Hiya Valerie! Welcome to planDisney! It's always a pleasure getting the chance to talk with Guests from all over the world.
I'm excited you are staying at Disney's Port Orleans Resort - French Quarter! This is a dream resort of mine. I had the chance recently to stop by for a quick visit to try the Mickey beignets that can be found at
Scat Cat's Club. They are authentically delicious and always a must-try when staying here!
In regards to housekeeping, your room will undergo an extensive cleaning prior to your arrival. This will include new bed linens, steam cleaning the floors, and extra attention made to door handles and surfaces. During your 10-day visit, you can expect a light housekeeping service every other day, which pays close attention to garbage removal and towel replacement. Vacuuming will be done if needed and replenishment of amenities throughout the room. While the bed linens are not changed out during these cleanings, you can certainly make this request upon arrival. I suggest stopping by the front desk and speaking to a Cast Member to have them notify the
Housekeeping Service. While no requests are guaranteed, I have a great feeling that your wish will be granted!
One of my favorite aspects of staying at this resort is the
Watercraft service that you can take to Disney Springs. With the amount of shopping and dining options located here, having easy access to this destination is a perk. The boat ride is relaxing and can be considered an attraction all by itself. You can also take it to Disney's Port Orleans Resort - Riverside if you wanted to check out entertainment or dining options here. If you're lucky, Yeeha Bob Jackson may make an appearance at the River Roost Lounge at Port Orleans - Riverside. He has been a fixture at this location and always provides an entertaining way to spend your evening.
Valerie, I hope you have an amazing time during your holiday stay next year!
Happy planning!
Greg
