Reported from the POFQ site:
As I indicated last week, the Port Orleans French Quarter lobby has now re-opened for guest use after its refurbishment. The plan was to transition services back today (Friday) and be fully open by Monday, but it looks as if the work is pretty much complete now.
It looks very nice, with a fabulous new patterned tiled floor which looks perfectly in keeping with rest of the room. The desks are now dark wood with accented highlight panels along the upper edge in the new two-person 'pod' style so CMs can come out to interact with guests. The effect is more of a subtle change than the recent Riverside update, as the French Quarter desks were already dark wood.
The lovely backdrop behind the main desk area remains, as do the paintings, but on the sad side, the "When the Saints..." music notes are gone.
There's also new rug/carpeting and sofas in the TV area, and new golden queue stanchions.
Now that the lobby refurbishment at Port Orleans French Quarter is complete, entertainment offerings at Scat Cat’s Lounge will resume on Friday, July 19.
Musician Tom Casey will join Scat Cat’s Lounge, performing a dynamic blend of piano and jazz vocals. Tom has previously performed at a variety of venues across the Walt Disney World Resort, including providing vacation cover for French Quarter's previous resident musician, Elliot Dyson.
Performances will take place Friday through Monday at 8:30pm, 9:30pm and 10:30pm. There are no performances scheduled on Tuesdays, Wednesdays or Thursdays.

If it were this guy, we'd never get my DS to leave! Seriously, though, I am glad they will have some entertainment in the evening. It is creepy to be there in the evening and you can hear the crickets chirping. It is supposed to be a representation of NO at Mardi Gras, after all. (Albeit a very toned down and family friendly versionThis guy?
).

I missed this thread last year...it's funny...I still remember sitting there where the TV is and that vase as a young kid and playing with these little blocks they had their while my parents checked in for our first trip to Disney.
It's been quite a few years...and that is one memory that is still crystal clear.

We gave the new guy a shot. He wasn't terrible. In a bit of synchronicity, we happened to catch him playing "Folsom Prison Blues". That was the song Elliot used to play for me.
