About
Ol' Man River Main Pool is the feature pool at Disney's Port Orleans Resort Riverside, situated on Ol' Man Island. This large, family-friendly swimming area is themed as an old-fashioned swimming hole, complete with a 95-foot-long waterslide housed within a rustic mill building replica, a hot tub, a separate kiddie pool, and a splash play area for children. Its design evokes a charming, rustic Louisiana bayou atmosphere, offering a relaxing and fun experience.

What are people saying (AI review summary)? This Disney pool at Riverside is largely praised for being heated, safe, and clean, offering a peaceful atmosphere. It features a big, uniquely shaped pool with an excellent water slide, fountains, and fun water sprays, plus engaging activities for younger guests. Amenities include ample seating, hammocks, a walk-up bar with poolside service, and consistently refilled towels. While the hot tub is highlighted as amazing, it is frequently described as small and very crowded, with issues of children present and a perceived lack of enforcement of time limits, which sometimes prevents adult guests from using it. Despite the pool area often being busy, it generally manages to feel spacious, and cast members are noted for good service, though some expressed concerns about lifeguards' inaction regarding hot tub crowding.

This is one of the better pools on Disney Property. While it can get busy, it’s heated unlike other pools at Riverside & has a hot tub. The pool is safe, has many features, including fountains, and a water slide. The vibe is peaceful and clean, and overall this pool will give guests at Riverside a wonderful experience.

Big pool with a nice slide. It also has water spraying at you, which is fun. Lots of seating around the pool, as well as a hot tub.

The hot tub is amazing! Very crowded though. Even smaller children are going in so the parents can have their time in the hot tub. The pool activities were super cute for the younger guests. The area was crowded but it didn’t feel crowded. There was a young child with a nose bleed and it seemed as though cast members took good care of her and her family. We loved the fact that there were hammocks! The towels are constantly being refilled and cast members are seen trying to keep up with the demand and the hot weather.

Great facility. Unique pool shape and water slide are amazing for kids. Walk-up bar (and poolside service) are also great!
