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.
- In-room diningDine in on delivery classics including specialty pizzas, wings, desserts, beverages and more brought right to your door.
- Muddy RiverDon’t miss a sippy—let the good times roll at this poolside bar at lushly wooded Ol’ Man Island. Party with frozen and rocks specialty drinks, draft beer, wine, superfruit sangria and nonalcoholic beverages, including the orange freeze.
- River RoostEnjoy the southern comforts of live entertainment by popular cabaret performer Yehaa Bob while sipping southern-style libations like a Southern Hurricane. A full bar is available at this charming old-fashioned watering hole, as are light snacks while the kitchen is open.
- Riverside Mill Food Court
Get a taste of New Orleans at this food court by the big mill wheel that powers a working cotton press. Six stations satisfy any craving: bakery, grill, pizza & pasta, specialties, salads and a carving station. Grab ’n’ go items are available.

Good value resort.
Stayed here for 16 nights October-November 2026. Stayed in a corner room in building 6. The good bits: Boat to Disney springs Very friendly cast members Close to food court Good menu-massive portion sizes, so much so we were unable to eat all our credits Great bus service to the parks The bad: The fan in the room made a noise when it was on The housekeeping team sometimes not engaging. We made towel animals and left tips thanking them for cleaning the room. Sometimes they made a towel animal in response and other times they just took the tip. Overall a good resort.

Loved EVERYTHING about this resort!
As annual Florida visitors, we usually stay off-site in a villa. This year, we decided not to hire a car and stay on-site instead, and it completely changed our mindset! The hotel was stunning, newly renovated, and the staff were everything you’d expect and more from a Disney resort! We had the Disney Dining Plan, so we made the most of the quick-service options which were all great, and used our snack credits for beignets. Beignets on-site?? Double win!! We loved how small and manageable the resort was, making it so easy to walk from one end to the other. It had such a lovely, cosy atmosphere while still feeling completely magical! The pool was also lovely and great for both kids and adults, it was also never over crowded. The disney transport was brilliant, making it easy to be flexible with our days and not need rigid plans (a big benefit we noticed staying on site!). The buses to the parks were great, and the boat to Disney Springs was really handy, we used the boat most evenings! The queues for the boat could get quite busy at peak times, but it didn’t bother us too much as we didn’t make any reservations so we’re not bound by times. Overall, an AMAZING experience, we truly did not want to leave, and we already can’t wait to come back! Disney’s Port Orleans has officially converted us into on-site stayers! ✨

Very nice
Very nice resort, picturesque, clean, great staff. Enjoyed our stay and would go back/ recommend to others. My only complaint is the food, while its good they need more of a selection to choose from. Rooms are updated and comfortable. Good value.

Won’t do this again
Unfortunately, we had a very disappointing stay at Port Orleans French Quarter. Our first room, 1144, had a broken shower that we discovered late at night. Guest Services initially told us there were no other rooms available, so maintenance was sent. After they were unable to fix it an hour later, a room somehow became available and we were finally moved around 12:30 a.m. Do I believe Kat at the front desk was being honest that a last minute cancellation suddenly freed up a room? No, but she had good enough service that we won’t hold that against her, she’s just working with the hand she was dealt. So next up is room, 3248, shower is working so this seems promising right? Alas this one also had major issues. The AC stopped working and began leaking water both inside and outside the room. We were offered a late checkout until 2 p.m., which we appreciated, but no amount of beignets would have kept us here longer than necessary. Having two rooms with significant maintenance problems in the same stay was unacceptable, especially at Disney resort prices. Based on our experience, we would not recommend staying here. Giving 2 stars because the hotel grounds were well kept and the staff we dealt with were all friendly for the most part.

A near perfect Disney hotel.
This is such a lovely Disney hotel. We would definitely consider this again. The resort feels like a wholesome little town which makes it quite unique. Riverside is just a short walk or boat ride away too. We had no issues with noise and the rooms were clean. The rooms had a fridge and coffee machine. The beds were very comfy. The pool is really nice and has a slide or two, as well as a kids splash pad. Disney characters occasionally appeared in the lobby which was a nice surprise. There is a direct boat to Disney Springs which is really nice, and buses to the parks run regularly. The food court is good quality, a decent size, and theres the famous beignets too! The only negatives I think are that the pool doesnt open until 10am, meaning you can't get in a morning swim before going out for the day. This is particularly an issue if you're up early with kids and want something to do. We also found there aren't enough staff on reception. The few times we wanted to speak to someone we had to wait far too long.
