Thoughts on Port Orleans French Quarter?

[LindseyDisney]

Hey everyone! We're considering a trip to Disney at the beginning of November for a week and would love to hear your experiences or thoughts on Port Orleans French Quarter. I've stayed at Riverside before but didn’t get to check out the French Quarter (or try the beignets!!? WHAT!? Or the piano player) I’m also excited to go to both Christmas parties. Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party and Jollywood Nights. Any tips or recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

The plan is to rope drope and see Christmas.

It is, hands down, my favorite Disney resort. I've stayed at all levels of Disney properties and I LOVE POFQ. I have stayed there more often than any of the others. It is small, quiet, compact, one bus stop and has the boat to DS. I love the landscaping (magnolia trees everywhere! ) and the architecture, as well as the brick walkways.

stayed there a few times. last time in 2022. it’s a great resort. as mentioned, it’s small & compact. very quiet also. the boat transportation to DS is very relaxing. good food options, & beignets. we’ve stayed in building 4 with a corner room king bed & it was a great location. seconds away from the food court & a very short walk to the lobby & bus stop.

I have stayed there multiple times, all during the 2000s, so probably some has changed (new lounge, etc), but the charming streets and the feeling of being in the French Quarter (without the nightclubs!) is one of my happy places in my mind.

I love it. I stayed there in 2019 and it's just such a nice, compact resort. The trails are great for running and they had a 5k fun run on Sundays that was like $40 and you got beads and mardi gras stuff as well as an order of beignets. Love the boat access to Disney Springs and Riverside is super close for a walk if you want sit down dining or a change of view. If it had skyliner access I think it'd be the perfect resort.

Port orleans is easily the best moderate resort and it’s second only to wilderness lodge in terms of coziness 10/10 would highly recommend
