Walt Disney World said today it plans to reopen the 1,080-room French Quarter section of its rambling Port Orleans Resort midway through the crucial spring break travel season.
The New Orleans-theme French Quarter will reopen March 21. Disney began taking reservations today.
Disney closed the French Quarter in early May as part of a two-year renovation of Port Orleans, which includes the 2,048-room Riverside section.
Riverside has remained opened but is being renovated in phases, spokeswoman Rena Langley said.
Improvements to both sections include the installation of new carpeting, furniture and bathroom fixtures, she said.
The French Quarter opened in 1991. Riverside, originally a separate hotel called Dixie Landings, followed in 1992. The adjacent hotels were merged four years ago.
Even after staying is several of the deluxe hotels, POFQ remains my favorite Disney resort. Its size, the location and the beautiful river with the diverse wildlife puts it at the number one spot to stay on site for me.
I'm still not sure when my next trip to WDW will be but I now know where I'll be staying at least for part of the trip.
