New Update on Construction at Disney’s Port Orleans Riverside – And It’s Not a Good One

If you’re planning to stay at a Disney World Resort during your next vacation to The Most Magical Place on Earth, you’ll need to read this tidbit before booking.

Disney’s Port Orleans — Riverside

We’re always keeping track of construction updates throughout the parks and the resorts (have you seen the chaos happening at the Grand Floridian?), and while we’ve been watching this one for a few months, it looks like we’re going to be watching it for a bit longer than we thought.

Construction at Disney’s Port Orleans Resort — Riverside started in May and will continue through February 2026! It was initially listed for January but got pushed back a month.

The construction is happening in the rooms in the Magnolia Bend, and guests may be able to hear and see construction during the day hours.

The rest of the resort is fully operating, and you won’t have to deal with any area or amenities closures. This is great because if you’re staying at a Disney World Resort and not using their pool, you’re missing out. They’re great ways to relax, cool down from the heat, and take a break from the parks.

It’s Scales the sea serpent!

During your rest in the parks, you’ll need some food, right? We love Boatwright’s Dining Hall for a casual meal and a drink from River Roost for the full Louisiana vibes.

While you’re at Riverside, you should also head on over to the sister resort, Port Orleans Resort — French Quarter. You’ll find delicious beignets (and most likely me listening to live music and eating beignets), and don’t forget to check out the pool here, too.

Even though there is construction happening, Port Orleans — Riverside might still be an incredible option for your family. Disney is usually very good at keeping construction to the daytime hours, so you won’t have to worry about staying up due to noise.
