Disney World's Fan-Favorite Hotel?! Port Orleans: French Quarter Review | Room Tour, Snacks, Drinks

[@gabbieellis3542]

Yes when I was little I was scared of sharks in the pool!! I know exactly what Molly was talking about! I was a fearful kid 😂

[@lighthouse_23_]

Yes! Same! My imagination would run away with me and when I swam to the deep end of our pool in Florida I also imagined a great white shark there. That water was deep at 9ft and darker then the rest and in that moment there was no one else in the pool, I remember that as a small child!

[@sethduffy8140]

Yup same here, but it wasn’t just for sharks it was also turtles, I remember a hotel once having mosaic tile turtles and I blame that for my imagination running away with it

[@daniellecascone3146]

I was also a kid that was scared of the imaginary, but very real shark in the deep end of the pool. It was only ever there of I was in the pool by myself though.

[@pigeonplumtree3]

Yep! My older sisters told me Jaws lived in the deep end of our pool & that he was "coming to get me" lolol! I would lay in bed so scared!!! lololol! 🤣

[@gabbieellis3542]

@@pigeonplumtree3 oh my gosh 😂 I have an older sister too! she would mess with me all the time 😂

[@chrisbaker1091]

As a Louisiana native, I can definitely validate Molly’s love of beignets! There is just something about them that doughnuts can’t touch.

[@rainbow20112011]

I thought the strawberry sauce was disgusting. I was expecting it to be a "creamy-type" texture, but instead was all chunky-like. It was gross. The chocolate ganache (or whatever it's called) was good though.

[@Kandykakez]

I am at Scat Cats Club lounge RIGHT now and let me tell you, these beignets and cheese fritters are AMAZING 🥰😍🥰😍

[@kari.sprinkling.magic.luv8]

As a kid I had a huge fear of sharks getting in the deep end too, there's a name for it. I love the video, definitely helps because I've been looking to stay there with the family. Thank y'all for all you do 🎉

[@lizitee]

I'm glad Alan drank the dip pot, makes me feel better for doing it too 😁

[@tiffanylacko857]

Molly haven't seen your entire ear collection in a couple of years I would love to see your collection and how it's grown please do a video on your ear collection

[@fredawilliams4520]

I had a fear of sharks in the deep end too!!! AAACCCKK! My brother convinced me it was true and I believed it for many of my childhood years. Bless my heart! You 2 look like movie stars! So fun to watch always.

[@jonnyboy7885]

My girlfriend and I love this hotel...its beautiful and bc its small, you always feel relaxed and stress-free

[@kayleighlavin6518]

I’d love if you did a haul on all your ears and why you got them/ love them!!! Would be such a fun video to watch ❤

[@jdrew5367]

I’m just curious Molly? Has mammoth club found a way to clone you? You must have whiplash with all the traveling and information you need to know for everyone of these videos. Just want to tell you how much I appreciate all your hard work, and effort yourself and the rest of the Mammoth club put in to all of these wonderful videos. I enjoy your videos very much all three of you together. Then having videos with Alan are just great, and to top it off have videos with just Molly GREAT! I look forward to all of these videos. Thank you mammoth club for all your hard work. Your all much appreciated.( but love Molly) 🤤

[@giselleintheskywithrainbows]

Your reaction when you opened the door! Fantastic! I’ll be laughing about that for days! It was the 😳🫤🤔

[@chric2830]

Yes! Shark in pool! I always had that thought when i was young 😂

[@jwmob91]

Love this video! As a Kentucky guy, I vote Molly and Alan take a trip up and do a bourbon trail video. We can justify it being Disney related since they have that Knob Creek select 😉

[@mandymoore-roberson8549]

Or an oaks/derby trip?!

[@jwmob91]

@@mandymoore-roberson8549 this is also acceptable! 😂

[@MelindaHollis]

I'm staying there on my next trip. This video just cements that it was the right choice to book this one. I'm even more excited now. Beignets! Yum!

[@abbysillaman1244]

Yay!! Resort staycations! This and the winner dinner series are my fave! Got my coffee, and a cat, and settling in to watch. Thank you, Molly and Alan!

[@reneegorman4887]

Mine too!

[@charlesnaretta5205]

Love your videos!

[@lighthouse_23_]

Yep me too! Got my coffee, breakfast and oh look Sasha my cat is coming over to watch!

[@MaxBSchmidt]

We stay here EVERYTIME! love it 🎉

[@marylynnestrachan1494]

my siblings and I 100% had a great white shark in the deep end of our pool! We feel you Molly!

[@debrabrady2797]

Love love love, Port Orleans French Quarter.❤❤❤ .. just returned from my first stay there!!!

[@themeparkqueer]

Here to say I was CERTAIN there was a great white shark in every deep end of every pool I went in until I was smart enough to know it was physically impossible 😅 you are not alone Molly!

[@froggy9851]

Thanks for taking us along!! Shoutout to Mr. Toad... we sure miss you!!

[@madsmom22]

I just got back from my first trip to POFQ and it will NOT be my last. My daughter and I loved how compact it was, easy to get to the food/drinks from anywhere, ONE bus stop!, and beignets. Can't be beat for moderates and worth the small amount more over the Values, for us at least! LOVED IT!!

[@christineschmidutz5057]

I could have written the exact same response. We stayed for the first time last month & LOVED it. We had a split stay with BC & regretted the change. FQ was much more enjoyable

[@edstrong597]

Love Mammoth Club ! Keep up the good work. The look on your face when you said the temp and the real feel was GREAT ! LOL

[@kikimouse]

my favorite disney hotel !!! the second is Riverside !!🥰You brought back lovely memories!! would fly back just for the beignets😍Thanks fun video!!

[@juttaperry]

Thank you for this video. My daughter has picked this resort for our vacation. I have been on the fence until I saw this video. We normally go to Disneyland but we want to check out Disney World next year. You guys rock!!!

[@eileenmiller4575]

This is our favorite resort. We love that it’s small, has 1 bus stop, and taking the boat to Disney Springs. They had a Shrimp Po’Boy for years that wasn’t on the menu when we went in November. So sad. But the beignets helped. 😊

[@juliebuchheit7015]

I agree with Alan’s facial expression on whether or not to get the beignet ears. 😂

[@lighthouse_23_]

This is a smart married man, doesn't outright say it, but says it with a look!

[@The12DDOC]

THE SHARK IN THE DEEP END YES! I still get low key nervous if I swim in my parents pool at night 😆🫣

[@DonnaHaggerty]

Molly and Alan, so enjoy your videos!! Please do a full review of Port Orleans Riverside. It’s a favorite hotel of ours and would love to see your insights on it. Thank you for taking us to all the places we love especially when we can’t be there ourselves. You both do a wonderful job!!!

[@angela333a]

French quarter is my favorite place to stay at Disney. I love that it is small with one bus stop and great boat ride to Disney springs. Love it!

[@BarbaraSeeton-uu6sp]

I always thought there was a shark in the pool when I was a kid and it still pops into my mind as an adult from time to time 😂🦈❤ 14:08

[@jessicah7474]

Molly, I always worried about sharks in the pool too. You are not alone! 😆

[@lyssar28]

I love that you both have mics now! I can hear all the hilarious comments 😂. Thanks for a resort "tour"!

[@MissPrissJewels]

There’s really a value on doing this for each resort to give people a full view of options.

[@LorilovestheMagic]

Love FQ!!!❤And yes, more beignets are always appropriate!!

[@SpookyDisnerd13]

14:02 I had the same fear! And now I'm like you, they're one of my fave animals!!

[@rebeccarobinson3962]

Port Orleans French Quarter was the resort we visited the most when I was younger, so it is very nostalgic. We do try to go back most trips to get beignets.

[@PinkSwiftPenguin]

POFQ is my "Disney Home". I've stayed there twice and it was nice to have a quiet place coming back from the parks.

[@kevinstarr516]

The huge Krewe of Minerva doubloon on the shelf of Sassagoula's Floatworks is a perfect reproduction that is from the last Mardi Gras parade I marched in with my high school in 1985 that ended just 2 blocks from my house!!!

[@sofinovella6866]

I too, feared having a shark in my own pool at home. I love how that was your childhood fear, yet Jaws is your favorite movie and you were legit so excited to see Bruce hanging in that museum 😂

[@karifeyen]

Love your outfits Molly, I look forward to it every video💖

[@JamiePatton13]

We love going to the jazz club from an evening at Disney Springs. It's a fun thing to do locally without having to stay at the hotel. :)

[@nicolenordquist6560]

I totally agree about Scat Cat’s Lounge! We went in December and loved the drinks, entertainment and food!

[@KaileyHacha-cj7po]

We were in the background when you were filming! Ahhh we had no idea!!! This MADE our whole week! ❤️❤️❤️ Love the French Fry Quarter! (as my child would say!) ❤️

[@RSW552]

I love Molly's jacket. It reminds me of the 80s. The best decade ever. 🎸

[@Honor1123678]

Yess! You are not alone Molly! As a kid I was on swim team and was terrified of the back stroke because that's when I thought the shark would come out of the filter and eat me!

[@jenniferduehring7311]

OMG! You are so right!! Beignets are definitely different than a donut. Beignets done right have a slightly different texture and weight (yes, they don’t taste as heavy and they don’t weigh as much) than a donut. That’s because their ingredients are slightly different. They have more eggs and more yeast. That makes them lighter, puffier and with a middle that has a doughy bounce. Thanks for reminding me of the goodness of having the powdered sugar on (and all around) them. And I agree - savory might be nice but the classic is best! Cheers to the bag shake!!

[@amyhagen9691]

You’ve convinced me! Moving from Coronado standard room to French quarter. I’ve stayed at Coronado before so I should try French quarter.

[@rhondapickert2957]

Just stayed at POFQ in January for a very impromptu Sister Trip! Normally stay at AKL but since it was our 2nd trip in 3 months, went with a less expensive resort. One of my sisters and I had stayed here before but one sister had not-we all LOVED IT!! Beautiful, peaceful and yes-the food/beignets! Amazing!!

[@emtwomen56]

French Quarter is our favorite resort ! We stay there here pretty much every vacation ❤️ it’s a haven outside the parks for us .

[@kirikennedy9796]

Was terrified of this one pool I swam in at a hotel because it was a little cloudy and I thought there would be sharks in the deep end. Totally with you on that one!

[@heidipantaleo7577]

As a pastry chef I can say Molly is correct-a beignet batter is different than a doughnut. And fully agree that they are amazing! Also side note that was not true king cake either, I’d say it was cinnamon coffee cake with icing resembling king cake. Thanks for another amazing video! Also this is my request for Alan to recreate that burger at home. I love his instagram food posts

[@janeleslie4192]

Definitely add a pool resort day into your vacation. Maybe 2.😊

[@cameronmccarty2867]

I also had the shark fear in the pool. So much so I got out and thoroughly inspected the pool before continuing my swim lol. French quarter is my family’s favorite.

[@parkerc1279]

yes Molly I agree are used to have panic attacks in a pool or a lake thinking a shark could be in there!

[@kimm5313]

We stayed at Por Orleans in Jan 2015. We loved that it was a small resort! It was quiet and relaxing. We also loved taking the boat to Disney Springs.

[@cassandrahopkins2498]

This video made my husband say let’s change resorts for on stay in May😂 We love French Quarter

[@jodisheesley5359]

OMG, I was watching some KZbin yesterday, you know, other people's reviews of French Quarter, and was literally wishing for a review by Molly and here it is! Likely where we'll be staying on our next trip... thank you for fulfilling my "mamifesting"

[@mr3strands]

Loved this tour of my current favorite resort! I think I could do Beignets for Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner!

[@annirish7098]

Port Orleans is my favorite. Low key and very pretty. I do miss the themed bedding and hope they bring that back soon.

[@Adstroia]

Love to see a Riverside staycation too!! This was great!

[@nicolenordquist6560]

I totally agree about Scat Cat’s lounge! We went in December and really enjoyed the drinks food and entertainment!

[@TheOrderofDylan]

Shhhh! I don't want everyone knowing about this amazing resort! 😛Easily my favorite stay on property. The jazzy vibes. The beignets. Having Scat Cat's live music to enjoy after a long park day. The easy access to Disney Springs. It's perfect.

[@alexislatour9373]

Resort stay-cations are my fav! Can’t wait to see where y’all adventure to next

[@CheeseyLouisee]

Please do the Polynesian Molly & Alan ❤️ My family as a Sept trip on the books. Also, you’re totally not alone in the shark/pool fear, Molly! Lol.

[@frostus27]

We stayed at French Quarter several years ago and it's absolutely our favorite resort. Can't wait to go back again!

[@a_savage-manatee]

Grew up with a pool in my backyard and would sometimes run out of the pool because the vision of a great white busting up through the bottom was so intense!! 😂

[@zeketerry3419]

Stayed at both Riverside AND French Quarter, loved the boat transportation to Disney Springs from both - but French Quarter really won me over. We'll totally be going back and staying there again.

[@reginalucas251]

i would love to see a Wilderness Lodge or Polynesian Village Resort staycation video !

[@laurencass6449]

Yes!!

[@karenadie1467]

I’ve stayed here 3 times, I love it. Small, pretty, and not too in-your-face Disney (just personal preference but I get my full-on Disney fix in the parks and like subtler theming at the resorts). In fact I was there last month, and really miss it (can’t visit very often from the UK).

[@chelseaclary6386]

I have been a huge fan and follower for many years! We just got back from our week long trip to FQ and I saw a post on your IG story when you were eating beignets while we were and I was so hoping to run into you!! Out of all the trips we have taken in recent years, we have yet to run into you! So bummed! We love you guys and your videos! I can always count on you to help my Disney depression and will rewatch them to get my Disney fix! Thank you all the hard work you guys put in this channel to bring the magic to all of us! Hope to meet you guys one day! 😊

[@theswartzfam1003]

Yay!! We are staying here in June and cannot get over the fresh FQ videos to get up to date accurate reviews.

[@TripNWithRed]

French Quarter Resort is one of our favorites. The aesthetics is so beautiful. We've stayed there a few times and it's always incredible.

[@glen5948]

Really enjoyed the review. I’ve stayed at the French Quarter 5 times, love it. The two most recent were march and September of last year. I’ll be there on the 24th to the 30 th of this month as well, celebrating my 65th birthday and beginning of retirement.

[@tpg5974]

Our one stay at POFQ, when we couldn't use a friend's DVC points at SSR, was awesome!! The compact size of the resort was great. My young kids (at the time) loved the pool. Theming was on point. And probably most important, we were a lovely boat ride away from Disney Springs, of which my family is a HUGE fan! I would definitely stay there again.

[@sabrinashaw207]

I love that y’all do these things together!

[@haley__1316]

I love these types of videos! I can agree with you on the beignet ears too. I wish the ears themselves were not flat. Wish they were fluffy

[@wdwexploreandchill]

Yay! Ya’ll are at one of my favorite spots ever!!!! The views for long walks, live music at the lounge and the beignets make it practically heavenly to me!!!! 💜

[@AdultinginThemeParkLand]

Molly I also thought there would be a Great White in the deep end of the pool when I was a kid. You are def not alone!

[@stefiemoreira4360]

This is my comfort Mammoth Club video 🥰

[@GLJosh]

We stayed at Riverside over Christmas, very nice location with unique food options. We did eat a quick lunch and beignets over at French Quarter.

[@FoxxyHawk]

Molly and Alan you are such an amazing pair. You complement each other so well. Another amazing video.

[@joanncook4315]

Staying at Port Orleans for the 3rd time before we go on our Disney Cruise. I just love that resort. The size is nice and it just feels right!!

[@jenniferfaux-campbell8175]

Another great video! Thanks, Mammoth Club!

[@danwalker4401]

Im here to vouch for molly. I used to think sharks were in the deep end of my local pool cos it was dark and scary things live in the dark, so your not alone there molly haha

[@HollyPurslow-hv6iy]

Totally back your fear of great white being in the deep end, I have got out many a pool after convincing myself I’m sharing the pool with a toothy friend. Love the video, I need a beignet in my life!!

[@juliakees7803]

I just stayed at Port Orleans French Quarter. We had the best time. The staff was so friendly and helpful. I will definitely return.

[@Prince_of_void]

Fishing montage... omg they are passing the castle, wow what great views, dang there is the monorail and Alan is actually fishing... What the HELLO DOLLY - Molly caught a fish???? Held a fish is impressive but did she catch it? OK back to the hotel....

[@kristin4185]

I stayed here last month. I had the BEST room location and absolutely loved the compactness of the resort and the ease of getting to the resort center and bus stop. A new favorite for sure!

[@jenmiller8086]

YES!!! There was a great white shark in the deep end of the pool and you would have to swim as fast as you could to the steps in the shallow end to escape it from chasing you. Extra terrifying because my grandparents had a black bottom pool. 😩

[@lighthouse_23_]

Yikes! A black bottom pool?! Anything could be down there..... just kidding lol

[@marcschubert139]

YES!! Molly and beignet's. Good start to Sunday. This is my family's favorite resort by far, love taking the boat to Disney Springs and stopping in at Scat Cats for a nightcap after a long day in the parks. We have reservations in October, can't wait.

[@darenabney608]

We’re staying at French Quarter for the 1st time later this year, your video got us even more excited since we’re all about the cocktails & Mickey shaped souther donuts! ;) 😂

[@rochellehoffman777]

Loved staying at Port Orleans in January. Loved how everything was close together and transportation was great. Took the boat to Disney Springs a few times and it was so relaxing.

[@mlou4444]

Just had the perfect Molly day at CA Disneyland parks. Lobster Nachos at Lamplight Lounge, eating Mickey beignets, while watching Fantasmic and Wondrous Journeys Fireworks. P.S. It was the first time I actually got to see the new fireworks since I always go on weekdays or with small children who can't stay up late, and Molly is absolutely right. It is literally the best fireworks/show I have ever seen at Disneyland ever! I absolutely got choked up too.

[@alanarapacz1882]

Thanks for another GREAT video! French Quarter is my favorite WDW hotel too! 🤗❤ Molly, I also thought there was a shark in the deep end of a pool when I was a kid. You are not alone! :)

[@barbk5820]

Another great video!!!! I have stayed at Port Orleans FQ several times, and it has always been a favorite! Rooms are comfortable, and the overall resort itself is beautiful and believe it or not, pretty quiet.

[@justins9886]

I usually have my cocktails while fishing. Makes the fishing more enjoyable.
