With all of the buzz about the new Royal baby and the upcoming Royal wedding, I thought I'd highlight Disney World's very own Royal Rooms at Port Orleans Riverside resort.
Port Orleans is considered a Moderate resort on the Disney property. As with all on-site resorts, your stay includes Extra Magic Hours, MagicBands, FastPass availability 60 days in advance, Option to purchase Dining Plan, Magical Express, Ability to charge items at the parks onto your room account... And above all, Disney Customer Service which really is priceless.
The resort is located in the Disney Springs area and there are boats to take you directly to Disney Springs from the resort. To reach the Disney Theme Parks, you'll take complimentary Disney bus transportation.
There is an amazing food court at the resort (Riverside Mill Food Court) which is a great place to have a quick breakfast before heading out. And don't forget if you're on the Dining plan, you can refill your souvenir mug with your favorite soft drink here!
The pool is one of the best at Disney - Ol’ Man Island is a 3.5-acre refuge with a swimmin’ hole and a fishin’ hole. Fashioned after an abandoned sawmill, this pool is accessible by 3 wooden bridges and includes a 95 foot-long rustic waterslide built into the millworks.
One of the room types at Port Orleans Riverside is the Royal Room. I had the chance to tour one recently and even if I didn't have kids, I'd love to stay in this room!!
The headboards in this room glitter with fiber optic lights, creating your own personal “fireworks” display that can be turned on and off as you like. During your stay, discover special mementos left by Tiana’s royal friends from classic Disney animated films such as Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast, Cinderella, The Little Mermaid and Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. For example, the bathroom faucets are in the shape of the genie’s lamp from Aladdin and the luggage bench is in the shape of Sultan, the dog that was turned into a bench in Beauty and the Beast. And does that ‘rug’ on the carpet look familiar?
The room is wonderful top to bottom and no details were overlooked. The only downside to the Royal Room is that it doesn't include the fold-out bed like others at Port Orleans so you have a maximum of 4 people in this room. If you have a family of 5 and would like to stay at Port Orleans, you'll need a standard room but those are really nice also. You can just pretend that you're still Royalty but you're incognito!
