    Hi Where can my daughter get her hair braided with cotton thread? We are staying at Disney port Orleans French side?

    Hiya Laura!

    Welcome to planDisney! I see here that you have already arrived at the Parks and are ready to enjoy every minute. 

    I believe what you are looking for is hair wrapping which is when a colorful cotton thread is wrapped around a thin cluster of hair to create a fun design. Sometimes beads can be added in as well! Now, I contacted multiple Cast Members and did quite a bit of research and it appears that the location of these hair wrap stations keeps changing! They are actually a third-party vendor and their location fluctuates based on their staffing and availability. I did find out that one Cast Member who spoke with confidence stated that for sure they will be located at Disney's Art of Animation Resort and Disney's Pop Century Resort only at this time. The stands will be located just outside of the main pool areas and can be accessed by Resort guests who are not staying on-site. The operating hours may change but they are currently scheduled to be open from 11 AM to 7 PM.

    Now, I would not give up hope that it may not appear at your Resort and I would make sure that Disney's Port Orleans French Quarter has a hair wrap station or not. Speak to the Cast Members and they should know the day of. You may also see if it is posted on the Recreation board usually located near the Pool area. If they will not be appearing I would consider taking a trip to Disney's Art of Animation Resort or Disney's Pop Century Resort and head towards the pool area. Don't forget that these Resorts can be accessed by Disney Skyliner! Since you are not a Resort guest you cannot enter the Pool area but it's ok as you only need to just be outside of the gated Pool deck space. 

    Get your little girl's hair wrapped and may I suggest stopping by Landscape of Flavors at Disney's Art of Animation for some Tandoor Chicken or a classic American dish of Shrimp and Grits after.

    I'm sorry I don't have more exact news but since the COVID closures it has not returned to exactly what it was before. I do hope your daughter gets a chance to get her hair wrapped!

    Have a magical time!
