Port Orleans Riverside Resort

We’ve got some adorable merchandise, construction updates, and interesting activities to tell you about, so let’s get started!

Port Orleans Resort Food Update

Let’s kick things off at Port Orleans Resort, Riverside’s own Riverside Mill!

In Riverside Mill Food Court, we spotted some Lil’ Rascal Pino Noir single-serving canned wines! It was the first time we spotted these wines on Disney World property! Guests over the age of 21 can enjoy one for $11 or as the beverage selection with a Disney Dining Plan counter service credit.

We love seeing the gorgeous bakery cases full of sweets and goodies at Sassagoula Floatworks & Food Factory and Riverside Mill Food Court! Did you know that Riverside Mill is one of only a few spots where you can always get a Magic (i.e. Seven Layer) Bar?

We’re hungry just looking at that Mickey Beignet from Port Orleans Resort — French Quarter.

While we didn’t spot anything new in the bakery cases, a friendly Cast Member informed us that they expect to have a The Lion King-themed cupcake dropping in soon.

Port Orleans Resort Merchandise Update

Like we were saying before, beignets really make us build up an appetite. The Cafe du Monde Beignet Mix from Jackson Square Gifts & Desires would be a wonderful gift to take home to a loved one (or to yourself — no judgment here!). You can grab their coffee as well for a breakfast that will make you party more than Mardi Gras!

Cafe du Monde Products

Recently, the Cafe du Monde items have been out of stock at Port Orleans — French Quarter. But now they’re back, baby! We’re pretty sure a lot of people feel the same way we do about beignets.
