We stay at Port Orleans Riverside a lot; it's our favorite place at WDW. We have never eaten at Boatwrights.
For breakfast we use the food court, often arriving even before the hot food line is open. The reason is that we want to get an early start and go ahead and catch the bus to the park. We use the Grab and Go section and get juice, fruit, cereal, etc. plus coffee. It's always good and we don't eat large breakfasts at home anyway.
If we happen to get to the food court when the hot food lline is open, then we can get pancakes and sausage, scrambled eggs, etc. We like the fact that you can set your own pace in the food court. You don't have to wait for a waiter. Also- a big point- POR has one of the nicest food courts at WDW with a lot of wood decor and windows and plenty of seating.
On the days that we do get a larger breakfast, it's at a buffet like Crystal Palace, where I go wild and totally over eat, particularly the French Toast thingys. (The chef at CP gave us the recipe.)
Have fun at Port Orleans Riverside and don't hesitate to use the food court there if you are not looking for a sit-down breakfast.
