Although they were smallish - about the size of any standard hotel room, I think Disney does a great job with creative storage, so we never felt like we were tripping over each other or our stuff. We stayed there a week, and enjoyed the resort. The pool area was nice, as was the play area (one of the bigger ones we had seen). It was a hike to the bus stops, but parking was just outside the room for us, so that was really convenient. Overall, for a moderate resort, I would recommend staying here.

Although this isn't a luxury resort, it was part of Walt Disney's dream to be able to provide accommodations for families on every size budget. Disney's Port Orleans Riverside Resort (formerly called Dixie Landings) is the second largest moderately priced resort at Walt Disney World with over 2,000 guest rooms. There are two parts to this resort: Magnolia Bend and Alligator Bayou. Magnolia Bend is designed to look like two and three story mansion homes while Alligator Bayou has two story, cottage style buildings.
Most rooms at this resort have two double beds each and accommodate up to four adults comfortably. The rooms at Alligator Bayou have two double beds and a trundle bed for kids under five feet, accommodating up to five people. Every room has a ceiling fan, two pedestal sinks, a television, a table and two chairs, a dresser and a bathroom with bathtub/shower, toilet and a retractable clothes line.
