Walt Disney World: It's Not Just for Kids

As I mentioned in my first piece about Disney World hotels, I have a favorite Disney World Resort-Port Orleans French Quarter.  Actually, both members of the Port Orleans complex are my favorites.  However, Port Orleans French Quarter POFQ has won me over recently, for a few reasons. It only has one bus stop, which is nice. When you stay at Port Orleans Riverside(POR), there are a few bus stops, and waiting to stop at each one can be deadly. Also, Port Orleans French Quarter has beniets. That said, I stayed at Port Orleans Riverside (well, two times it was Dixie Landings) my first four trips to Disney World, so it’s got a soft spot in my heart.

In my book, either resort is a good value for your dollar.  You get the Moderate amenities, such as a free refrigerator in your room.*  You also have an easy boat ride to Downtown Disney.  To me, nothing says “home” like cruising along the Sassagoula River on your way to Downtown Disney, seeing the treehouses.

I also discovered a hidden gem of the Port Orleans Resort on my last trip-Bob Jackson, aka Yeeha Bob.  His show was free, laugh out loud hilarious, and family friendly. I plan on going to see him every trip.

How about you?  What’s your favorite resort?

*Do not make the mistake of thinking that refrigerators are only for families.  I love mine to keep water in, as well as the odd treat from Goofy’s Candy Company.
