Resort Review: Port Orleans French Quarter | Disney's Most Charming Moderate?
from Wanderlust & Wishes · host Julie & Krystle
The random resort picker is taking us to New Orleans this week! On this Resort Review episode, we're checking into Disney's Port Orleans Resort – French Quarter, one of the smallest, most charming, and maybe most underrated resorts at Walt Disney World.French Quarter doesn't have the Skyliner. You can't walk to a theme park. There's no table-service restaurant, Club Level, or sprawling list of amenities. And yet, this little Moderate Resort has a seriously loyal following.So what makes people love it so much?We're unpacking everything French Quarter, from its incredibly compact layout and New Orleans-inspired atmosphere to the boat ride to Disney Springs, Doubloon Lagoon, dining, rooms, transportation, and, of course, those Mickey-shaped beignets.We'll talk about why being a smaller resort may actually be French Quarter's biggest advantage, how it compares to Port Orleans Riverside and Disney's other Moderate Resorts, and why this might be one of the easiest resorts to recommend to someone who wants Disney magic without feeling like they have to hike across their resort just to refill a drink.We'll also get into who we think French Quarter is perfect for, who should probably stay somewhere else, and whether it deserves its reputation as one of Walt Disney World's hidden gems.Resort Reviews is our weekly bonus series from Wanderlust and Wishes, where we're making our way through the Walt Disney World resorts in completely random order. No rankings determining who goes first and no playing favorites. Just one resort at a time and our take on what you really need to know before you book.Support the showConnect with us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wanderlustandwishespodcastFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/wanderlustandwishespodcastFor interest in vacation planning email us at: [email protected] fill out this quote request form: https://forms.gle/ZmN8C2akheQabF7B7
