Disney’s Port Orleans Resort — French Quarter has been getting some updates recently, and we are excited to take you along to see some of the changes!

This New Orleans inspired resort is full of Mardi Gras spirit year-round, and we are taking you all along with us as we stay in a newly renovated room!

Disney’s Port Orleans Resort — French Quarter has been getting some upgrades to its rooms recently. Construction began in May 2024 and is expected to conclude in November 2024. Buildings 1 and 2 are now officially refurbished and we are fortunate to be able to get to stay in one of these BRAND-NEW rooms!

Port Orleans Resort — French Quarter is a moderate resort hotel that is inspired by New Orleans’s historic French Quater. The hotel is loaded with Mardi Gras spirit all year long and features a Mardi Gras-themed pool, jazz club, and even horse-drawn carriage rides! You can also stroll along the Sassagoula River to its sister resort, Port Orleans Resort — Riverside or enjoy a boat ride to Disney Springs.

The resort has been working on upgrading some of its rooms for the past few months, and we are excited to be able to give you a first look at the new rooms. So far, just Buildings 1 and 2 have completed their refurb, with Building 2 just opening to guests yesterday, September 29th. So, let’s take a look inside these new rooms!

Our room had two beds in it, and we love the gorgeous detailing above the beds and on the bathroom door. The beds are made with white sheets and a pop of orange from the throw pillows. We even got our very own Mickey towel to welcome us into the room!

The beds have a gorgeous pattern above them, and we love the calming green color. The pattern features instruments such as drums and a trumpet. The throw pillow adds the perfect pop of color. On either side of the bed, there is also a personal light.

Here is a closer look at the light! We love this added feature so you can have a light if you want to read or something else before bed without needing to have on a room light.

On the other side of the room, there is a small seating area and a dresser. Above the dresser is the TV. There were two pieces of gorgeous artwork featuring Princess Tiana, Prince Naveen, and Louis. 

We loved the artwork scattered throughout the room, including this beautiful art featuring Charlotte La Bouff dancing to a band.

We loved seeing a new plug on the dresser as well. This plug has two normal outlets, as well as a HDMI port, USB-C, and USB plug. There are lots of things to charge nowadays, so it was nice to see a large plug on the dresser.

The room also comes with “Hey Disney!” which is a voice assistant experience that has been created specifically for guests of Disney World hotels. “Hey Disney!” can help with all sorts of things including ordering you more towels, telling jokes, and waking you up with a message from Mickey Mouse and pals.

At the far end of the dresser, you will find a drink station where you can make your tea and coffee. This is also where the ice bucket is stored. The drink area is decorated with a fun background of brick and wrought iron, with Mardi Gras beads draped over. 

You will also find a mini fridge below the drink station which can be stocked with your favorite drinks and snacks.

These rooms also have an updated thermostat that is easy to read and adjust so you can select the perfect temperature.

Now let’s take a look inside the bathroom! We were excited to see lots of storage space in the bathroom and double sinks. We also loved the tiling details in the bathroom!

There is a door that can be closed that separates the shower and toilet area from the sink area of the bathroom. The shower is a walk-in shower.

You will also find shampoo, conditioner, and body wash available inside the shower.

The toilet is located right next to the shower. It is a little tight in this area, but there is still plenty of space to move around!

The main bathroom area has a wonderful mirror that can be moved around to help you get ready.

There is more storage available next to the sink area too! 

So far, we are really liking the newly refurbished room at Port Orleans Resort – French Quarter. While only two buildings are completed so far, we are hoping to see even more rooms get renovated.
