    Hi , I am an annual passenger and have a question about our visit in 3 weeks time . Are we still able to go to Scat Cats cafe at Port Orleans French Quarter without staying at the resort ? If so how do we get there if we are n longer able to use the boat

    Hey there, hi there, ho there, Catherine! You're as welcome as can be here at planDisney! How exciting that your visit is only three weeks away! I totally understand that the recent changes in Resort Transportation from Disney Springs made some plans go topsy-turvy, yet I'm happy to help you figure out how to get your yummy and oh so popular beignets. 

    It's true that bus and boat service from Disney Springs is only available to Guests staying at a Disney Resort hotel or visiting one with a valid dining or experience reservation. Since you want to go to Scat Cat's Club at Disney's Port Orleans Resort - French Quarter, which doesn't take reservations, if you also don't have an experience or hotel reservation at a Disney Resort hotel, you won't be able to use the complimentary transportation from Disney Springs. 

    You do have some options, though. Minnie Van service is available for an extra charge from Disney Springs. You could take one of these cute polka dotted vans to Port Orleans French Quarter for your beignets. Additionally, transportation from the four Disney theme parks is still available for Guests without a hotel, experience or dining reservation. You can take bus transportation from any of the four parks to Port Orleans French Quarter. 

    Catherine, I hope this has given you the information you need to chart your course to your beloved beignets. Have one for me while you're there. Please visit us again soon with any other planning questions you can think of.

    Grab hold of your dreams!
