Yes, you can easily walk between Disney's Port Orleans Resort - French Quarter and Port Orleans Riverside. The two resorts are connected by a scenic, paved walking path that runs alongside the Sassagoula River. The distance between the two main lobby buildings (The Mint and Riverside Mill) is approximately 0.5 miles (about 0.8 km), which typically takes a leisurely 10 to 15 minutes. This path is popular with guests who want to "resort hop" to enjoy the different dining options, such as grabbing Mickey-shaped beignets at the French Quarter or having a table-service dinner at Boatwright's Dining Hall in Riverside. The path is well-lit at night and features several benches and rearview mirrors (used for the horse-drawn carriage tours that frequently traverse the same route). For those who prefer not to walk, a complimentary water taxi also shuttles guests between the two resorts and Disney Springs, providing a relaxing alternative for moving between these "sister" properties.
