Unofficial Guide to the Port Orleans Riverside & French Quarter Resorts at Walt Disney World in Florida

@raymondlee42 @deborah_frangos @MartinSLewis If you are fixed until 2023 (and you didn't do the fix in the last 6 months or so) you are one of the lucky ones, it won't change unless the company goes bust (unlikely).

The long wait is finally over. After 19 months (586 days) Port Orleans French Quarter finally joins its sister resort Riverside in reopening its doors.

Good Luck to the management team and cast members as they welcome guests back to the resort's famous New Orleans-inspired charm

Tomorrow morning at 6am, Port Orleans French Quarter will welcome its first returning guests in nearly 20 months. It's been a long wait for everyone - good luck to the management team and all the cast members for a smooth re-opening.

Time for the Two-Day Dance... So what's your favourite building or view at Port Orleans French Quarter?

[PortOrleans.org @PortOrleansOrg]

So who's planning on strolling back into the fabulous New Orleans-inspired lobby at Port Orleans French Quarter when it finally reopens on Thursday?

[PortOrleans.org @PortOrleansOrg]

Just four days to go now... Anyone getting excited to be back?

[PortOrleans.org @PortOrleansOrg]

Five days until guests will be back enjoying the Doubloon Lagoon pool at Port Orleans French Quarter - watched over by the great King Neptune himself, riding atop his giant sea-serpent Scales.

[PortOrleans.org @PortOrleansOrg]

Six more days until the Sassagoula Steamboat Company river ferries will once again be making stops at the reopened Port Orleans French Quarter dock, picking up newly arrived guests for shopping and dining trips to Disney Springs.

[PortOrleans.org @PortOrleansOrg]

Just one week until Port Orleans French Quarter's colorful alligators can welcome guests back to the resort again.

[PortOrleans.org @PortOrleansOrg]

Just eight days until the reopening of Port Orleans French Quarter! Younger kids will love the children's activity splash play area adjacent to the main Doubloon Lagoon swimming pool.

[PortOrleans.org @PortOrleansOrg]

So the French Quarter reopening is down to single digits already...

[PortOrleans.org @PortOrleansOrg]

With Port Orleans Riverside now open and thronging with happy guests, it's time to turn our attention a little further along the Sassagoula River...

[PortOrleans.org @PortOrleansOrg]

I have been waiting 572 days to post this message:

PORT ORLEANS RIVERSIDE IS NOW OPEN

Good luck to the management team and cast members for their first day welcoming guests back to the Port, the day is finally here.

See https://t.co/bptGliF2Ud for updates during the day.

[PortOrleans.org @PortOrleansOrg]

If you are booked in for tomorrow, I suggest doing Online Check-in if at all possible. The sudden occupation of most of the resort's 2,000+ rooms is bound to put a strain on the Front Desk team, but if as many guests as possible opt for Direct-to-Room arrival that should help.

[PortOrleans.org @PortOrleansOrg]

Tomorrow will finally see Port Orleans Riverside open and teeming with guests again! It's been a long 19 months, but at last the wait is almost over. Good luck to John and his whole team for their long-awaited reopening day.

Just one more sleep to go now...

[PortOrleans.org @PortOrleansOrg]

Just 48 short hours until guests will be returning to Port Orleans Riverside. It has been empty and alone for far too long.

[PortOrleans.org @PortOrleansOrg]

Who else enjoys just wandering around the resort and finding all the little hidden gems? Like the beautifully themed gazebo nestled alongside the river by the Magnolia Terrace mansion building, which has been the location for many a marriage proposal over the years.

[PortOrleans.org @PortOrleansOrg]

In just four days, guests will once again be immersed in the Southern Charm of Disney's Port Orleans Resort Riverside.

[PortOrleans.org @PortOrleansOrg]

Just five days until Port Orleans Riverside reopens after a 19 month absence. Anyone else getting just a tiny little bit excited?

[PortOrleans.org @PortOrleansOrg]

Port Orleans Riverside reopens next Thursday. Is anyone planning on taking a refreshing dip in the Ol' Man Island pool? Or perhaps some relaxing libations at the Muddy Rivers pool bar would be more to your taste?
