Disney's Port Orleans consists of both Riverside and the French Quarter.They both offer great amenities and you can check the pros and cons for each resort HERE.

Port Orleans French Quarter features great theming throughout the resort that allows guests to feel as though they are in the middle of a Mardi Gras parade.

There is so much to absolutely love about Port Orleans French Quarter, with the great theming, Scat Cat's Lounge, and delicious beignets. Many guests not staying at the resort visit the lobby just for the beignets and fun Louisiana vibe.

Port Orleans French Quarter Refurbishment

Disney's Port Orleans French Quarter has undergone a HUGE transformation over the past year. All Resort rooms received a big (and frankly much-needed) overhaul. The work started in May 2024 and took several months to complete. See full pictures of this transformation HERE.

The guest-favorite, Scat Cat Lounge, closed for refurbishment briefly and a large refurbishment closed the feature Doubloon Lagoon Pool for several months.

Now, additional refurbishment work is announced for Disney's Port Orleans French Quarter.
