"Designed like an old town on the Mississippi Delta, the huge, 2,048-room Riverside is one of Disney's best Moderate-category hotels." Full review
DK Eyewitness "This antebellum, Southern-style resort has two distinctive areas alongside a picturesque Mississippi-style waterway."
Rough Guide "This resort
combines two Southern themes: the row houses and
cobbled streets of New Orleans in the French Quarter; and
the grandiose manors overlooking the Mississippi River at
the Riverside."

""Evoking the grandeur of the Old South" and offering "serenity to the overstimulated", this "gem" is a "sprawling" resort set on "lovely" grounds in a "killer" location."
Fodor's "Buildings in this family-friendly, moderately priced resort look like Southern plantation–style mansions (in the Magnolia Bend section) and rustic bayou dwellings." Full review
Gayot "Elegant manors and quaint bayou lodges pay tribute to Dixie at this relaxing, moderate Disney resort."
