Disney's Port Orleans - French Quarter

Mjau, we have stayed at the French Quarter a couple of times. We really like the theme of New Orleans that they have at the resort.

Rooms at French Quarter.

The restrooms are a bit small.

The rooms feel a bit colder as they do not have a carpet. There is also not really any Disney details. The rooms still look elegant. We definitely prefer the rooms at Riverside, although we really like the theming of the exterior. Mjau, we really like the small parks with fountains.

We really like the buildings!

The jazz theme can be seen all over the resort!

One of the highlights is the Scat Cat lounge with live music on select nights. Our Granddads and their friends went there one night and said it was amazing. They have delicious drinks and the beignets are delicious, mjau. You will however need an ID to purchase the beignets as you will get three small basters with different fillings: Kahlua, Rum Chata and Baileys. Mjau, it is like a fun science project. You will fill the beignets yourselves with the different alcohol, so you can mix and match if you want. A tip from Grandpa is to not order a drink if you are having the beignets as they are really strong.

Scat Cats, named after Grandpas very successful Parisian band.

Delicious Beignets!

These are the basters the alcohol filling was in.

There is also a food court at French Quarter, Sassagoula Floatworks and Food Factory. Mjau, make sure to look at the decorations by the entrance as you will find different Disney characters from The Princess and the Frog in the cards.

It takes around 15 to 20 minutes to walk from French Quarter to Riverside along the Sassagoula River. Sometimes we just take a relaxing stroll between the resorts if we need to get away from the crowds at Walt Disney World.

Having a fun time with jazz playing alligators!

The French Quarter only has one swimming pool, Doubloon Lagoon. There is a scary sea serpent named Scales that you can use as a slide. We guess it is safe, mjau. No children have been eaten yet. There is also a friendly alligator jazz band that play music all day. Mjauhihi, our butlers started fighting over one of them. Poor alligator…

Au even found a street named after her!

You can get to Disney Springs using the boat. You will have to use the bus to get to the parks. There is only one bus stop at the French Quarter but the bus is shared with Riverside as well.

We do not know if we prefer French Quarter or Riverside. Riverside is definitely more relaxed and the experience is different depending on which area you are staying at. The French Quarter is a bit more compact. We really like the theme of New Orleans and Jazz at the French Quarter.
