Resort Details
- Boatwright’s Dining Hall
Looking for southern hospitality in a casual but creative setting overlooking the Sassagoula River? Your ship’s come in.
Dine in a rustic shipyard warehouse and savor the flavor of tasty New Orleans cooking.
Hanging lanterns illuminate the cavernous dining hall, and the skeletal hull of a lugger fishing boat is suspended on high as its centerpiece. Warm yourself by the fire as you spy antique shipbuilding tools on the walls: C-clamps, saw blades, axes and more. Season your dinner with salt and pepper housed in a dandy tool box and wipe your maw with a shop rag—clean, of course! But first, get into some good eatin’.
N’awlins favorites like Cajun crawfish bites, gumbo and jambalaya offer a tantalizing taste of the Louisiana Bayou. Keep rollin’ down the river with voodoo chicken, sweet tea-brined pork chops, prime rib or andouille-crusted catfish. For dessert, bananas Foster angel food cake, bread pudding and pecan pie weave their black magic. A cavalcade of carnival-worthy cocktails is available to revelers 21 years of age and older, as is a kids’ menu for little picayunes.
Boatwright’s Dining Hall is open for dinner only. Reservations are recommended.

Nov 27, 2025Our favorite resort
I can't say enough good things about this resort. From the moment you check in to the resort cast members go out of their way to make you feel special and at home. No matter which building you are in, it's a short walk to the bus stops or the food court. The pool is so nice, so many chairs and tables. Plenty of shade if you want. Everything is so clean and the newly renovated rooms are gorgeous. The buses to the park are frequent and hardly ever a wait. The boat to Disney springs is one of the best perks. It's a beautiful boat ride. Highly recommend this resort

Best WDW Resort
We do a WDW trip at least once a year and the French Quarter is our preferred location. The footprint is small and makes it easy to get around and the transportation to the parks are usually quick and easy. The rooms are clean and rarely any problems. If so they are quickly corrected. Noise is basically nonexistent and the New Orleans style and ambience is relaxing and fun.

Awesome place to stay!
Port Orleans French Quarter was amazing!!! Everyone was super friendly the rooms where clean and big enough for a family of 4. The food was very good with plenty of space to eat. My family had micky beignets every night, I think my kids would have had them for every meal if we let them. The pool is huge, it has a nice slide for kids. I would recommend the french quarter to anyone for their stay at Disney.
