There are over 25 uniquely themed Disney Resort hotels at Walt Disney World, each inviting you to immerse yourself in a different world between your adventures throughout the theme parks and beyond.
When you stay at Disney’s Port Orleans – French Quarter, you’re instantly transported to the lively streets of New Orleans. Colorful building facades, grand walkways and lush greenery evoke the feeling of walking through the city’s historic streets.
Now, with over a thousand room refurbishments officially completed, guests have even more festive flair to discover at this fan-favorite resort.
Enjoy Charming Refurbished Rooms at French Quarter
Throughout each room, colorful fabrics and patterns inspired by the city’s charming architecture bring the lively spirit of “The Big Easy” to life, just like the buildings’ vibrant exteriors.
You’ll also notice nods to Mardi Gras celebrations, including artwork featuring those iconic purple, gold and green beads.
New portraits add even more character, featuring Princess Tiana, Prince Naveen, Louis and Charlotte La Bouff from “The Princess and the Frog” all dressed in their Mardi Gras best and dancing through the French Quarter in style!
Take a close look at the intricate detailing on the bathroom door and mosaic-style pattern above the beds, and you might catch hidden details like Tiana’s sparkling tiara, drums, and trumpets—an homage to New Orleans’ jazz roots.
The refreshed bathroom is as relaxing as it is functional. It offers plenty of storage options and a spacious counter, perfect for those mornings when the family is getting ready before a fun-filled day at the theme parks.
Get Transported to New Orleans
Outdoors, the theming continues with updated surfaces and vibrant designs throughout the newly refurbished Doubloon Lagoon pool area and Mardi Grogs pool bar. These now feature a brighter, more upscale look with airy blues, black-and-white tiles, and wrought iron details. They perfectly weave in those recognizable New Orleans elements while complementing the relaxed poolside vibe.
“This resort is all about transporting guests to the heart of New Orleans, and the recent enhancements bring that story to life in exciting new ways,” said Diane Petit, General Manager, Disney’s Port Orleans Resort. “Everything ties back to the charm and culture that our guests love.”
Experience All the Resort Has to Offer
When you’re not relaxing in these newly reimagined spaces, there’s no shortage of fun to experience around the resort. From taking a spin down the colorful sea serpent waterslide (named Scales!) to catching a movie under the stars, there’s something for everyone.
Personally, I love listening to the live jazz music at Scat Cat’s Club – Lounge, taking a stroll along the scenic Sassagoula River, renting bikes, or even hopping aboard a boat to Disney Springs – one of the complimentary transportation options available as part of your stay. And of course, no visit to the French Quarter is complete without Mickey-shaped beignets from Scat Cat’s Club – Café!
Stay in the Magic This Summer
There is so much fun in store this summer as we get ready to kick off Cool Kid Summer, coming to Walt Disney World May 27 through September 1. Families can make a splash with special deals and Disney-themed activities at select resorts.
