Port Orleans Resort Historical Rooms Rates
Note: For current resort prices, please see the main Room Rates page.
The following nightly charges were based on Disney’s published “rack rates” for all the Walt Disney World Moderate Resorts — i.e. this is the rate you would have been charged if you called the Disney Reservation Center and were not entitled to any special discounts.
Disney bases the room charge on up to two adults per room. For each additional adult (aged 18 or over) there is a $15 per night surcharge. Additional children are free. Prices are quoted in US Dollars and do not include the 12.5% Florida resort tax which must be added to any booking.
From 2008 onwards, Disney introduced a per-night pricing structure which meant that each night of a stay may be charged at a different rate, as opposed to the block system used previously. For example, Friday and Saturday nights are now generally more expensive than weeknights, etc. Also, some public holidays such as Independence Day and Thanksgiving are charged at a premium rate. Thus the total cost of any vacation stay is now calculated on a night-by-night basis.
2011 Room Rates
When Disney released 2011’s room rates on August 9th 2010 they also announced two new booking categories for the Port Orleans resorts, one of them exclusive to Riverside. The following booking categories were available for 2011:
- Standard View: General views of the landscaping, courtyards or gardens (including the bayou area at POR). Could include rooms which face towards parking lots.
- Water View: Swimming pools or other water features. $25 per night surcharge.
- King Bed: One king-size bed only, with a maximum occupancy of two persons. Views and locations vary around the whole of the resort. $25 per night surcharge.
Preferred Room (Riverside only): Close proximity to the restaurants, transportation and main building. Preferred room are located in Alligator Bayou lodges 14, 15, 18 and 27 only (there are no preferred rooms located in the mansion buildings). $25 per night surcharge.- River View: These rooms offer direct views of the riverfront, but do not guarantee any particular proximity to the main buildings — however at Riverside, any of the directly river-facing rooms tend to give fairly convenient access to the facilities areas anyway. $30 per night surcharge.
All non-King rooms featured two double or queen sized beds. Queen beds were installed in all French Quarter rooms during 2011, and Riverside’s upgrade started in June 2011. Riverside’s Alligator Bayou double-bedded rooms also featured an extra pullout “trundle bed” suitable for a child or small adult.

2007 and Earlier Rates
Prior to 2008, the price for an entire stay was based on the costing for the first night — for example, an entire two-week Christmas stay commencing on 19 December would have been charged at Value season rate instead of Holiday — bargain! The 2007 seasonal structure is given below for reference, but the dates were broadly similar in previous years too.
