Disney's Port Orleans Resort - French Quarter

If you are looking for the fully immersive Disney experience then look no further. Port Orleans has it all. Great food, entertainment, transport links and amenities. It ticks all the boxes. As yearly Disney visitors we’ve stayed at a number of resorts on property and this remains a firm favourite. For the price you can’t go wrong!

Another fantastic stay here. I requested building 4 as it is super close to the bus stops and food court for drinks we were however given building 7 this is almost as far away as you can be however it still only took less than 5 minutes to walk so it was no problem at all. I think all the rooms have or are closed to be updated so they all look fantastic. Resort for nice and quiet and is very centrally located. Buses were decent when we used them the boat was also good although very crowded and hot. Will be back in September!

The wife and I spent 5 nights at POFQ in early May to do an adults trip. We had stayed there around 14 years ago with our son, and remembered that we liked the smallness of it and location was good for EPCOT and MK. We also had read the rooms were updated and that was a draw, they were which was why I almost gave it a 5 star. The room was so freshly updated it smelled pleasantly of fresh paint. The renovation to new furniture, updated bathroom, USB ports in several spots, raised bed for easy luggage storage, hard surface flooring as opposed to carpet were all well thought out and imagineered. The bed was comfortable and a/c worked really well. The shower water pressure was also good and we always love a double sink. There is plenty of storage too. We had a corner room and the morning light was great, the hot tub and main building was right across the street from us. Zero complaints about the room. The resort had some good points as well. The pool area was large for a small resort and we never had a problem finding a lounger. The pool bar was great! The regular day and evening bartenders were very friendly and knowledgeable about lots of things Disney. The frozen Irish Coffee was my favorite and reminded me of Molly’s on the Market’s version in NOLA. The hot tub area had a lot of debris in it, and I feel like could have been better maintained. Also, I think they should keep the last hour open as adults only as younger kids were in there until close every night and took up the whole tub. The food court area was just okay. We realize they have to mass produce food so our expectations were not super high. However, if they promote authentic food they have some work to do. The bread for po boys is way too dense and soft. The beignets were just donuts with powdered sugar on them, very bready. The beef po boy has almost no gravy and that’s what makes the sandwich. The fries and basic breakfast options were good (when warm) tho, and we always found something to eat that did the trick. The drinks area was good, although they could use a second ice machine. The inside bar was hit or miss. The advertised music didn’t happen a couple nights. We had one great server, one disappeared for a long time and another who was just inattentive. The drinks were okay. The staff were all friendly as you would expect from Disney, although some seemed like they didn’t want to be there. Bus service worked well, and the video boards with ETA’s was fairly accurate. We wanted to take the boat to Disney Springs but both times they were not in service due to weather issues. If you need to get to a different resort, using an Uber is an efficient option. We had dinner at the Yacht Club one night and it cost like $8. Way worth it. We also cane back from the Polynesian via Uber after a monorail bar crawl. And it cost about the same.

As per the title, this was one of the best family holidays we have ever had, and a lot of this was down to this hotel. The hotel itself just had such a wonderful feel to it when we arrived. Whilst we were early and the room not quite ready, we were able to go grab some food and go and have a swim. The pool area is lovely, but probably could do with some more sun loungers. We weren't actually there that long, and our room was lovely. The rooms are not huge, but they are perfect for you need. They feel new and fresh and having the fan and ac is a blessing. The AC is probably a little bit old and quite noisy, so having the fan once the room is at the temp was great. The beds are also comfortable and being higher up means you can stick all your suitcases under them and create more space in the room. I am still a bit confused on the cleaning routine as we would get 3 or 4 days in a row of fresh towels, cleaning and then nothing for about the same. The resort is also a great size and all the transport either to the parks or Disney spring just works so well. We jump on a bus at another resort once and it just took ages. We loved being able to come back from the parks and jump in the pool in the afternoon. And being able to walk round the whole resort was lovely. The food in the QS was ok. Nothing special, but of course everyone goes there for the Beignets. These were awesome and made a perfect snack to share. We will definitely be back.

My husband and I stayed for 6 nights and 7 days. We had the most amazing stay. We loved the New Orleans style to the resort. We utilized the boats several times to go to Disney Springs and used the buses to take advantage of early access in the parks. We found the food at Sassagoula to be very good and reasonably priced. The beignets at Scat Cat were delicious. The pool area was very nice. Our only compliant is that we wish there were multiple hot tubs or that they had a bigger one as it was often filled with children and families would stay in a very long time.

1st part of my trip 10 nights was spent at Port Orleans French Quarter and I really enjoyed it. Loved the location found getting to the parks not long at all even animal kingdom. Stayed in a newly renovated room and thought it was great. Had everything we needed. Beds comfortable and considering this is a moderate resort so I expected to hear noise outside as people passed but it was so quiet. Stayed in 4316 which was a perfect spot for all the facilities and buses. Food is the same each day but I was off site for lunch every day and upgraded my dining plan to table service of an evening which makes all the difference and is worth the upgrade price in my opinion. However I still found the onsite restaurant to have a decent choice of options when needed. However I've been coming to Disney since 1998 I have a 30, 16 and 12 year old. As much as I still love it I feel it is becoming far too expensive. The fast passes being removed, que times high especially during school holidays. I've never been to Disney and experienced the parks so packed it was shoulder to shoulder. We purchased lighting lanes for all the parks for 4 of the days at an additional cost of roughly £350 for 3 on top of the £610 ticket price per person plus a ticket to get us on guardians. It no longer feels like a magical place and it's likely to be my last trip. Nothing magical about making my holiday each time more expensive and removing some of the things that made it a wonderful place to take my family.
