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.
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.
Regular Guest Rooms (excluding Riverside’s Oak Manor and Parterre Place, which are now Royal Guest Rooms)
- Standard: These rooms mostly tend to face towards parking lots, or have partially obscured views (such as beside stairways, etc). Standard view rooms are located all around the resort, EXCEPT for Preferred Locations.
Garden View: These rooms offer pleasant views of the gardens, courtyards (including water features and fountains), landscaping or bayou — but NOT of the parking lots. Garden View rooms can be located in any of the buildings EXCEPT for Preferred Locations. $10 per night surcharge.
- Preferred Location (Riverside, Alligator Bayou only): These rooms offer close proximity to the restaurants, transportation and main buildings at Riverside. Preferred rooms are ONLY located in Alligator Bayou lodges 14, 15, 18 and 27 — there are no preferred locations in the mansion buildings or at French Quarter. Views vary and can include parking lot or bayou/stream/garden outlooks. $25 per night surcharge.
- King Bed: These rooms feature one King-size bed only, and have a maximum occupancy of two persons. Views and locations vary around the whole of the resort, and some can feature Water/River Views or are within Preferred Locations (these all still fall under the King Bed booking category though). Limited quantities are available, and there are no King Beds available at all in the Royal Guest Room buildings. $25 per night surcharge.
- Water View: These rooms offer swimming pool views and are spread out all around the resort, for example French Quarter buildings 2 & 5 (note: not on the ground floor at French Quarter), Riverside 16, 17, 18, 24, 25, 35, 36 and 39, plus the mansion buildings. $25 per night surcharge.
- River View: These rooms offer direct views of the Sassagoula River, including some rooms which overlook the courtyards or lawns in front of the river. They do not guarantee any particular proximity to the main buildings — however at Riverside, all of the directly river-facing rooms do tend to give fairly convenient access to the facilities areas anyway. River View rooms can be located in French Quarter buildings 1, 2, 5, 6 and 7, or at Riverside in Alligator Bayou lodges 14, 27 and 38 plus the mansion buildings. $30 per night surcharge.

Royal Guest Rooms (located in Riverside’s Oak Manor and Parterre Place mansion buildings only)
- Royal Guest Room: These are the cheapest of the Royal Guest Rooms and generally face towards parking lots, or have partially obscured views (such as beside stairways, etc). Royal Guest Rooms start at approximately $30 more than regular rooms at the resort.
- Royal Guest Room Garden View: These rooms offer pleasant views of the gardens, courtyards (including water features and fountains) or landscaping — but NOT of the parking lots. $40 per night surcharge over a regular resort room.
- Royal Guest Room Water View: These rooms face towards the nearby quiet swimming pool. $55 per night surcharge over a regular resort room.
- Royal Guest Room River View: These rooms offer direct views of the Sassagoula River, including some rooms which overlook the courtyards or lawns in front of the river. However at these prices some people have commented that you could almost stay at a Deluxe resort. $60 per night surcharge over a regular resort room.

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.
