We’re heading down the bayou for a sibling showdown as Port Orleans Riverside takes on Port Orleans French Quarter in the latest round of Resort Wars. These two charming Moderates may share a name and a boat to Disney Springs. Still, when it comes to theming, food, amenities, and overall vibe—they couldn’t be more different.
Mardi Gras or Magnolia Trees? It’s Time to Choose.
We walk through seven battle rounds, comparing everything from room layouts and transportation to pool fun, recreation options, and value for your hard-earned vacation dollar. French Quarter brings that cozy, jazz-filled energy with colorful buildings, cobblestone streets, and of course—those famous Mickey-shaped beignets. However, Riverside answers back with lush walking paths, Royal Guest Rooms, and the fan-favorite Yeeha Bob at River Roost Lounge.

Along the way, we’ll share our own experiences at both resorts, a few personal preferences, and what we think makes each one special. We also reveal the results from your votes in our Facebook poll—because this battle isn’t just about us…it’s about the whole Main Street Magic community.
So grab your floatworks beignet or your fishing rod from Ol’ Man Island, and let’s settle this once and for all. Additionally, the Main Street Magic Podcast is released twice a week, on Tuesdays and Fridays. The Main Street Magic Podcast is an informative, realistic, unbiased, and often entertaining podcast designed to serve the Disney and Universal communities, catering to both veterans and rookies.
