Hi Ceinwen! Welcome to planDisney!
Oh boy! I am so excited about your upcoming stay at
Disney's Port Orleans Resort - French Quarter. One of my favorite things about the Disney Resorts Collection hotels is how well themed each one is. I love how each resort transports you to a different area of the world. Not to mention the cuisine is always spot on. French Quarter encompasses all of this but is even more amplified! The lobby and grounds make you feel as if you have entered New Orleans and Mardi Gras is fully underway.
I usually cannot go on a trip without purchasing a new Disney refillable resort mug. There have been some new designs released recently which include a few new designs to commemorate the
50th Anniversary Celebration. At each resort, you will be able to use the mug to pour yourself a non-alcoholic drink at any beverage islands located at the quick service locations.
Sassagoula Floatworks and Food Factory is the dining location at the French Quarter and is the only place on this property to be able to refill your mug. There is no other option to do so anywhere else. Luckily, this resort is smaller than its sister property,
Disney's Port Orleans Resort - Riverside. You should be able to access the Food Factory rather easily.
While you are staying there, make sure to find your way over to
Scat's Cat Club and try the delicious beignets that are sold there. There are options for both the little ones and the parents, including alcoholic-infused beignets that are out-of-this-world! I have made a few trips to this resort just to solely order them.
Ceinwen, I hope you have an amazing stay on your upcoming trip!
See ya real soon!
Greg
