Port Orleans Riverside Opinions needed!

[PSM]

Riverside is one of those all-around relaxing experiences, not just because it's more of a low-energy hotel but because the theming, walkways, buildings, river, flora, and pretty much everything else about it induce serenity. You really can't go wrong with this hotel if you're seeking to kick back more when you're not at the parks or Disney Springs.

A beautiful resort, very picturesque and tranquil, great theming-but way too big, for my taste, anyway.

If you're willing to pay for a Royal Guest Room or even just a preferred room (I think; I've only ever done the Royal Guest), which aren't a huge price increase, the size is no longer an issue. Nothing is further than a roughly 5 minute walk, which is as good as you'll get at any resort.

I can imagine it being an issue if you were staying in one of the buildings at the back of the resort, though.
