Port Orleans Riverside Boardwalk Closed for Decking and Railing Repairs

Temporary barriers and signs reroute guests while crews replace most plank decking and many wooden railings as part of a multi‑phase resort refresh.

Overview

  • The wooden boardwalk that runs around the Riverside Mill Food Court at Disney’s Port Orleans Resort – Riverside is closed to guests as crews carry out decking and railing work, a change reported Tuesday.
  • On-site photos and visits show most of the plank flooring has already been replaced but a short stretch at one end still has open gaps and unfinished railing sections with new boards staged for installation.
  • Short construction walls block both entrances to the walkway and Disney has placed directional signage to steer guests along an alternate route to the dining area.
  • Disney has not published a completion date for this specific boardwalk segment, though the work sits inside a larger Port Orleans Riverside refurbishment period that Disney lists from early May 2025 through August 2027.
  • The closure changes how guests move between resort areas and dining; the visible progress suggests the repair may be nearing its end but visitors should expect temporary reroutes until Disney confirms the finish date.
