Hi Sarah!
Welcome back to
planDisney!
The overall guideline for parking at the
Walt Disney World Resorts is that only Walt Disney World Resort Hotel Guests, who are either staying or dining at the resort, are allowed to park at the resort. If you want to visit
Disney's Port Orleans Riverside or
Disney's Port Orleans Resort - French Quarter, the water taxi is a great option. You can park at
Disney Springs and take the
water taxi to Disney's Port Orleans Resort.
The water taxi linking Port Orleans Riverside and Port Orleans French Quarter to Disney Springs begins at 10am daily and continues until 11pm everyday, with the last boat back from Disney Springs departing at around 11:30pm. If you are planning to stay at Disney's Port Orleans Resort past 11pm, you may want to consider parking at the resort. While this is generally reserved for Guests only, you can inform the Cast Member at the gate that you are there to visit
Yeeha Bob Jackson at River Roost Lounge. Since reservations are not required for this location, you won't need those in advance and the Cast Member should allow you through the gate to park at the resort.
While you are visiting in November, you won't want to miss the holiday celebration at Disney Springs. This year they had hundreds of decorated Christmas trees and I had so much fun walking around and admiring them.
I hope you have a magical vacation!
Magically,
Stacy
