    Hello. We will be staying at Port Orleans French Quarter in October and wanted to do a carriage ride. Are we able to start at Riverside and end at French Quarter? Many thanks

    Hi, Elaine! Welcome to planDisney.

    Disney's Port Orleans Resort - French Quarter is such a charming spot! October is a "practically perfect" time to experience it, too. It’s the smallest of the Disney resorts, which makes it feel extra cozy and easy to get around. Plus, you can’t stay there without grabbing some Mickey-shaped beignets from Scat Cat’s Club - Lounge or Café. They’re warm, sugary perfection (and yes, they taste even better when you cover yourself in powdered sugar).

    The carriage ride takes you on a charming, 25-minute journey starting at Disney's Port Orleans - Riverside. You’ll trot along the Sassagoula River, pass by the quaint streets of French Quarter, and wind through the beautiful resort grounds before making your way back to Riverside. Unfortunately, they can’t be scheduled to start at Riverside and drop you off at French Quarter. But no worries! Riverside is just a quick and pretty walk or boat ride away, so it’s easy to get between the two.

    Here’s a little tip: if you do the carriage ride in the evening, the lanterns along the path make it feel extra magical. And after your ride, hop back over to French Quarter for a nightcap at Scat Cat's Club - Lounge.
