Simple question, can you walk from Saratoga Springs to Port Orleans Freach Quarter/Riverside, or do you have to take the boat?

Can you walk from SSR to POR?

As far as I know, no. I do know that you can't do it from OKW, but for either one if you could it would be a long walk.

Theoretically it can be done. However there are no sidewalks along either road (DVC Way and Bonnett Creek Pkwy), both roads are relatively busy and are not real safe to walk along. Disney does not encourage walking outside of the parks or resorts. I've actually seen security stop and pick people up rather than let them continue walking where they shouldn't be. BTW, it is about 2 miles from the SSR lobby to the POR lobby.

Boat to PO-RS/FO
Animaniac, unless there has been a change within the last year, the water taxi goes from the PORS/FO resorts to Downtown Disney and back. I am not aware of a boat from SSR to Port Orleans.

I don't think you can walk from SSR to POR. Nor do the boats go directly. The boat from POR goes to the marketplace. From there you can catch another boat to SSR, or simply walk.
Regarding walking...you can walk all the way around the lake at DTD, encompassing marketplace, PI, West Side, a bridge over to SSR, and then through SSR and along a sidewalk back to marketplace. Takes 30 minutes or so, and my wife and I calculated that as exactly the amount of walking necessary to justify a stop at Ghirardelli's for ice cream <g>.
You can also walk from DTD (or SSR) to OKW, along a lighted path through the golf course and along with the waterway.

I don't believe this paved trail through the golf course is lighted all the way to OKW from SSR. As you get past SSR, a sign is posted that the trail on to OKW is only open during daylight hours for safety reasons. It's a nice, pleasant walk in the daytime. Many people staying at OKW don't know the trail exists, and it's kind of a hidden treasure when you discover it.

I did a photo walk from OKW to near DD (where DD/SS/OKW meet) and then from SS and around Dowtown Disney in a circle.
The path from OKW is only open from dawn to dusk, not after dark. I am guessing there are no lights there.
I don't know about from POR, I haven't seen a path.

The boat ride from DTD to Port Orleans Riverside, and vice versa, is fun and interesting.
The boat also stops at Port Orleans French Qarter.
