Welcome to planDisney, Curtis! Your trip to the Most Magical Place on Earth is just around the riverbend!
Speaking of a riverbend,
Disney's Port Orleans - Riverside on the Sassagoula River is a great place to stay! I love the theming of this resort and all of its recreational activities. Ol’ Man Island pool, the catch-and-release fishing hole and Campfire on de' Bayou make for an incredible resort day or time to recharge between trips to the theme parks.
I also love its proximity to
Disney Springs for shopping and dining. And then there is
Disney's Port Orleans - French Quarter. I cannot imagine a trip to Port Orleans that did not include a stop at
Scat Cat Club - Cafe for beignets. As a guest of Port Orleans - Riverside, you can easily park at Port Orleans - French Quarter and enjoy the beignets or any of the resort amenities without any worry.
Now that I have food on my mind, I hope your trip includes the
EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival. Have you heard of the
Garden Graze Food Stroll? If you try 5 items from the specially curated menu, you get a special treat. There are so many tasty options, but the Seasonal Fruit Parfait with Sweet Chili Sauce and Mango DOLE Whip® at the Refreshment Outpost is my favorite. I will be at
Walt Disney World Resort this weekend for
runDisney Springtime Surprise Weekend, and I will be enjoying one of these as my race reward.
I hope your trip is sprinkled with magic and pixie dust! Please stroll back by
planDisney with any other questions.
Let the good times roll!
