We had our room on the second floor, no elevator . The room is ok a standard room pretty big size, with 2 full beds and a Murphy bed under the tv. It has few elements that lets you know that you are in Disney, mostly decorative. The major pool is farther away, but they still have a smaller pool just pool, no slides or disney touch , close by. The property was kept clean, but the rooms were not attended just every other day . The lawn is meticulously kept . Plenty of parking. No shopping or restaurant in immediate distance, you have to drive to the check in place for them . I think for the price even do is considered moderate Disney property and for being Disney I expect more .

Housekeeping is no longer on a daily basis. Most times we had to call for more clean towels. The food in the food court is not very good except for the pizza and breakfast items. The soda machines were empty way too often as was the ice machines. This has been our 8th time staying at Riverside but the quality of the facility has gone down. French Quarter was so much nicer, especially the pool that was so beautiful & colorful. The food court was so much nicer & cleaner too. We would consider staying there instead of Riverside when we return next year.
