Hi Kelly. Thank you for reaching out to planDisney with your question.
So you are staying at
Disney's Port Orleans Resort - French Quarter? Kelly, that is so very exciting! While I have not yet stayed at this particular resort, I
have stayed at its sister resort,
Disney's Port Orleans Resort - Riverside. Not only that, I've visited French Quarter a few times. I mean, that's where the beignets are...and I
always go wherever the beignets are! While you are there, please make sure to visit either
Scat Cat's Club - Café or
Scat Cat's Club - Lounge. Really, it all comes down to what type of experience you want...because both result in beignets. The Café will allow you to order beignets on the go while the Lounge is where you can order food and drinks while listening to some amazing live jazz music.
I just confirmed with a friendly Cast Member what I was pretty sure was true: at this time, there are no resort fees at this resort or any of the
Disney Resort Collection Hotels. You will be charged taxes like any other hotel in the area, but those are usually disclosed when you book the resort.
Kelly, I really hope you enjoy your time at Disney's Port Orleans Resort - French Quarter. If you have time, you can walk over to the sister resort, Disney's Port Orleans Resort - Riverside. You can also take a
water taxi from your resort to
Disney Springs and back. Just check the operating times but this is one of my favorite ways to travel. The ride is relaxing and this convenient transportation option gives you access to all the dining options at Disney Springs. And the best part? You don't need to pay admission to visit this lively restaurant and shopping district.
Feel free to
reach out again with any questions you may have in the future. We are always happy to help!
If you do your best each and every day, good things are sure to come your way,
Matt
