If you like jazz, you can always head over to POFQ at Scat Cats. Eliot Dyson plays there Wed-Sun. There is also beignets in the food court. Both have beautiful grounds.
As posted in another POR thread.
We relly like POR. If getting a waterview room though you may be placed near a pool (still water in their opinion). On check in see if you can be moved to a RIVER view as it will be closer to the main building and main pool area. The smaller pool areas can get noisy. We had no issues with the bus service.
POR is my favorite resort!!! A few things you should not miss:
The boat ride to DTD
Walk around the beautifully landscaped grounds
Catch Bob Jackson's show in the lounge - he plays Wednesday-Saturday from 8:30pm until midnight. It's a family-friendly show. But adults traveling without kids will also have a blast. This is a MUST SEE!!!!
We go to WDW every year and always stay at POR! It is beautiful! We (dh and myself) stay in the mansions. We love it. It is clean, usually quiet, nice size rooms, and dh loves the food court. We have never had any trouble with the bus or boat system.We will be staying at the Port Orleans Riverside Jan 28th to Feb 2nd, I have read that it is a very beautiful resort. I would like any feedback you have about your stay at that resort. Thanks
Smily1: I am wondering if there was alot of trees with leaves and flowers around the port orleans resort this time of year, we have only been there in april. We are thinking of a end of feb stay, but I love to see the flowers etc.
Also what section did you stay in and how were the room conditions? We also love that resort.

We have stayed there twice , once in 2005 and once in 2006 and we love it. The landscaping and the buildings are very pretty. We love the quiet pools that are scattered all around. And Boatwrights is very good for breakfast. We haven't been able to try the carriage rides but they are the list for next trip. We hope to be back there this fall I am so looking forward to it!
We just got back from POR and we *loved* it! I would definitely stay there again!!
I spent part of my honeymoon there (was Dixie Landings then). I will always have fond memories of the place, I still think it is the best of all the mid-priced resorts. Hope you like it as much as we do. Breakfast was also excellent each morning.
