Perfect Port Orleans Carriage
Every Disney picture tells a Disney story, and today we continue with our set of perfect park pics from Dan Sisneros, who yelled "Giddyup!" and waved his Mickey-eared cowboy hat above his head as he boarded the Port Orleans carriage. (Or not.)
Port Orleans is one of my favorite Disney resorts. I enjoy the convenience of the boat to Downtown Disney, and I enjoy the theming, especially at Riverside.
What's especially nice about Port Orleans Riverside, in particular on cool, breezy nights, is taking a horse-drawn carriage ride on the banks of the Sassagoula River, just you and a special someone (or someones if the kids or maybe the in-laws are along), an informative driver, and of course, the horse.
The ride costs $45, no matter how many people pile into the carriage. You can reserve a time in advance, and probably should, though in my experience it's not difficult to book passage on a walk-up basis.
The ride itself lasts about half an hour. The first ride departs at 6:00 PM, the last at 9:30 PM, and...
Egad! What's that smell?
It's the horse. Of course.
Before the driver dumps you back off at the 'dock' near Boatwright's Dining Hall, the horse sometimes needs to take a dump or two of its own...
And with that pleasant thought:
