Hi Karen!
Thanks for stopping by the Disney Parks Moms Panel with your question.
I'm excited to hear you'll be a guest at one of my family's favorite Walt Disney World Resort hotels. Disney's Port Orleans Resort is such a beautiful property, with comfortable rooms, great restaurants and awesome pools. One of our favorite features of the resort is the water transportation - a peaceful cruise down the Sassagoula River delivers you right into Disney Springs!
Disney's Port Orleans Resort is divided into two distinct sections: Port Orleans Riverside and Port Orleans French Quarter. You'll find a specialty store in each section of the resort, where you'll be able to purchase water and other sundries and souvenirs. In the Riverside section, you'll find
Fulton's General Store, and the French Quarter section is home to
Jackson Square Gifts and Desires. Your resort hotel room will have a small refrigerator that you can stock with water bottles, soda or juice.
You'll find vending and ice machines in the center of each building, and on every floor.
I hope this helps with your planning - have a magical vacation! - Diane W.
