What's the difference between the different Port Orleans rooms?

[fairytalelover]

We are going to stay at the Port Orleans for our honeymoon in June. So we were wondering what is the difference between the French Quarter, Aligator and Riverside rooms and facilities?

Well the French Quarter is a totally different resort than Riverside. They are both clasified as Port Oleans but back in the day they had 2 totally different names (DIxie Landings and Port Orleans to be exact).

The French Quarter is has a VERY Southern feel to it. Think wrought iron and flowers and Jazz music. They do very good at imitating New Orleans.

Port Orleans has the Alligator Bayou which is more rustic. The other section looks like big mansions on a plantation ala Gone With The Wind.

I love them all but me top fav is FQ for size and theme. I think for a honeymoon you would find the Mansions or the FQ the most romantic.

Good luck and congrats. We spent a few nights of our honeymoon in a mansion room before moving to the Beach Club. We loved it and the staff gave us a box of truffles and a certificate for 2 glassed of wine at the bar.

i have stayed in all three and i definately would recommend the french quarter. my husband and i stayed there for our anniversary two years ago and loved it so much we are staying there again this april. it is quieter and alot less crowded than riverside.

We found just the opposite. We stayed at POR and loved the relaxed quiet place. We walked over to FQ one morning to check it out and the place was a madhouse. The food court was packed and loud. The pool area was crowded. We couldn't believe the difference. We were happy to be staying POR. We were on our 10th anniversary trip, so we were looking for peace and quiet. Found it at POR.
