Port Orleans Riverside & French Quarter are two of Disney’s hotels that are classed as moderate hotels.  They are both themed to look like the Old South or New Orleans to be precise.

Both hotels are located in the Downtown Disney Area

Port Orleans Riverside was designed to look like the south along the Mississippi River before the Civil War. The resort opened on February 2nd 1992 and was then known as Disney’s Dixie Landings Resort with rooms located in the area known as Alligator Bayou, shortly after the remaining area called Magnolia Bend was opened.

The 2 resort hotels are connected to each other and Downtown Disney via the Sassagoula River

In the beginning of March 2001 the roads signs and other theming were changed to reflect that Disney’s Port Orleans Resort and Disney’s Dixie Landings Resort properties becoming a merged Disney’s Port Orleans Resort

On April 1st 2001 the Disney’s Port Orleans Resort became known as Port Orleans French Quarter and Disney’s Dixie Landings Resort became known as Port Orleans Riverside.

boatwrightsBoatwright’s Dining Hall

Cuisine: American

Price Range: $$$ ($15-$29.99 per person)

Information: To make reservations call (407) 939-3463 up to 180 days prior to your visit. Specialty celebration cakes are available for an additional charge and should be ordered 48 hours in advance by calling (407) 827-2253. Menu items and prices subject to change without notice.

Themed after a wooden shipbuilding yard with vintage shipbuilding tools hanging on the walls inside the restaurant, even your cutlery is presented to your table in a woodworker’s toolbox. The partially built sailboat located inside the restaurant is actually an authentic reproduction of a flat bottom “New Orleans Lugger” that sailed the Mississippi River in the 1820s.

This popular table-service restaurant features Southern-style cuisine as well as American dishes. Entrees such as jambalaya and blackened red snapper, and more traditional fare like prime rib, pasta with shrimp and filet mignon, grace dinner plates. Southern sides and pecan pie round out the dining experience.

A children’s menu is available for dinner. Boatwright’s is open daily for dinner from 5:00pm until 10:00pm, but is closed for breakfast and lunch.

riverside-millRiverside Mill Foodcourt   

Cuisine: American

Price Range: $ ($14.99 and under per person)

If you are looking for good food fast, the Port Orleans Riverside food court is available all day long featuring fresh baked goods, pizza, pasta, hamburgers and some fantastic Southern specialties. The Riverside Mill also features a country market with prepackaged items to grab and go.

Soak up the scenery and the Cajun spices as you dine in this 450-seat food court near to the 35 (some sources say 32) foot water wheel that operates a working cotton press.

There are five serving stations which provide a variety of different food types — bakery/ice cream, grill, pasta, carved meats, pizza, etc — plus the Grab and Go refrigerator which contains chilled drinks and pre-packaged items. Once you’ve selected your food, you head over to one of the payment desks before collecting your cutlery, condiments and any dispensed drinks from the central island and finding a table. If your party needs items from different stations it’s usually easiest to split up, collect your food, and then all meet up back at the payment desk.
