Top line: A solid, picturesque option for moderate resorts at Disney World. It's worth noting that I've stayed at all levels of Disney resorts - from Art of Animation to Coronado to Old Key West to Yacht Club. Every room I've stayed in has been quiet, clean and comfortable. So it's hard to go truly wrong on a basic level. But there are differences in size, in small creature comforts, in amenities. Port Orleans French Quarter is the cleanest, most "Disney" version of New Orleans you'll ever see. It wins in its small size - it's an easy walk from any building to the main building/restaurant/pool/bar and there's only one bus stop, plus a boat dock that will take you to Disney Springs. That might be a downside for others - though it's an easy ride over to Riverside if you want a bigger pool, more dining options, etc. I stayed with two other women (my two best friends) in a double queen room. We were lucky to get a first floor room, and were in building 1 near the parking lot. The beds were comfortable and there was enough space to move around, but it's not a BIG room for three people. I definitely wouldn't cram four adults in one of these unless you were desperate. The theming is subtle and the beds and pillows were comfortable. Do note also that there is no room for a cot/rollaway bed, so no sticking one kid on a cot or making it work for a fifth person. I will always, always wish for bigger towels at hotels. These were fluffy and absorbent but they sure don't fit around your body well. Ditto the pool towels - give me BIG pool towels! The atmosphere is charming, the coffee and beignets were delicious, and overall, it's exactly what I expected. It might not be my first choice (I have been very spoiled by DVC rooms) but I would stay here again without regret.
