A review of Port Orleans (Riverside and French Quarter)

[LoveMyLAP-BAND]

Hi,

I took a recent tour of the two Port Orleans resorts. Most rooms have two double beds with pedestal sinks. This is one thing I do not like about the PO resorts- I need counter space to spread out my stuff.

PO-FQ is a smaller resort. The walk from building 1 (furthest building) is 4 minutes to the pool, 4 minutes to the lobby/dining and 5 minutes to the bus stop.

The walk from building 34 at PO-Riverside was 8 minutes to the pool and 9 minutes to the lobby/dining. They do have additional bus stops around the resort. (Note: I did not have kids, stroller, etc, but I am short and do not walk very fast).

The bus stops at the PO resorts are covered so you are not standing out in the sun (as I did at POP).

I like the theming and the buildings are so unique.

thanks for your review! i have a feeling i will have to be looking at mods or values for future trips, and i like that pofq is small.

I love Port Orleans. I think these moderates are beautiful. I do agree about the pedestal sinks. I wish there was more of a counter configuration. I have to spread everything out, too, in the bathroom area!

Though we love POR, we do hate the counters above the sinks. We started(as do many others who stay at PO) bringing those things you hang over the door or in your closet to store shoes. The pockets are perfect for brushes, shampoo, makeup, lotion, hair ties, etc! Just hang it over the clothes rod by the sinks. You can usually find them at the dollar store!

Hanging shoe holders - very clever! I hate packing extra stuff but that would be worth it!

Thanks for the report. Staying at POFQ in Nov. and I'm really looking forward to it.
