Hi there, Andrea, thank you for bringing me this question today. I hope I can help make your holiday practically perfect in every way!
It won’t be long until you’re strolling along the banks of the Sassagoula River at
Port Orleans Resort - French Quarter, stopping off for some southern hospitality at
Scat Cat's Club-Lounge!
I’m pleased to share that, while it’s not guaranteed, Cast Members go to infinity and beyond to grant Guests' room requests! You can request a specific room type during your online check-in on your
My Disney Experience app or by contacting the
Disney Resort Hotel Reservations number to make the request. When you arrive at your home-away-from-home for your holiday, be sure to stop by the Front Desk to confirm your request as well.
When it comes to
Lightning Lane passes, Andrea, you've come to the right place! My family loves every single ride, our favourites being
TRON Lightcycle / Run and
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, so Lightning Lane passes help us check off all of our favourites! As you are staying at the lovely Port Orleans - French Quarter resort, you can book your Lightning Lane passes 7 days in advance, once you arrive in the US. To purchase them, simply log in to your
My Disney Experience app, and payment will be taken from the payment card linked to your
My Disney Account.
Top Tip: If you’re looking for a unique experience at Port Orleans, hop aboard a
Horse-Drawn Carriage at the Riverside Levee Marina. It’s such a lovely way to relax and explore the resort.
I hope you have the most wonderful stay in July, Andrea, and create memories to last a lifetime.
If you have any more questions, you always have a friend in me at
planDisney.
Sending faith, trust, and pixie dust,
Abi
