Disney's
Port Orleans Resort French Quarter, a re-creation of the streets and
rowhouses of New Orleans' French Quarter, opens at 2201 Orleans Drive in
Walt Disney World. The Downtown Disney area resort offers 432 guest
rooms in 3 buildings (the room count will increase to 1,008 when
construction on the remaining 4 buildings is completed). Also opening is
the Sassagoula Floatworks and Food
Factory food court, Jackson Square Gifts and Desires shop, and
Bonfamille's Cafe restaurant. (In 2001 it will be renamed Port Orleans
Resort when it is merged with Dixie Landings Resort.)
Disney's Port Orleans Resort – French Quarter has been designated by the
Florida Green Lodging Program, recognizing the Resort's environmentally
responsible practices.
I stayed at this resort on my first visit to ever actually stay on Disney property........from that point on, I would do nothing else but stay on property!!! This resort holds fond memories for me. As we will be staying at its sister resort, Port Orleans Riverside in October....we will definitely be taking a stroll over to the "big easy" section for a tour...and to get some wonderful pastries!
The food court at this location, Sassagoula Float Works, has to be one of the best as far as ambiance (and the food is very good too!) Look up at the ceiling, and check everything out. I still remember all the interesting things that this location has to see. Fun, fun fun!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY PORT ORLEANS FRENCH QUARTER!!
