Hey there, Shelley!
Welcome to planDisney. We're delighted you've dropped by with a terrific
Walt Disney World Resort vacation planning question! Your trip to The Most Magical Place on Earth is just
days away. Soon, you'll be arriving under the stately porte-cochère at
Disney's Port Orleans Resort - French Quarter, Shelley. (I can practically smell the beignets just imagining your arrival!) I'm here to help you prepare for a splendid stay at your Disney Resort hotel.
I can completely understand wanting to pack lightly, Shelley. How else could you get souvenirs and snacks home from your magical vacation!? (Pro tip: Pack a sturdy food storage container to fill with sweet treats during your visit. It'll make transporting your Mickey-shaped snacks a breeze. For me, Disney snacks make for an easier transition when I re-enter the "real world" after a Walt Disney World Resort vacation!) Shelley, I'm happy to share that, at this time, these standard amenities are available in rooms at Disney's Port Orleans Resort - French Quarter:
- Hairdryer
- Free WiFi service
- In-room safe
- Telephone with voicemail capabilities
- Coffee maker (Cuisinart with coffee and tea pods [also supplied])
- Iron & ironing board
- Beverage cooler
Shelley, take note that the
Doubloon Lagoon pool is scheduled for refurbishment during your visit. However, you're welcome to make a splash at
Ol' Man Island, a sprawling pool complex located at Disney's Port Orleans Resort - Riverside, and one of my son's favorite pools on property! The resorts are located just a short, scenic walk away from one another and are connected by a path that winds along the stunning Sassagoula River.
I hope these details help you to feel prepared for your upcoming Walt Disney World Resort vacation, Shelley. I wish you a trip filled with wonder and enchantment (and beignets)! If you have any more questions before or during your vacation, you're always welcome to revisit us at
planDisney. We're here to help you make the most of your time at The Most Magical Place on Earth!
See ya real soon,
Lauren
