LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- Stately southern mansions, rustic bayou dwellings and ornate row-house buildings are recalled at Disney's Port Orleans Resort, a 3,056-room resort that features two "regions" -- the French Quarter and Riverside.

Southern architecture creates the setting for romance amid trees and flowers. The resort offers a step back in time into the heart and soul of the Southern region of our country.

The two themed regions -- totaling 3,056 rooms -- are connected by a winding road and picturesque waterways to capture the mystery and romance of a trip up the Mississippi River from New Orleans to Natchez. But in the Walt Disney World geography, resort guests can travel by flat-bottomed boats even farther "down river," to the shops and showplaces of Downtown Disney -- including the Marketplace, West Side and Pleasure Island.

Southern-Styled Grace and Charm
Disney's Port Orleans-Riverside is a 2,048-room fantasy vacation adventure depicting the lifestyle of the great Old South with wandering paths, picturesque waterways and the sounds of Cajun music. The resort includes mansion-style accommodations and rustic retreats. Most rooms sleep four. Rooms in Alligator Bayou offer a child sleeper and accommodate five.

The cuisine is varied, with a blend of Cajun specialties and American fare at Boatwright's Dining Hall, a 195-seat family restaurant reminiscent of a wooden shipbuilding yard. Colonel's Cotton Mill food court, which seats 450, features pizza, roasted chicken, spicy fried chicken, pasta dishes and a bakery in a themed cotton-mill setting.

The focal point of Ol' Man Island is a 3.5-acre recreation complex with pools, spa, fishing hole and playground. Bicycles and boats also are available at Riverside Levee Marina. The Muddy Rivers pool bar on Ol' Man Island will quench the greatest thirst.

For a relaxing and entertaining evening, the Cotton Co-op lounge provides the perfect atmosphere. Next door is Fulton's General Store featuring southern-style apparel as well as a wide variety of sundries.
