In the last hotel in the moderate range, the Port Orleans Resort is the next installment in my Disney Hotel Series.
Port Orleans Resort opened in 1991 to reflect the architecture of New Orleans' French Quarter. In 2001, it was renamed Port Orleans French Quarter. It was then merged with Disney's Dixie Landings, which was renamed Port Orleans Riverside. This part of the resort was styled to represent an antebellum South, particularly along the mighty Mississippi River. It's two sections, Alligator Bayou and Magnolia Bend, were kept intact. This resort is located in the Downtown Disney section of the World.
Besides the Riverside Mill Food Court (Riverside) and Sassagoula Floatworks and Food Factory (French Quarter), the resort also have a sit-down service restaurant called Boatwright's Dining Hall. Each resort that comprises Port Orleans has its own music hall--Riverside has the ragtime club called River Roost while the French Quarter has a jazz club called Scat Cat's Club.
The resort also has Ol' Man Island, a recreational area that houses a pool hall, a playground, and Port Orleans' pool. It also features a fishing hole for those who wish to bond with their families while fishing.
Once again, I haven't been to this resort though my dad stayed at Riverside when it was still Dixie Landings. I had a Dixie Landings shirt for a few years until I outgrew it. I think I need to replace it with a Port Orleans' shirt.
