    Hi! Sorry if this has already been asked in here but basically I’m staying at Port Orleans from the 28th of March to the 13th of April and I’m wondering if I can use the gyms at other resorts despite staying at Port Orleans?

    Greetings, Joe, and welcome to planDisney! Plank you for stopping by with your question!

    First of all, let me just say that when I go to Walt Disney World, the only thing I'm lifting is a DOLE Whip to my mouth! That being said, I truly admire your dedication. It's awesome that you want to stay strong like Luisa, even on vacation!

    As you already know, neither Disney's Port Orleans Resort - Riverside nor Disney's Port Orleans Resort - French Quarter offers its own gym. And unfortunately, amenities at Disney Resorts Collection hotels are intended for registered hotel guests only. I know this isn't the answer you were hoping to hear, but don't give up hope! This just means we'll have to find another way for you to go the distance! As Phil would tell you, "Giving up is for rookies!"

    Joe, Disney World resorts offer lots of amenities and benefits, but you'll typically only find gyms at deluxe resort hotels. The one exception to this is Disney's Coronado Springs Resort, which is home to the La Vida Health Club Fitness Center. I know you're just a few weeks from your stay, but if fitness is a priority, it might be worth calling the Disney Resort Hotel Reservations line to see if switching resorts is an option. 

    Now, if you can't (or don't want to) switch your Disney resort, there is still a way to burn some calories at Port Orleans - Riverside and Port Orleans - French Quarter. These sprawling resorts offer beautiful grounds and meandering trails that are perfect for a morning run! In my experience, mornings in March tend to be cool and pleasant - the ideal time for a jog along the glittering Sassagoula River!

    I hope this information is helpful, Joe, and that you enjoy every moment of your upcoming Disney vacation! If you have any other planning questions, you know where to find me right here at planDisney!

    See ya real soon,

    Allison
