Hello Lessie,
Welcome to planDisney! My sister and I stayed at
Disney's Port Orleans Resort - Riverside just last fall, so you bet we made a trip over to get a few beignets from
Disney's Port Orleans Resort - French Quarter and they were amazing. I completely understand your desire to fit them into your visit.
Yes, you can definitely take the complimentary water taxi to Disney's Port Orleans Resort - French Quarter, even if you are not a Guest of the resort. Once you get there, venture over to
Scat Cat's Club - Café for all the Mickey-shaped beignets you care to enjoy.
If you have the time, I also suggest one of the many
recreational activities you'll find at the resort. Personally, I prefer the romance of a
horse-drawn carriage ride along the Sassagoula River at the neighboring Disney's Port Orleans Resort - Riverside.
Enjoy your beignet adventure, Lessie, and please let us know if there is anything else we can help you with.
Magical Wishes,
Lauren
