Just got back from Disney World and stayed at Port Orleans Riverside, but heads up: a major room refurbishment is going on there, especially in the Magnolia Bend section. What was supposed to wrap up in January 2026 is now extended to March! If you’re the kind of traveler who values peace and a midday nap, the daytime noise and visible construction might really get on your nerves.
If you’re planning a trip before March 2026, I’d honestly recommend switching to Port Orleans, French Quarter. It’s a quieter vibe and no construction mess right now. Have you stayed at Riverside during renovations? Did it affect your experience or were you able to enjoy around the noise?
