Alligator Bayou area, buildings 14, 16 and 18 are great! Close to pool, bus and Main dining hall....Don't forget to catch Piano man BOB..he's just great fun for the whole family!!!


I'll be going back to Riverside in 73 more days..WOOHOO!!!! Love it there!

I usually stayed in Alligator Bayou 14 or 15. Both are real close to buses and Main hall.

I agree with dixiegirl. Yehaa Bob is a MUST DO. He is great fun:sohappy:

I agree with the other Alligator Bayou, I did not care forBoatwrights, IMHO I say skip it and go to DTD for dinner.

Alligator Bayou 14 or 15. They are preferred and will cost extra. Also, when leaving the parks, if the line for the Riverside bus is 4 to 5 busses long and French Quarter is short, hop in the FQ line and take it. Then either take a nice stroll or boat ride back to RS. We did this leaving MK in May and got back to our Resort in no time. We also got to see FQ which was nice.

We enjoy the Oaks and Partier place. Actually all the buildings that I have stayed in at this Resort over the years has really been nice. We stay at this Resort 90% of our visits and love it.

Does anyone know if Magnolia Terrace is a preferred rate or upcharge because it is close to the bus?

We had building 85 Magnolia Terrace. Our room was on the second floor and the bus stop for the east depot was 5 sec walk... It was about a 5 minute walk to the main pool and main building...perfect....

This is great advice. We are staying at Riverside in March for the first time and would have never known about it. Thank you.

Think I want to jump in on the questions because I was about to start a thread about staying at either POFQ or POR. We are planning on going down in August and are trying to decide which resort to stay at. We've stayed at both CBR and CSR. Liked CBR and loved CSR. Toying with the idea of changing things up and choosing one of the PO's. Can anyone give me some advice on which to choose and which buildings to stay. I also heard that there were some rooms at POFQ that were renovated. Which ones were those and does anyone know where I can find pics of them?

Yeah, we were leaving MK in May midway through evening EMH and the line for RS was crazy long and the FQ line had maybe 6 people in it. At MK, the bus stops are right next to each other so it was easy to just move from one line to the next.
