Port Orleans Riverside Royal Guest Rooms

Give your prince or princess a treat when you choose to stay in one of these stately rooms. The Royal Guest Rooms place your family in the middle of some of your favorite Disney stories. Brought to life by celebrated Disney Characters, each room is fit for royalty.

Enjoy magnificent touches and magical surprises, including custom drapes and linens, ornately decorated beds and headboards that glitter with fibre optic lights, creating your own personal “fireworks” display. Discover majesty and fun, all rolled into one!


As The Princess and the Frog was set in New Orleans, the Port Orleans Resort seemed a natural fit for these new story themed rooms. 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?

During creative development of these storybook rooms, Disney characters and storylines were chosen that should remain “evergreen” and maintain their relevance over time. Attributes to the room include:

 


Welcome All,
We are so excited to have you stay with us.
My friends and I have shared so many wonderful moments here that this has become a very special place in our hearts.
As you make yourself at home, you’ll discover some treasured mementoes my friends have given me over the years.
Enjoy making magical memories with your friends and family in my Royal Guest Room.
Your Friend, Princess Tiana

Building Floorplans and Room Interior Layouts

Located within the elegant Magnolia Bend district of Port Orleans Riverside, two three-story mansion buildings — Oak Manor and Parterre Place, shown in red below — have been completely devoted to this new type of specialty room. Each of the two 256-room buildings consists of a central three-story structure and four two-story wing sections. The elevators are located in the central area, next to the main entrance.

The Royal Rooms now come in three category options: Standard (mostly parking lot views), Woods (previously Garden) View, and River View. There are no King Bed rooms or Preferred Location rooms in the royal buildings.

Note: When post-COVID bookings resumed in July 2021, the Disney booking system was showing zero availability for the Royal Room Pool View category for any dates in 2021/2022, even though the description was still visible on the website. That room type has now been removed from listings completely, so presumably it has been permanently discontinued. The previous Royal Room Pool View rooms — all 36 of them, so hardly a major issue — will most likely have been recategorised as Royal Room Woods View like their neighbours.

Please click on either of the red buildings in the map below to view a more detailed floorplan layout of each Royal Guest Room building with all the category options listed, or you can download a PDF file containing all four of the mansion buildings.

First In-Room Photos

Note: As from the end of April 2017, the original colourful quilted comforters, the newer themed bed-scarves, and even the scatter pillows have all been discontinued. All you will find on the beds now is plain white generic bed linen and white pillows. Please bear this in mind when browsing the Galleries as many of the photos on this site pre-date these changes.
