This is a welcome expansion! My wife loved having a nice glass of wine at Scat Cat’s when she popped back from the parks early one night. And I’m always up for some fun live Dixieland Jazz.

They are using the former BonFamilles area, I think someone said?

makes me wonder though if it will be themed to the location? or another new bland generic establishment that does not fit. they ruined the food court here as it is...

This for Princess and the Frog, instead of Reflections.

Is this the nail in the coffin for Bonfamille's? Probably would be for a TSR at French Quarter too then, I'd imagine.

Well it’s been closed for nearly two decades. I feel like that coffin was sealed a long time ago.

I feel bad for people who will be missing those entertainers, but I think moving the lounge out of the lobby will be a nice change. That said, I do wish this resort would get a table service restaurant.

agree, really loved it when they use to serve breakfast. Now or for years now really, they just want everyone congregated into the ugly food court as mass hordes to save on operation costs.

Maybe the demand just wasn't there for a table service restaurant at POFQ as well. I've never been to that food court so I can't comment on how visually appealing it is. Never managed to get over there when I was at POR sadly.

Finally! Scat Cats is too small and gets packed quickly when the band is in. Also having more dining at this resort with an adult feel is an added bonus though I am still sad to see Bonfamille's shuttered.

I don’t think it’s ugly. It used to have disembodied heads hanging from the ceiling but they removed them.

Looking forward to seeing the added space and enjoying the good sound of Jazz. We're coming home soon POFQ !!! Love those Beignets with the added toppings.

Aristocats character meal being considered?

Bring back Elliot Dyson. He said my dad was his "brother from another mother". Something tells me he says that to a lot of people though.

I enjoy Scat Cats. As long as they don't strip it down like they did Sassagoula, this sounds like a welcome addition.

Totally agree. Live band in NOLA style is welcome in our books.

When you think of New Orleans especially the French Quarter, Music plays a huge part of your memories and imagination. Therefore live music should be a big part of the bar, lobby and restaurants! It's imperative for the overall theme!
BTW am I the only person that thinks the "Royal rooms" are better suited for only Riverside so the Haunted Mansion rooms can be a thing and only be found in the most fabulously haunted streets of the French Quarter!
Just me?

My nomination for the FQ band is Tuba Skinny. Sample...
