Hello Sara and welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel where it's always an extra pleasure for me to help a fellow British Guest with their magical plans to visit Walt Disney World Resort!
I'm so excited to know you will be staying in the beautiful
Disney's Port Orleans Resort - French Quarter, this delightful Resort is filled with the romance and jazz heritage of New Orleans and for an evening of music & fun I highly recommend you seek out
Yehaa Bob Jackson at River Roost Lounge at the neighbouring
Port Orleans Resort - Riverside.
Chef Mickey's is most everyones favourite Disney Character dining experience and I believe it will make the perfect beginning to your Disney holiday.
When using the complimentary Disney Resort transportation I usually suggest allowing up to 1 hour travel time and as in this
Frequently Asked Questions - Transportation, Resort buses generally operate 45 minutes
prior to Theme Park opening and for up to 1 hour after closing. All current
Park Hours & Calendars can be viewed via this link.
Hiring the services of a taxi is a great idea, especially for 1st thing in the morning! The easiest way to organise one is by speaking to a helpful Cast Member at
Bell Services (which is located in the lobby area of each Resort hotel) who will, on your behalf arrange a taxi pick-up from a Disney authorised taxi cab company.
