the Frog theme adds a magical touch for both kids and adults. It’s great for families, with multiple pools, outdoor games, and a fun arcade, but also perfect for a peaceful, grown-up getaway. Horse-drawn carriage rides and riverboat cruises make the experience even more relaxing and immersive. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, the shops were great, and the live entertainment in the River Roost Lounge, especially the piano player, was a highlight. The Riverside Mill Food Court was busy but convenient, and the shrimp and grits were fantastic! Walking the grounds was a treat, and a short riverside stroll takes you to Port Orleans – French Quarter for even more dining and beignets. With quick, reliable shuttle service to all the parks, this resort made our trip magical and stress-free. We’ll be back! Highly recommend.

    Buses were very few and far between. Long bus lines at every bus stop. Been to Disney several times and this is the worst bus experience we had so far. Nice resort but buses were not on point.

    "A Lovely Oasis"
    TripAdvisor user rating 4.0 out of 5
    Reviewed June 24, 2025
    I stayed here when it opened with my family in 1992 - the 25th Anniversary I believe. I have been to WDW several times since. This time it was with my son and his family - their first visit. I appreciated how the flora and fauna had grown and delighted in walks to the meal area. The room was quiet overall. No car noise, as I was facing the pool area. The doors are quiet and the curtains good to block the light. My only complaints would be hearing people peeing in the morning, literally and flushing. The cleaning was okay. They need to drop the price or make the beds every day. I don't go on holiday anywhere and have to make my bed every other day. The staff were remarkable in all areas. I only came across one that I wouldn't bother chatting with again. I stayed 9 nights and wouldn't do that again. The food got a repetitive after that long. Breakfasts were great but didn't use most days as we grabbed a bite in the parks.

    I have stayed here I would say over 10 times. I used to come here every year as a young child and finally returned this year again, although I stayed at French Quarter, i came over here most days to relive the happy memories and to see how it was doing. Staff are still good, arcade the same, food hall still the same and its a place that will always hold nothing but happy memories for me.
