Watercraft Rentals
Pedal boats, canoes, kayaks, sailboats and motorised boats can be rented to use on the Sassagoula River.
Located in the Downtown Disney, this Disney Resort Hotel has fantastic facilities and will take you back to the days of giant paddle-steamers to sample a Southern life of luxury. Return to the elegance and charm of riverboat days at Riverside where gracious mansions and bayou accommodations line a Mississippi-style waterway, whilst over at the French Quarter, the fun and excitement of New Orleans comes alive.
