Hiya Lindsay!
Welcome to planDisney!
I have good news for you!
Disney's Port Orleans Resort- French Quarter does provide you with complimentary towels at all their pools! This is just one of those things provided at all Walt Disney World Resort Hotels for their guests that I love. I am all about transforming into a towel monster at the pool after a quick dip and then reading for a few hours. The kids play with my husband in the water while I catch up on my never-ending list of books that I want to read. It's just fabulous. The best part is that when you are done, there is a bin where you can drop them off! (No silly, not the kids-the towels!) The slide at
Doubloon Lagoon has an amazing slide that my kids love. It's not very scary but thrilling enough for anyone. Did you know that you can also use the pool at
Disney's Port Orleans Resort-Riverside? This is one of the few Resorts on property where guests can visit another Resort to explore their pool! The slide at Ol' Man Island is much bigger than the one at Disney's Port Orleans Resort-French Quarter and you should definitely check it out!
If you ever find that you need more luggage space for your return trip, many merchandise locations do provide options to have your purchased items shipped home! I recently purchased a giant figurine set as a gift for my friend that would never fit in my luggage. Cast Members right at the register arranged for it to be shipped home and within a week it made it! It was super easy and quick and a great way to avoid any extra luggage fees.
I hope this helps and you have a lovely time!
Happy Planning!
