carriage rides POR

I've searched this thread to no avail. Anyone know how much the carriage rides are at POR? And is the fishing free?

Horse-drawn Carriage Rides
Take a relaxing, old-fashioned horse & carriage ride through the beautiful and serene woodlands and pathways of the Port Orleans resorts. Your private ride commences at the Port Orleans Riverside marina dockside (just behind the lobby building) and takes you on a slow and romantic journey along the banks of the Sassagoula River to Port Orleans French Quarter, where you will turn around in its quaint New Orleans-style streets for your return journey back to Riverside.

The cost is $45 including tax for the 25-minute set route and the carriage can hold up to four adults, or three adults and two small children (children under 18 must be accompanied by an adult). You should arrive at the marina area no later than 15 minutes before your scheduled departure time and wait for the carriage to collect you. The service may be cancelled in cases of inclement weather.

•Departures are every 30 minutes during scheduled operating hours, which are normally 5:30pm/6pm — 9:30pm. There is usually a short rest break for the horses at 7:30pm so that time slot will probably not be available.
•Reservations are recommended and can be made up to 180 days in advance on 1-407-WDW-PLAY (1-407-939-7529). A credit card is required to confirm but this will only be charged for no-shows or cancellations at less than 24-hours notice.
•Guests wishing to check on same-day availability may call 1-407-824-2832, and walk-up guests will be accepted at the departure location if there is no pre-booked reservation for that time slot.
•Final payment should be made directly to the carriage driver in cash. Credit Cards are not accepted, but you may charge the ride directly to your room by using your Key to the World key card.
•Due to the nature of the carriages they are not wheelchair accessible. Guests must be able to exit from wheelchairs and step up into the carriage.

Cane Pole Fishing
Port Orleans Riverside features an old-fashioned Fishin’ Hole that’s fun for the whole family, located on Ol’ Man Island just behind the Muddy Waters pool bar. The fishing hole is open from 7:00am until 1:30pm and is stocked with catfish, blue gill and bass. Children under the age of 12 must be accompanied by an adult. All fishing at Walt Disney World Resort property is “catch and release” only, but you’re welcome to take pictures to prevent those “big fish that got away” stories later.

Cane Pole Fishing
Plan Period Price
Family (up to 6 people) 30 mins $12.50 ($13.32 this includes tax)
Individual 30 mins $4.00 ($4.26 this includes tax)

You're welcome It is a great site. I've done both the carriage ride at Ft. Wilderness and POR and think the one at POR is MUCH better. Very nice right around sunset/dusk.
