Port Orleans Resort Historical Room 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. these were the rates 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 $25 per night surcharge (plus tax), which increased from $15/night in 2018. Additional children are free. Prices are quoted in US Dollars.

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.

Note: The old Port Orleans Riverside ‘Garden View’ category has now been renamed as Woods View, although the French Quarter equivalent rooms are still referred to as Garden View. Also the Port Orleans Riverside Royal Room Pool View booking category has been permanently discontinued and all 36 rooms previously sold under that name have now been recategorised as Royal Room Woods View like their near neighbours.

In 2020, the wheels fell off the world. When the COVID-19 Coronavirus pandemic took hold, international tourist travel was effectively shut down and countries went into varying degrees of self-imposed quarantine lockdowns. Walt Disney World and its resort hotels completely closed to all guests in mid-March 2020, and while the theme parks started to tentatively welcome local guests again a few months later, the resort hotels would only reopen in gradual phases as travel resumed. It would be a year and a half before the Port Orleans Resorts would open their doors again.

After the complete Resort closure on Friday 19 March 2020, Port Orleans Riverside finally reopened on Thursday 14 October 2021, with French Quarter following two weeks later on Thursday 28 October 2021. Both resorts returned to life gradually, starting at around 10% occupancy levels for the first days, and only slowly ramping up towards more normal capacities over many months. Staffing was a particular issue, as Disney had laid off or transferred all of the cast members working at the Resorts, and even a year later around 85% of the cast members working at Port Orleans were new hires, with all the training complexities that entailed. It also took some time for specific facilities to return — such as Boatwright’s Dining Hall which remained closed until Christmas 2021.

To try to recover some of the lost revenue, prices were increased dramatically compared to the pre-COVID levels, and a number of previously-included services were withdrawn. Perhaps the easiest way to fully compare the hugely complex Disney pricing structures is to work out the rack rate revenue for the entire Resort over a whole year. In 2019, which was the last full year before COVID struck, full rack-rate occupancy at Port Orleans would have resulted in room revenue of $341.8m. In 2022, the first full year after reopening, that exact same calculation returns a result of $406.4m, and in 2023 it rises again to $430m. Clearly the hotels were not running anywhere close to their normal operating capacities, and rooms are often sold at lower prices anyway due to discounts and travel agent packages, but it still reveals an underlying 19% hike in 2022 compared to pre-COVID levels, and a 26% increase by 2023.

And it got worse for guests. In addition to paying more than a quarter more than before COVID, the following services and facilities, which had always been complimentary perks of staying at the Port Orleans resorts, were no longer available:

One positive note amongst all this unfortunate nickel'n'diming is that the $20/night guest car parking fee, which was actually introduced a few years prior to the COVID closures, has been withdrawn as of January 2023. Car parking is once again free for Resort guests — and it still includes free parking at the theme parks.

The USA ‘rack rates’ for the re-opening in 2021 and all of 2022 were released at 6am EDT on 8th July 2021 as part of Disney’s post-COVID reopening plans, many months after other resorts had already reopened. From that date it was possible to book rooms and packages with Disney online or via their telephone Reservations Center for stays commencing on 14 October for Port Orleans Riverside, or 28 October for Port Orleans French Quarter. The old restriction limiting bookings to a maximum of 499 days in advance has been withdrawn, so guests can now book as far as the released calendar allows. The last release of prices prior to this was 18th June 2019 for the abandoned 2020 year.

Disney bases the room charge on up to two adults per room. For each additional adult (aged 18 or over) there is a $25 per night surcharge (plus tax), which was increased from $15/night in 2018. Additional children are free.

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 and permanently discontinued. The previous Royal Room Pool View rooms — all 36 of them, so hardly a major issue — have been recategorised as Royal Room Woods View like their neighbours.

The existing Port Orleans Riverside ‘Garden View’ category was renamed as Woods View, presumably to manage expectations if people get assigned to rooms facing out into the trees and swamps of the bayou, rather than the manicured lawns of the mansion building courtyards. The French Quarter equivalent rooms are still referred to as Garden View.

Normally, when new rates are released we provide price comparisons versus the previous year, but with Port Orleans being completely closed for 1½ years (from Friday 20 March 2020 until 14/28 October 2021) there is no reliable full-year data for 2020 or 2021. Thus the following figures are based on a comparison between the years 2019 and 2022.

Port Orleans Resort Room Rates — 2019

You can now book rooms and packages with Disney online or via their telephone Reservations Center for 2019 vacations, up to the normal maximum of 499 days in advance. Other markets may vary (e.g. UK guests have been able to book their 2019 holidays since April). The 2019 rates were released on 19th June 2018.

There are two new room categories for Port Orleans Riverside bookings for stays commencing from 1st January 2019 onward. Because the resort had been getting more and more pre-arrival requests from guests wanting to ensure they get an extra fold-down bed — just as in the past building 14 was a highly-requested option which led to the creation of the Preferred Location category — Disney has decided that there is enough demand to make it a premium offering, so people can pay extra to guarantee getting an Alligator Bayou room with that extra fold-down bed. Previously, it had only been possible to guarantee an Alligator Bayou room by booking Preferred Location, or by having a party of more than four people aged 3+.

“Standard View – 5th Sleeper” and “Garden View – 5th Sleeper” are pretty self-explanatory in that they assure you of getting a Standard or Garden room in the Alligator Bayou section, giving you the fold-down bed no matter how many people are in the room. The pricing premium varies a bit throughout the year, but on average the new categories are about $13.50 (just under 5%) more expensive than their regular Standard/Garden counterparts.

I initially assumed that the old Standard View and Garden View options would not be displayed for parties exceeding four guests (aged 3+), thus forcing you to select the two new categories for any parties of five, but oddly that does not seem to be the case as yet. It’s possible the new options are still propagating their way through the system though.

These new options should make it easier for the room allocation team when assigning parties of five to Alligator Bayou — except for Pool View and River View bookings, for which guests will still need to submit pre-arrival requests which will be managed on a booking-by-booking basis.

The one downside is that people who don’t book these categories might conversely assume that they are 100% guaranteeing themselves a mansion building room, however since the original categories will now be less expensive these may well get overbooked and the team might need to juggle some groups into the more expensive 5th sleeper category rooms anyway — meaning Alligator Bayou, which in some cases may not be regarded by the guests as an upgrade.

Other than those two new Riverside categories, the pricing structure has risen somewhat less markedly than it has in previous years, averaging just under 3% higher than 2018. For the past few years, average increases have been between 5% and 7% annually, so this is a welcome change. The lowest nightly price (Standard View for weekdays in January) is $232, and the highest (Christmas week in a Royal River View room) is $422.

As with last year, Disney have split the rates for most seasons into three nightly pricing bands — the cheapest being Monday/Tuesday/Wednesday, then Thursday/Sunday, and finally the most expensive nights are Fridays & Saturdays. This makes the old tidy tabular layouts more confusing than ever, although the folks over at MouseSavers.com have made valiant efforts with their Riverside and French Quarter pages.

Port Orleans Resort Room Rates — 2018

 Click here to download Full 2018 Rack Rates as a Spreadsheet 

The USA ‘rack rates’ for Rooms and Packages in 2018 were released on Tuesday 20 June 2017, roughly the same time that they have been issued for the past two years. You can now book rooms and packages with Disney online or via their telephone Reservations Center for 2018 vacations, up to the normal maximum of 499 days in advance.

For the first time ever, the highest daily rates at Port Orleans — a ‘moderate’ resort — exceed $400 per night, which is over the Christmas period in a Royal Pool View or Royal River View room. Ouch! It looks like at French Quarter, King Bed and Pool Views are still considered the premium options now, way higher than River View. Also the variations within the four Royal Room categories often remain fairly minor, so if you’re planning on splurging on a Royal Room then you might want to consider the excellently-located Pool View, or River View, options.

Overall, room prices have risen by an average of 5.54% from last year’s rates, which equates to +13% from two years ago, and +18.4% since 2015. The breakdown by category (included taxes) is as follows:

Riverside Regular Rooms Standard Garden King Pool Preferred River
Lowest Price in 2018 $218.25 $231.75 $265.50 $237.38 $271.13 $271.13
Highest Price in 2018 $339.75 $345.38 $366.75 $351.00 $375.75 $380.25
Daily Average for 2018 $270.69 $278.78 $312.43 $298.31 $318.56 $324.54

Highest Price in 2018 $339.75 $345.38 $371.25 $365.63 $356.63
Daily Average for 2018 $271.07 $278.45 $311.64 $303.65 $291.17
Average Daily Increase vs. 2017 6.15% 6.31% 6.01% 4.93% 6.52%

I’ve been having real difficulty trying to understand and differentiate the seasonal grouping blocks this year, as many of the blocks now seem to include up to three weekly price points (Monday, Tuesday & Wednesday being the cheapest, then Sunday & Thursday, and finally Friday & Saturday at a really hefty premium). This is what is causing all the wild fluctuations in the graphs below. Once I know the seasonal grouping dates I can create average weekly rates for each season type, which should make the graphs more readable and useful.

In the meantime, I’ve created a spreadsheet covering each of the fifteen room categories at Port Orleans for every day in 2018, which you can DOWNLOAD HERE. I did observe that some of the initial prices released on 20 June had changed two days later, so while that list is accurate as of 22 June 2017 there may be some further modifications over time.

Port Orleans Resort Room Rates — 2017

The USA ‘rack rates’ for Rooms and Packages in 2017 were released at 6am EDT on Tuesday 21 June 2016, roughly the same time that they were issued last year.

The average room prices for 2017 at Port Orleans went up by 7.1% compared with last year’s rates, and by 12.1% compared to two years ago. French Quarter was hit the hardest, with some room categories, such as King Bed, seeing a nearly 12% average increase since 2016. And for the first time ever there are no rates lower than $200, the starting point for a Standard room in 2017 being $213 (inc tax). That’s some inflation rate they’ve got down there in Florida!

The overall tiering at French Quarter seems to have settled into a new pattern too, with River View rooms now considered to be a mid-tier rate, and King Bed and Pool View firmly at the top level. Presumably this is demand-based, as King Bed rooms at French Quarter always guarantee a corner room, and Pool View rooms are all very conveniently located for access to the main building, bus stop, and ferry dock — almost like a Preferred Location option.

The original heavy differentials for Royal Rooms have now been almost completely eroded, with Garden, Pool and River views mostly selling at the same nightly rate, and even then only around $6 more than standard Royal Rooms. So if you are planning a Royal Room vacation, it’s definitely worth considering a Pool View (for the guaranteed convenient location) or a River View.

There is no separate price point for Independence Day this year, so the Summer rate lasts for a full two and a half months from May 29 to August 12. Some room categories now feature weekend pricing during the Summer period, although most are still block-priced as in previous years. And even more strangely, in several categories (such as Preferred Location rooms and all of the Royal Room options) weekend nights during Summer are actually priced lower than the surrounding weekday rates, rather than the normal $30 or so hike for Friday/Saturday nights. I do wonder if this might be an error?

Once again, Memorial Day appears to be an anomalous blip at Riverside, significantly more expensive than even Christmas week at $383 per night for a River View room — a full $70 more than a similar River View room at French Quarter for the same nights.

Overview of the Booking Categories at Port Orleans

Regular Guest Room Booking Categories (excluding Riverside’s Royal Rooms)

Royal Guest Room Booking Categories (512 themed rooms located in Riverside’s Oak Manor and Parterre Place mansion buildings ONLY):

Note: Alligator Bayou is the ONLY section which contains additional fold-down beds. If your booking includes five people aged 3 or older, you will automatically be assigned an Alligator Bayou room. There are no Royal Guest Rooms which allow this.

There is no dual-classification between the various booking categories, each room falls into one specific band only. Thus all rooms with a king-size bed are classed as “King Bed” rooms, even if they also happen to be in Preferred Location buildings or may have pool or river views. Similarly, non-King rooms with views overlooking the river — even in the Preferred buildings — count as “River View” rather than Preferred. The same policy applies for the six Pool View rooms in building 18. The booking categories for every room at the resort are listed on the Building Floorplan Maps page.

So for example, if you wanted to try to get a king bed room with a pool or river view, you should book a King Bed category, and then add a request for a Pool/River View if available. The same applies if you want a River View in a preferred buildings; book for River View and then add a request for a close location. See the Making Special Room Requests page for more details.

2016 Room Rates

The USA ‘rack rates’ for Rooms and Packages in 2016 were released at 6am EDT on 22 June 2015, more than a month earlier than they were issued last year. Prices vary from $196.88/night for the cheapest Value rate Standard View rooms up to $378/night for a Pool View Royal Room at Christmas time. There is no longer any predictable pattern as to which room type will be the most expensive because the tier spacing now varies seasonally based on expected demand — however Standard View and then Garden View are generally the cheapest. The average increase from last year’s rack rates is 4.69% (French Quarter accounting for about 4.27% of this, with Riverside slightly higher at nearly 5%).

However the biggest shocker of all comes when you contrast the daily rates for the traditionally lower-priced months of September and October. For example at Port Orleans Riverside, the premium categories such as Pool View, Preferred Location and River View have risen by as much as 27% in 2016! A River View room would have cost you $236 per night for October 2015, whereas in October 2016 the exact same room will cost $299 — a massive 26.7% increase. Given that this is (no doubt completely coincidentally) the same period that the Disney Dining Plan is offered for free, it does rather confirm the old truism that “There Ain’t No Such Thing as a Free Lunch”.

So Disney’s new prices don’t seem exactly in tune with America’s current negative inflation rates, or its reduction in average hourly earnings — all of which may make staying on-site at Disney a significantly more expensive option in real terms for many people. However as long as people still keep coming to Disney, as a business with a responsibility to shareholders, they will continue to increase prices as much as they feel they are able to get away with. As someone else said, “in other breaking news, water is wet and the sky is blue”.

Overview of the Booking Categories at Port Orleans

Regular Guest Room Booking Categories (excluding Riverside’s Royal Rooms)

Royal Guest Room Booking Categories (512 themed rooms located in Riverside’s Oak Manor and Parterre Place mansion buildings ONLY):

Note: Alligator Bayou is the ONLY section which contains additional fold-down beds. If your booking includes five people aged 3 or older, you will automatically be assigned an Alligator Bayou room. There are no Royal Guest Rooms which allow this.

There is no dual-classification between the various booking categories, each room falls into one specific band only. Thus all rooms with a king-size bed are classed as “King Bed” rooms, even if they also happen to be in Preferred Location buildings or may have pool or river views. Similarly, non-King rooms with views overlooking the river — even in the Preferred buildings — count as “River View” rather than Preferred. The same policy applies for the six Pool View rooms in building 18. The booking categories for every room at the resort are listed on the Building Floorplan Maps page.

So for example, if you wanted to try to get a king bed room with a pool or river view, you should book a King Bed category, and then add a request for a Pool/River View if available. The same applies if you want a River View in a preferred buildings; book for River View and then add a request for a close location. See the Making Special Room Requests page for more details.

Port Orleans Riverside Regular Rooms (2016)

Apart from the September/October rates mentioned above, no real surprises this year for the Port Orleans Riverside regular rooms, the price tiering remains fairly close to what we have been used to for several years. For some reason, River View rooms during Memorial Day weekend are again more expensive even than Christmas — and more than $80/night dearer than Standard View rooms for the same weekend.

Port Orleans Riverside Royal Guest Rooms (2016)

The premium nature of the various Royal Guest Room categories continues to stay pretty flat compared to the tiering that was in place when the Royal categories were first introduced back in 2012. There is often very little difference between the price of Standard View Royal Rooms and the various higher categories — and at many times of the year, Garden, Pool and River views are all exactly the same price.

The most expensive option of the entire year at Port Orleans would actually be a Pool View Royal Guest Room during Christmas week, which in 2016 will set you back a whopping $378 per night.

Port Orleans French Quarter (2016)

For some reason, Pool View and King Bed rooms at French Quarter are now mostly more expensive than the previously top-tier River View rooms. I guess I can understand the Pool View premium price as those rooms give an excellent guarantee of proximity to the main building and also to the bus stop and boat dock, but I’m not sure why King Bed should have followed suit too. Maybe people are starting to realise that you can legitimately request any view type that you want when you book a King Bed room?

Note: Initially, French Quarter’s Garden View rooms were showing as cheaper than Standard View rooms for most dates, but that disparity has now been addressed and the Garden View rates have been adjusted — although the Seasonal Calender pages currently still show the original figures. I hope that some people managed to follow my early advice and got their bookings in before the rates went up.

2014 Room Rates

Walt Disney World released their 2014 room and package rates via the booking website on 10 July 2013. No new booking categories were introduced since the 2013 updates.

The 2014 rates were much more complex and convoluted than in previous years, with no clearly discernable pattern to the incremental charges when moving from one booking category to another. There also seemed to be some odd discrepancies within the pricing of King Bed rooms — sometimes they were cheaper than Pool/Preferred rooms, sometimes more expensive. Summer King Bed rates at Riverside seemed remarkably cheap in comparison to other periods, while at French Quarter in Peak season only, King Beds were more expensive than River View! In some seasons, there was as much as a $46 jump from a Standard room to a River View room, and up to $90 to go up to a River View Royal Guest Room. Ouch!

2013 Room Rates

Walt Disney World released their 2013 room and package rates via the booking website on 11 July 2012.

All of the Port Orleans rooms have recently been refurbished (completed 1st August 2012) and feature either two Queen sized beds or one King size bed. Riverside’s Alligator Bayou section also features an extra fold-down Murphy bed (approx. 63" x 30") over the banquette bench seat, suitable for a child or small adult. Specially themed Royal Guest Rooms are available in Oak Manor and Parterre Place at Port Orleans Riverside. Please see the Guest Rooms page for further descriptions of the room amenities, photos and a detailed room plan layout.

There is no dual-classification between the various booking categories, each room falls into one specific band only. Thus all rooms with a king-size bed are classed as “King Bed” rooms, even if they also happen to be in Preferred Location buildings or may have pool or river views. Similarly, non-King rooms with views overlooking the river — even in the Preferred buildings — count as “River View” rather than Preferred. The same policy applies for the six Pool View rooms in building 18.

So for example, if you wanted to try to get a king bed room with a pool or river view, you should book a King Bed category, and then add a request for a Pool/River View if available. The same applies if you want a River View in a preferred buildings; book for River View and then add a request for a close location. See our pages on Room Categories and Locations and Making Special Room Requests for more details.

All rooms located within the Alligator Bayou section of Riverside feature an extra fold-down Murphy bed (approx. 63" x 30") located over the banquette bench seat (at no extra cost) and thus these rooms have a maximum occupancy of five people. No other rooms within the resort have the option of an extra bed. The King Bed rooms within the Alligator Bayou section (only) also feature the same extra fold-down Murphy bed and thus these rooms have a maximum occupancy of three people. In May 2013, the online reservations system was enhanced to finally allow this three-person option to be booked.

Regular Guest Rooms (excluding Riverside’s Oak Manor and Parterre Place, which are now Royal Guest Rooms)

Note: There are a few odd discrepancies in the pricing for two seasons this year. For some reason, the tariff card shows Riverside as being $2/night more expensive than French Quarter for the Garden/King/Preferred/Pool/River categories in both Regular and Value(2) seasons. For all other time periods, Riverside and French Quarter have exactly the same pricing, just as they have done in the past. This could just be a typo, but both prices are listed here for reference.

Royal Guest Rooms (located in Riverside’s Oak Manor and Parterre Place mansion buildings only)

Note: There are no King Bed options in the Royal Guest Rooms, presumably because these rooms are aimed directly at families rather than couples. Also, there are no Royal Guest Rooms which allow for an additional bed to sleep an extra person.

2012 Room Rates

The 2012 room rates were release via the booking website on 12 June 2011. New for 2012 were the Port Orleans Riverside “Royal Guest Rooms” in both Oak Manor and Parterre Place, with the first such rooms being opened on 9 March 2012. There are no King Bed or Preferred Location rooms in the Royal buildings.

Disney also introduced yet another room category — Garden View — into the already complicated and increasingly pricey mix. People opting for a Standard room are now most likely to end up with a parking lot view.

As part of a resort-wide refurbishment program, all of the Alligator Bayou rooms now feature a fold-down Murphy Bed rather than the old trundle beds. The refit took place during 2011/12 and was completed on 1st August 2012.

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:

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.
