My girlfriend and I did one of the horse-drawn carriage rides at POR (it was a surprise for her for her first ever night in Disney). We really enjoyed it. Our driver was very nice and friendly before and after the ride and allowed us to have our privacy and enjoy the carriage ride without him really talking much. The horse was also very friendly and we got go pet him and get a picture with him.

It probably runs about $45 or so by now (was $35 when we went the week between Christmas and NYE 08-09). The cost is per carriage ride, not per person and the carriage carry's I think 4 people. The ride lasted about half an hour and was a great way to see the resort at night. Also, you can bring drinks with you, so before you set out grab a glass of wine or something and sit back and enjoy the ride. Very worth it.

I believe the other resort that has the carriage rides is Ft. Wilderness, but we haven't been on one of those yet.
