Disney’s Port Orleans French Quarter Resort is a place where Mardi Gras meets charm and elegance making you feel truly immersed in the beauty of The French Quarter District in New Orleans, Louisiana. The details from the imagineers are outstanding. There are magnificent Magnolia Trees, Cobblestone walkways, the scenic Sassagoula river, and touches of Mardi Gras throughout the resort.
This resort is the smallest of the five in the Moderate category at The Walt Disney Resort making it feel the most quaint which is a great choice for a family wanting a calm and peaceful feel. It’s also an excellent choice for couples looking for a romantic getaway. This resort is home to 1008 Guest rooms each equipped with amenities for the entire family. The rooms are beautiful and stick to the overall theming of the resort very well. Each room has a large HDMI flat-screen tv with audio and video inputs for video games or streaming.

There are plenty of things to do around the resort! Recreation activities and excursions are available daily! The newly refurbished pool which is home to the Sea Serpent water slide for thrills, spa (hot tub) for relaxing and unwinding after a long day at the parks, and an incredible splash pad for guests 48 inches and under! Towels are complimentary at the main pool. There is only one pool at Port Orleans French Quarter due to the small size of the resort. And speaking of recreation, the pool has games and trivia daily except during inclement weather. There are so many other activities to join in the fun such as horse drawn carriage rides, boating, biking, evening campfires, movies under the stars, and more!
