Welcome to planDisney, Heather!
Can you believe that your Walt Disney World Resort vacation is less than one month away? If we're being honest, I'm likely
almost as excited as you are about your upcoming visit because it involves two of my favorite Walt Disney World Resort locations:
Disney's Port Orleans Resort - Riverside and
The BOATHOUSE.
As a Georgian married to a native of Louisiana, I can honestly say that Disney's Port Orleans Resorts feel like home. The immersive theming is so well done that one can't help but want to linger and stroll through the grounds, but if you must leave the tranquility of Riverside or French Quarter behind, then a
cruise down the Sassagoula River is the
practically perfect way to do so.
This 15 to 20-minute breezy journey from Disney's Port Orleans Resort - Riverside will take you past the colorful rows of
Disney's Port Orleans Resort - French Quarter before arriving at
Disney Springs. It's important to keep in mind that while the river cruise will only take about a quarter of an hour, you should also factor in about 10 to 15 minutes in case one of these popular boats reaches capacity before you're able to board and you need to wait for another to arrive.
As a bonus tip: If you're in the mood for some Mickey-shaped beignets or a Café au Lait before brunch, I encourage you to stop by
Scat Cat's Club - Café at Disney's Port Orleans Resort- French Quarter.
I hope this information was helpful, Heather, and that your upcoming vacation is filled with magical memories. If you are in need of additional assistance as you finalize your plans, feel free to
stop back by. I'm always happy to help!
Thinking Happy Thoughts,
Lizzie
