I paid $50 to ride a horse-drawn carriage at Disney World's Port Orleans Resort – Riverside.
Although it was tricky to score a reservation, it was worth the persistence for the amazing views.

Throughout my 20 years of visiting Disney World, I've stayed at Port Orleans Resort – Riverside twice and visited multiple times.

But it wasn't until my most recent staycation at the resort that I saw other guests riding in horse-drawn carriages and wanted to reserve a trip for myself.

Availability for rides is limited, so it was somewhat tricky to reserve a time slot.

I could easily make my way onto the carriage in high heels, but they aren't accessible for everyone.
