Hello there, Jennifer! We appreciate you taking the time to visit planDisney. You've asked a great question, so let's dive into the details!
I admit that my kids usually pick our Walt Disney World Resort hotel based on the quality of the pool; there are many unique choices! Generally speaking, pool hopping is frowned upon, with a few exceptions. Luckily, your situation just so happens to be one of those exceptions! Guests at both
Disney's Port Orleans Resort – French Quarter and
Disney's Port Orleans Resort – Riverside can use the pools at both resorts without issue. Make some waves riding through the mouth of the 51-foot-long snaking sea serpent waterslide at French Quarter's
Doubloon Lagoon. Then take the short walk over to the Riverside sister resort's
Ol' Man Island pool, fashioned to look straight out of a Tom Sawyer illustration. After all that splashtastic fun, treat yourself to a Hurricane cocktail at
Mardi Grogs or
Muddy Rivers Pool Bar.
Besides the pools, both resorts are known for their fun Recreation Activities. I'm happy to report the recent return of the
Sassagoula River Carriage Rides (you can call
60 days in advance to book) and Live Jazz Music at
Scat Cat's (grab some beignets while you're here).
We hope to see ya real soon, Jennifer!
