Jazz it Up at Disney’s Port Orleans French Quarter

By admin

Designed after a historic New Orleans district, Port Orleans French Quarter at Walt Disney World has a charming appeal for all ages. With a combination of a carnival atmosphere appealing to children, a Mardi Gras theme for adults, and luxurious, romantic architecture and furnishings to please couples, this resort is a winner!

It’s one of the smallest resorts on Disney property with 1008 rooms in seven three-story buildings. The “sister resort” next door, Port Orleans Riverside has more than twice the number of rooms. The small size of French Quarter is especially appealing to many senior citizens who don’t want to feel “lost” in a huge resort. The buildings and grounds are especially well kept. There are pink and blue guest buildings with wrought-iron filigree, shuttered windows and old fashioned lamp posts. The landscape is dotted with colorful figures, such as jesters and alligators that are perfect for photo opportunities!

There’s a food court called Sassagoula Floatworks and Food Factory decorated with Mardi Gras parade props featuring standard fare as well as Cajun specialties. Authentic beignets are a special treat at the bakery and can be addicting! Pizza delivery is offered too. A major drawback of this resort is that it lacks a full service restaurant. Boatright’s Dining Hall at Port Orleans Riverside is within walking distance though. Live entertainment is a big hit at Scat Cat’s Club on selected evenings.
One of the great things about this resort is the swimming pool and jacuzzi. The pool features a huge dragon slide and a playful Alligator band that shoots water. There is also a nice playground for kids as well as an arcade. Recreational opportunities include, horse drawn carriage rides, a Cajun campfire, movies under the stars, fishing and the Bayou Pirate Adventure at the Riverside Marina.

 

Transportation is available by water launch service to Downtown Disney and by bus to other Disney World Resort locations.
Bring your family to Disney’s Port Orleans French Quarter and have fun at this part of the “Big Easy”! You’ll be back again!
