Hi, Cynthia! This is such a great week to be at The Most Magical Place on Earth, with
full patriotic fanfare planned all across the Resort. After I share pool information, I would like to let you in on some of the special events planned for this week to give you a taste of what's in store for your family! Remember that, as a guest of Disney's Port Orleans Resort - French Quarter, you are welcome to walk over to its sister resort, Disney's Port Orleans Resort - Riverside, and also enjoy all of the amenities there.
The
main feature swimming pool operating hours at both resorts are currently 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. The five quiet pools at Riverside are generally available at any time. There are daily activities planned by the pool, but I would like to share some special ones planned for July 4th.
At Doubloon Lagoon Pool:
1:00 p.m. Star Spangled Water Balloon Toss
1:30 p.m. Mickey Tie-Dye (extra cost)
3:00 p.m. Patriotic Pool Party
4:00 p.m. Red, White, and Blue Bingo
4:30 p.m. Watermelon Eating Contest
5:30 p.m. - 6:00 p.m. Stars and Stripes Scavenger Hunt
On the Lawn between Buildings 5 & 6:
6:00 p.m. Backyard Bash Lawn Games
6:30 p.m.- 8:30 p.m. All American Campfire
I also hear the "Yee Ha" Bob Jackson will be playing at Riverside's River Roost Lounge during all of the 4th of July festivities. If you do plan to visit that resort, here are their July 4th activities:

12:00 p.m. - 12:30 p.m. Watermelon Eating Contest
