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.

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.

Destination Unknown Part 3

Si and Au in Zagreb! We were happy to finally arrive in Zagreb Croatia. Our butler had filled the Enter Croatia form so we entered the country without hassle. We took the bus from the airport and walked to our new home for the next few days. We stayed in our apartment in Zagreb for three nights. It was a really nice apartment with a small kitchenette. The only downside was that the apartment had a single bed. Mjau, we had to share the bed with our butler so it got a bit crowded. Apartments Lucky Place in Zagreb. It's wonderful to have our own kitchen! It was a breath of fresh air to be in Croatia. The restrictions regarding covid-19 are not as strict here. You still have to wear a facemask inside. Otherwise things are as usual.  Shopping in Zagreb! We mostly walked around town and did some Christmas shopping. We also visited the Museum of Broken Relationships. It is a very interesting and unique museum. People from all over the world donate items related to a broken relationship. A...

First Visit to Shanghai Disneyland

Mjau, our first family photo in front of the castle! Mjau, last December we finally visited Shanghai Disneyland. We wanted to spend Christmas at Hong Kong Disneyland, so it was the perfect opportunity to visit Shanghai Disneyland as well and take advantage of the 144-hour visa free transit rule. Mjau, on our way to Shanghai! Mjau, the elegant Shanghai Disneyland Hotel during the night! After the long flight from Finland to Shanghai we took the Taxi to our hotel, the Shanghai Disneyland Hotel. We were really impressed by the hotel! The hotel had an elegant Art Deco theme. We will tell you more about the hotel in our Shanghai Disneyland Hotel Review! We really liked all the Fantasia details in the café and the lounge. Positively amazing!  Mjau, the view from the hotel is amazing! Across the lake you could see Disneyland, the castle is so big you can easily see it from the hotel. Tomorrowland also looks extra inviting from the hotel in the evenings, wit...

Destination Unknown: Part 1

Bu at Old Town Square in Prague. We had a wonderful start to 2020. We had just visited Shanghai Disneyland for the first time and we celebrated Christmas in Hong Kong Disneyland. We had a wonderful New Year in Taiwan. Our butler had gotten a steady job on the side of being our butler and we got an apartment in Lahti, Finland. However, as they say, all good things must come to an end. Covid-19 arrived.  After being stuck in our apartment for most of the year we had finally had enough. We made the decision to give up the apartment. We packed our biggest suitcase and booked a flight to Prague a few days prior to our departure. Si enjoying lunch at Espresso House. It was an interesting experience being at Helsinki-Vantaa Airport. So quiet and empty! Thankfully Espresso House was still open and we got to enjoy a Pumpkin Latte and Chicken-Mozarella Focaccia while making plans for our trip. At Espresso House we booked our first hotel in Prague. Our lovely room 41 at Hotel U Pr...
