One of two Moderate Category properties making up Disney's 325-acre Port Orleans Resort, the 2,048 room Port Orleans Riverside Resort is just a short boat ride from Downtown Disney, but seemingly worlds away from the hustle and bustle of the theme parks.

Theme-wise, the slice of the Old South property is among Disney's best creative efforts. Lush landscaping and convincing recreations of period architecture are complemented by time-transported opportunities for family fun, and if you've got the time or the inclination, you can expand your territory and your cultural horizons at the neighboring French Quarter Resort.

Opened in 1992 as Disney's Dixie Landings Resort and renamed in 2001, Port Orleans Riverside Resort is divided into two distinctive sections: Magnolia Bend -- a collection of stately manor homes -- and Alligator Bayou -- comfortable country cottages, some of which feature a trundle bed and sleep five.

For families seeking a laid-back vacation filled with memorable moments, there are plenty of unique adventures in store. Guests can take a dip in an old-fashioned "swimming hole," enjoy a horse and carriage ride, search for loot on a pirate treasure cruise or dangle a line in a stocked private pond.
