Hi
Julie! Congratulations on your return visit to the Walt Disney World Resort! By the way, you've picked a winner!
Disney's Port Orleans French Quarter (POFQ) is an absolute gem in the moderately priced resort category. Featuring the exceptionally themed pool Doubloon Lagoon, POFQ consists of seven three-story guest-room buildings adjacent to the Sassagoula River. Most guest-rooms in POFQ are within easy walking distance of the resort's main facilities. However, Buildings 2 & 5 are the closest to Doubloon Lagoon, making it an ideal location for families traveling with children. For a quiet room in these two buildings, ask for the second or third floor. Take a look at
Disney's Port Orleans French Quarter map. Buildings 1, 6, and 7 are a moderate walk from the resort's main facilities. Consider booking a Water View Room. However, be
very specific to request a River View Room
. The best views are of the pristine river bank opposite the Sassagoula River. I would recommend Building 5 room blocks 5117-5122, 5217-5222, or 5317-5322. If you want a quieter area, and don't mind a longer walk to the resort's main facilities, then I would suggest Building 7 room blocks 7141-7148, 7241-7248, or 7341-7348. You may ask for a River View Room in any of these room blocks, but there is no guarantee your request will be met. To cover all the bases, call Resort Reservations at (
407) 939-7429, contact the resort directly at (407) 934-5000, and fax your request to (407) 934-5353. Cast Members will try to accommodate you based on the resort's occupancy, and other factors, at the time of your arrival. Please let me know if I can be of further assistance. Have a memorable stay at Disney's Port Orleans French Quarter!
