It is currently being reported that there is a resort-wide power outage at Disney’s Port Orleans Resort — Riverside at Walt Disney World Resort.

Inside the Magic called Disney’s Port Orleans Riverside directly at approximately 5:45 pm and the front desk, unfortunately, could not give an ETA on when the power will get restored, but we will keep you updated on this story as we get more information.

Reportedly, the power is being restored gradually, although Disney couldn’t confirm with Inside The Magic an exact time.

Disney guests who are currently staying at Disney’s Port Orleans Resort – Riverside are tweeting and stating that there is currently a power outage across the entire resort property.

Also at this time, we are unsure of the cause of the power outage but it is being reported that there is a backup generator that is being used to keep emergency lights on for safety reasons (as well as to help operate cash registers).

It is also being reported that current Disney guests with refillable resort mugs are being offered bottled beverages since the power outage has caused the soda fountains to not operate properly.

And since the power is out, Riverside Mill is unable to prepare and cook food at this time.
