    Hi again! Can we drive from Animal Kingdom Lodge to French Quarter to eat at their food court? Wasn't sure security would let us pass the gate. We are also DVC members, if that helps any.

    Jambo, Tami!

    Welcome home! And welcome back to planDisney!

    Thank you for stopping by with another question about your upcoming trip to Walt Disney World. I love helping fellow Disney Vacation Club Members plan their perfect trips to Disney Destinations around the world. My family and I have been enjoying the flexibility of our membership for several years, and we always say we wish we had joined sooner.

    How exciting that you will be making Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge your home away from home tomorrow. I hope you have a safe journey to The Most Magical Place on Earth!

    Tami, I reached out to a helpful Cast Member who confirmed that you are unable to park at Disney’s Port Orleans Resort French Quarter without a dining reservation. My advice would be to take the bus from Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge to Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park, which is just around the corner, and then transfer to the Port Orleans bus from there.

    Why not make the most of your visit by taking Walt Disney World Water Transportation from French Quarter over to Disney Springs? From there, you can hop on a bus back to your resort. If you do visit Disney Springs, I highly recommend one of my favourite snacks. The Made-To-Order Artisan S’mores from The Ganachery are definitely too good to share!

    I hope this helps answer your question, Tami, and I hope you have the best time on your vacation at Walt Disney World. If you have any more questions about your membership or vacation planning, please reach out to me. I'd love to help!

    Have a magical day,
    Matt
