A Treat for the Senses
A delectable treat for the eyes and ears await at the Disney Port Orleans French Quarter Resort, with a mixture of colorful Mardi Gras intertwined into the romance and elegance of cobblestone streets filled with gas lanterns. It is impossible for your senses to not pick up on the diverse nature of fun and culture at the Port Orleans French Quarter. Jazz fills the air from the moment you step foot into the main hall through the elegant courtyards and up to your room. The music helps to bring life to the French Quarter and you will likely meet some colorful characters during your stay. Cobblestone walkways lead you to the various spaces around the Disney Port Orleans Resort and the bright colors are exciting to your eyes as you wander through the numerous segments of the property.
Port Orleans French Quarter Resort Accommodations
Cobblestone paths connect the seven (7) different buildings that you can stay in. If you are looking to stay near the large family pool area, you will want to stay in building two (2) or five (5). Buildings 1, 2, 5, 6 & 7 all have sections that offer river view rooms where you can watch the boats go by from your balcony. Each of the 1,008 French Quarter rooms are themed beautifully to match the style of New Orleans. Think about the view you want before booking your room. Stay by the river, overlooking the immaculate courtyards or have a view of the pool. You have the option of choosing a room with two (2) queen beds or a single king. The rooms are the same size, regardless of the one you choose and having 314 square feet; they are quite a bit larger than the standard rooms at the Disney Value Resorts.

Disney Port Orleans - French Quarter Reviews
Pros:
It feels as if you are walking around in New Orleans with beautiful gardens and water features. The colorful buildings add to the quaint feel. Jazz fills the air with sounds of the streets as if you were entering Mardi Gras. Our younger kids really liked the pool with the serpent Water Slide and the Splash park was awesome. Our older kids went up to the Pool at Riverside because that was a better fit for their age group. The staff is always friendly and helpful from the moment you arrive. The food is really good with a number of options that works for the adults and kids. We felt like this was one of the most peaceful Disney Resorts we have visited.
Cons:
Find out where you are staying on the property. Upgrading to the preferred rooms will get you closer to the main hall where the food and bus stops are. Some of the accommodations are a long walk from this area and can become difficult after a long stay. The pool is nice for small kids but our older kids got bored so they went up to the water park area at the Riverside resort next door (that was nice that they had somewhere else to go). I don't like that Disney is charging for parking at their resorts.
