Disney's Port Orleans Resort 2021 | Riverside & French Quarter Full Tour | MICKEY Beignets & Gumbo

[@jessicasteiner7298]

I love Port orleans, my husband proposed while we did a carriage ride at Riverside and we stayed at French Quarter. I love French Quarter! Staying at French Quarter in a couple weeks.

[@johnnymoran1177]

Nate your video yesterday gave me an idea for a video, the nooks and crannies of the parks. The area you were at behind the castle with the wishing well is an area many might miss, showing those types of areas in the parks like showing eating in the alley at Universal Studios, or the "quiet areas" of the parks would make a fun video!

[@PagingMrMorrow]

That is so awesome I love little quiet areas I think I would like to do that thanks for the idea

[@johnnymoran1177]

You're the best! 🤩

[@johnnymoran1177]

I've had a picnic at the little gazebo on the dock on Tom Sawyer Island a few times, Park would be full but that area had nobody around and seemed like I had the park to myself...

[@Traveler-nu8xc]

I love French Quarter of all WDW resorts because it’s small and intimate but staying at Riverside in December so my 6 year old twin girls can stay in a princess Tiana room .We stayed in Magnolia Bend once and enjoyed the boat ride, excellent quick service, proximity to French Quarter, great running or walking paths. Only drawback is multiple bus stops.

[@jodywait5659]

My daughter worked at both resorts during her Disney College Program! It’s so peaceful and beautiful. We have stayed in both resorts….I think riverside with a room by the water is amazing! AND thanks for talking about the boat ride to Disney springs….the BEST Disney transportation by far!!! Thanks Mr Morrow for happy memories

[@joycekarko4496]

French Quarter is our favorite resort ! Thanks for taking us around. Can’t wait to go back March 2023! FQ also has a fun scavenger hunt.

[@wendywood6452]

My husband and I stayed at Magnolia Bend and absolutely loved it. We had a special Princess room and the headboard lit up and had fireworks. Love! Love! Love Riverside

[@maybebaby1112]

This is the hotel I’ve always dreamed of staying at. It’s so pretty

[@victoriacouture6594]

My son is 2 and your biggest fan! He absolutely loves watching all of your videos.Lots of times he chooses them over his cartoons.Thanks so much for sharing the magic and bringing a smile to his face :)

[@EpcotCenter1982]

I’ve stayed at POFQ several times. It’s a beautiful resort and I love taking the boats to Disney Springs.

[@joanracine3948]

Nate, Thank you for sharing, we love to stay at the French Quarter we so enjoy this Resort. We came back from WDW & stayed at the Art of Animation & did not care for it - it is just too big for us whereas the FQ is just our speed. The food & the beignets are the best! And thanks again.

[@bonesmanchronicles]

I stayed in a royal room at Riverside several years ago and loved it. Beautiful.

[@mikealanfromchicagoland1209]

The first two hotels I ever stayed at on WDW property. The French Quarter beignets were always a highlight of the stay.

[@PagingMrMorrow]

That is awesome first to hotels!!

[@lindarichard5586]

My husband and I have stayed at The French Quarter a couple of times…we loved it. Stayed at a couple other resorts but The French Quarter was our favourite. Had beignets for breakfast every day. 😋. This resort is beautiful and very peaceful. 💙

[@jillfischer5724]

Thank you so much Nate. Your videos are the favorite part of my day. Love your happy and joyful personality. Really grateful for you! Hope you have a great week ❤️

Lunch with Nate! 🤗 I love the French Quarter! Love that you can take the boat right to Disney Springs. 🤣 that beignet that touched the table? I prob would have eaten it 🤣🤣🤣

[@PagingMrMorrow]

Yesss I love that too

[@jessicaboyd7647]

I would of ate it too!!!! Lol 😂😂😂🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

[@rachelmoore7772]

Me too 😆😆 5 second rule 👍

[@gerryevans5899]

Nate - there are so many cool things to notice at Disney's French Quarter Resort: The street names appear on both the posts AND on the pavement. The reason is that it's not unusual for Partiers in New Orleans to crawl home after a night of drinking. The doors are also painted different colors for the same reason. It's easier to recognize the color of the door instead of its number. By the way, my favorite street name there is the "Rue D'Baga." I'm so pleased that you found the Frog fountain. It's my favorite ❤️. And before I forget, in Jackson Square, they have several dancers above the display cabinets. The odd thing is that they are only visible from the waist down. The upper parts of their bodies are supposedly up on the next floor. I know that these figures are just another part of New Orleans' many stories. And in conclusion, I can hardly wait for Mardi Gras 2022. I've no doubt that Disney's Port Orleans French Quarter will bring back their Mardi Gras Parade. Thanks again for your video Nate You ROCK!!!

[@kristicool701]

Can’t wait to watch this tonight (we watch your vlogs together as a family each evening)! French Quarter is on my list of dream resorts!

[@EvaLovesDisney]

We have stayed in both of the Port Orleans Resorts several times. French Quarter holds a special spot in our hearts since it was one of the Disney resorts we stayed at for our honeymoon. However, we love the Magnolia Bend area of Riverside and stayed in one if the Princess rooms back in 2016. Those Princess rooms are extra special and worth the extra money. I TOTALLY AGREE with you about French Quarter having the best quick service food area compared to then resorts. We love going there (especially in the fall & winter) for lunch or dinner abs then we walk it off along the walkway by the River that connects to Riverside. These 2 resorts are highly underrated in my opinion. I’m ready for sone jambalaya and beignets after watching this!!! 😂 Great video as always Nate!!

[@perky2320]

I could walk the cobblestone streets of French quarter all evening. It’s so quiet and pretty. Very relaxing.

[@sarahvinnicombe8672]

Hey Nate, just wanted to say this video brought me so much joy and excitement. I loved it. I love the POFQ resort. We always stay and after so long being away it was so so nice to see it. Keep making awesome videos buddy! You bring us all so much happiness. Thank you.

[@mskotz]

We honeymooned at Dixie Landings in 1995 and we just booked a quick stay in January for my husband’s 50th birthday! We are DVC members so we haven’t stayed here since our honeymoon. We’re so excited - it is a beautiful and peaceful resort ❤️

[@miss.dee474]

I’ve missed the EC again 😫 but I’m here now Nate ready for the Mickey Beignets!! So much holiday fun your really spoiling us with so many treats and getting to see so many exciting things 😄

@@miss.dee474 you most definitely should try the beignets when you have a chance. There also really good with butter (when they’re warm) and hot chocolate or coffee. 🙂

[@bobbies4687]

Love French Quarter. Glad to see it has reopened. We have stayed there on several trips over the years. Best resort

[@ContempoCoding]

I'm hopefully (as long as there's no snow from here to Philly airport) heading to French Quarter for a mommy-daughter weekend in January. She loves art so I thought we'd take an extra day over MLK weekend and head to the Festival of the Arts. Plus it's right before my birthday so I can grab some birthday beignets!

[@janetlepre7555]

That was wonderful to watch! Thank you for the scenic tour and delicious tastings. We haven't been to Port Orleans since way back in the late 80s when our children were young. Wow. How different it looks from what I recall. Thank you for an enjoyable travelogue! Stay well and safe!

[@luanncrownover4]

I've stayed at French Quarter and love the Mickey beignets! We had a lovely room and enjoyed being able to take the boat transportation to various places. Great resort!

[@las6766]

what a nice walk and boat ride around the resort. Those alligator statues are so cute. Love your "fedorable" ornament gifts. much love Nate.

[@tink64-cheryl5]

French Quarter is hands down my favorite , but then again being from New Orleans its like being "home" when I'm away from home

[@MyBackyardScience]

Hey Nate! We stayed at Riverside in 2007 in Alligator Bayou. We loved everything about it, including the smaller individual pool near the room. We could just step outside our room and swim. It was great for lunch breaks from the parks We brought fishing poles and razor scooters to zip around on. The rogue fishing may not be allowed any more, but it was awesome at the time! But we didn't even know about the beignets until more recently. We have been craving them since! They will be a "must do" on our next trip!

[@_filmology_]

those beignets look so so good!! the hole in the middle is perfectly baked!!!

[@PagingMrMorrow]

They are so delicious I love them

[@michaelflaherty3202]

That horse and buggy ride is the best ride at Disney World!

[@Mrschudkins]

The boat flying through at the end had me cracking up! 😂😂

[@charliehigdon3540]

Most people would turn to Contemporary or Grand Floridian or even Art of Animation. I’m glad I got to witness this beautiful resort! Which side do you prefer? Riverside or French Quarter?

Hi from England! Thank you for bringing back some lovely memories for us. We stayed at Riverside in February 2020 for the first time and absolutely loved it! We were in the alligator bayou. So beautiful. I'm so craving beignets now 😋 can't wait to go back!

[@USMC4341]

As a native New Orleanian it looks like they did a great job! I love how the big chandelier looks like the beads in the trees around here during the Mardi Gras season. Not quite sure about that gumbo and jambalaya but everything else felt like home!⚜️

Stayed at FQ on our 20th anniversary. Took the boat to Springs. The boat driver saw our anniversary buttons and sang the Love Boat theme to us! It was magical😊

[@AndyandPapa]

My wife and I went to stay in LA at the real French Quarter. Stayed a week. Omg it was amazing. The resort does capture it well. Many homeless. But they were respectful if you respected them. Food was the real thing. Shrimp and grits. Gator. Snake meat. Turtle. You name it, they ate it. Don't drink any more. But did enough bar hooping to last a life time. Music amazing. Just a town where you could never get bored.

[@gwenluv]

I was just at this resort for the first time last Friday, I took a lovely little boat ride from Disney Springs and it was so nice, and the beignets were hot and fresh and delicious, I definitely recommend it

[@vanvorst1999]

😎👍 Always enjoyed my stays at Riverside's Magnolia Bend with the nice rooms and landscaping. Plus, its close proximity to a quiet pool, bus stop, boat launch, dining options, and more made it an ideal spot.

Hi Nate. I stayed there more than once when it was Dixie Landings and I loved the resort. One of the best features is the boat that takes you to Disney Springs. Thank you for the tour. I would love to stay there again.

[@susananthony6071]

French Quarter is the easiest to get around, and the jazz music in the lobby is very cool. They used to make the beignets in the food court, and that was always a treat. Now they moved them over to Scat Cats. Riverside is really beautiful, with the stately mansions, and the water mill at the food court. We had a corner room that faced the water, so we could see the boats go by. The boats to Disney Springs are very peaceful. They glide past the Treehouse Villas at Saratoga Springs. But the trip back at night is a little creepy in the dark. Really reminds you of the bayou. Yep, these resorts have a lot to offer, and they’re quite unique. Two of my favorites.

[@joevizzi8804]

Fantastic video !! I’ve stayed at both and really enjoy these Resorts

[@scotthouston7116]

Just stayed here at the riverside in November... very nice resort. And the lobby area smells so good. Love this place. Also yes the fishing hole is open. We did it the day we were leaving. And you walked up to the building we stayed at magnolia bend by the gazebo..
