Water Fun at Port Orleans Riverside
The only way to get to the massive 3.5-acre family water park, Ol’ Man Island is to walk across one of the three bridges over the Sassagoula River. Once you are on the island, the excitement starts to take over as the large Family Pool comes in to view. The Pool at the Ol’ Man Island is the largest of the six (6) pools at Disney’s Port Orleans Riverside, and the 95-foot water slide awaits, ready to give you a fun, twisting ride to the splash-down area in the pool. A large, circular children’s pool is located beside the main pool with plenty of lounge chairs for the parents to relax while the little ones play and cool off.
More fun at the French Quarter
Many guests who book a room at the Port Orleans Riverside don’t realize that they also have access to all of the Fun things to do at the Port Orleans French Quarter right next door. Perfect for the smaller kids, the Doubloon Lagoon water play area has a large pool with a colorful sea serpent built to span the entire pool area with a 51-foot water slide for the kids to slip and slide on all day long. Even more enjoyable for the little ones is the full kid’s splash park with smaller water slide, zero-entry and plenty of sprinklers and water fountains. The Doubloon Lagoon shows itself off with bright, vibrant colors that you would see when attending Mardi Gras in New Orleans.
