Celebrating Mardi Gras Early with Port Orleans French Quarter Quick Service

[@annylulu96xmas]

I’m loving the new energy that hurricane Hannah brings to the team.

[@pamelapetrosino4437]

Ryno’s analogies, when describing the cake, were everything! 😂😂😂

[@elizdavidson]

I'm dying- we were just there last week and I guess we missed you! I love the new create your own option- the braised beef with mac and cheese was delicious!!! The best part of FQ is that it is usually peaceful and quick to get in and get your food. Even when it's crowded, it's not really crowded. The CMs are awesome!

[@TheCajunNinja]

New sub here! And I’m very much humbled by the shoutout at 12:09 ☺️🙏🏻 Congrats on all your success here! 👊🏻

[@DISUnlimited]

Thank you and thanks for sharing how to really cook!

[@jeanettepelletier4840]

The king cake description was too funny.

Creole Craig!! Love it

[@DISUnlimited]

Tough between Creole or Cajun.

Our family loves this resort!

[@DISUnlimited]

It's so beautiful and relaxing!

[@katebender4745]

I love French Quarter! Last trip I took my family on a boat from Disney Springs and we had lunch there and took some beignets to go ❤

[@C-Bee]

Those beignets are everything!

[@DISUnlimited]

Stay tuned for beignets on Monday...

[@jennlalyn]

Creole Craig sounds a bit like Forest Gump! Lol Thank you for the videos!

[@nefasventures]

We stayed here for a week and the Floatworks was tasty every time. Did not disappoint at all. If you like some spice, try the gumbo. We had the salmon they have like three times. I loved the breakfast totchos as well. Beignets next door are a must. I just loved this resort.

[@LisaBarker-z7n]

Love the Mardi Gras names! Quick Service probably isn't the best judge of Mardi Gras cuisine!

[@bethani4757]

I visited family there back in October 2022 while I was staying at Kidani, and I absolutely loved the shrimp and grits. I loved them to the point that I went back at the end of my trip for a second portion and found the recipe online to make at home. I could be the exception though lol

[@susan_elizabeth]

The food looks pretty good! Cute restaurant. Unfortunate presentation of the shrimp and grits, though. Thanks for sharing with us!

[@GasFayce]

Loki Gator shirt for the win!

[@singleplayergamerr]

butter would have went very well with those grits. a lot of folks like sugar. i love salt & butter. great review not an insane price

[@frankaderholdt5667]

We are planning to be at Port Orleans French Quarter for five days during the first week of March. We live in Mississippi, less than two hours from the REAL French Quarter. I'm looking forward to sharing my thoughts on the WDW resort with a Cast Member. It's pretty much the same as the real thing, except I miss the random gunfire, the fights in the streets (steer clear!), the people losing it on the sidewalks (and I don't mean their minds), and the general filth. Other than that, yeah, it's pretty much the same.

[@frankaderholdt5667]

I was speaking of course about Bourbon Street. Royal Street, the next street over, is a different world. French Quarter "pros" will know what I mean.

[@lazr4096]

Oh my both plates looked like dungeon slop

[@Malvito]

My wife and I late-honeymooned at Port Orleans French Quarter; when we first arrived, settled in, and walked around the grounds, she noted that she would have been happy just to spend a week there, even without park tickets. (Of course, she took that last part back once we were actually in the parks ... ) Where this hotel is concerned, I am more on Craig's side than Ryno's. The food we had was different from what you have described in your video. To be fair, though, we didn't eat at the hotel that often; the lion's share of our meals were in the parks.

[@Manifestingmama11]

Are they doing anything for mardi gras next week ?

[@DISUnlimited]

They usually do a special parade there.

[@elizdavidson]

Oh you missed out on the red velvet cupcake! I've been looking for a good red velvet cake since my great-grandmother passed away because hers was the best. They nailed it. Needed more frosting (but I"m a frosting junkie) but the cake was perfect- it didn't taste too chocolate and it didn't taste like food dye. If you get a chance to try it, give it a whirl!

[@christiel2143]

Not sure if it's still on the menu, they had a pretty good pot roast

[@GetNLine]

Why does the shrimp and grits look like soup? I've never had shrimp and grits that look like that

[@DISUnlimited]

It looked like shrimp alfredo served over grits.

[@Michael-yb5md]

dining scores?

[@jayneestrycker7453]

Please get an ADR at 1900 Park Faire👍 Can't wait to see that one😊

[@DISUnlimited]

We'll do our best!

[@Marshy9128308]

Ryno from now on will be called river boat ryno

[@jodirt1286]

save the $$$$ spent at disney and go to Mobile AL or New Orleans during mardi gras. great food and amazing cultural experience… and real king cake

[@coricross682]

Amen Hannah! Shrimp & Grits should have more of a BBQ type sauce. That did not look like a normal king cake. Ryno’s jambalaya looked yummy. I wanna try the beignets at POFQ.

[@user-gp8yq]

Worth watching for “gumbo poutine”.

[@user-gp8yq]

Also “it did not succeed as a cake”.

King cakes aren’t hard to make ..

[@DISUnlimited]

Tell that to them...

[@jeffreycurtisjr9195]

lol maybe the should source it from Nola bakery ..

[@tiggerette9509]

Preach it Hurricane Hannah! Love your review of the Cake! Just cause a bakery drizzles purple, green and yellow/gold on a baked item, does not make it a King Cake. Love the Loki-Gator shirt, Ryno. Always on point with festive flair! Points to Craig getting real close to the standard phrase, "Throw me somethin' Mister!" and I almost snarfed by cafe au lait with the "disappointment" part of his review. :D Y'all had similar experiences to mine years ago; at least there's consistency? Laissez les bons temps rouler, chers!

[@DISUnlimited]

Hahaha consistently just slightly disappointing right?

[@CaitlynSpencer]

I'm staying at POFQ in June. I didn't see any of the entrees you ordered on the mobile app or on the menu on the website, but I keep seeing them in video reviews. Is it safe to say that the full menu isn't listed online? Do quick service menus typically change often?

[@DISUnlimited]

You are correct. Half the menu isn’t available through mobile order but it is at the restaurant. Once you order there, you can ask for it to go. The menu shouldn’t change between now and then.

[@CaitlynSpencer]

@@DISUnlimited Thank you so much! Do you happen to remember if the French Dip sandwich was still on the menu? I'd seen it in a video review before as well, but I think the video was a few years old.

[@DISUnlimited]

It is! I was between that and the burger and I should’ve tried it.

[@LisaAnn365]

I'm detecting some accents...

[@DISUnlimited]

Terrible accents.

[@wendyaldridge4983]

Thank you for letting people know that’s not authentic Louisiana or Cajun food.

[@graceschmidt1942]

My parents were from New Orleans and although my mother was a great cook, I would never eat gumbo when she made it. Still won't eat it any where. However, I love shrimp and grits and the last time I went to Sassagoula, a few years back the shrimp and grits were great. So sorry to hear, the quality has changed. I wonder if the chef has changed 🤷‍♀️

[@DISUnlimited]

I think it's just expectations. If you go in thinking that the Shrimp and Grits you normally have will be in the same style tomato based sauce then its weird when it's one step away from alfredo.

[@tyr423333]

Had the gumbo there earlier this month and I loved it. Compared to the other Disney quick serves, this place is high up on the list. I do miss the crap they used to have hanging from the ceiling tho

[@stevenweatherman7325]

"Creole Craig " Aaaaaaaand you're fired.

[@dee_mcgee11]

Quite disappointing about the King Cake.

[@DISUnlimited]

Very.

[@dee_mcgee11]

@@DISUnlimited you guys are better than me for not having taken that inedible cake back up to the counter.

[@DannyJayKayyy]

Hannah, does anyone say you look like Lana del Rey?

[@GQMofo]

Awwww no beignets guys???

[@DISUnlimited]

Beignets took on a life of its own. Since they're now in Scat Cat not the quick service we have a separate video going out on Monday.

[@marilynkozlow8400]

Hannah’s meal would have looked much better had it been layered instead of all mixed together.

[@DISUnlimited]

Agree.

[@CrazyMagicalAdventures]

It looks the same as it was a few years ago. Same King Cake. It was awful and dry. All 5 of us dining there agreed and no one wanted to eat it, so it was pretty much left on table as a throw away.

[@Michelleybellin]

Is Hannah missing a syllable in Mississippi or has my Yankee brain just been saying it wrong my whole life?

[@frankaderholdt5667]

As a native Mississippian, ah dooh declare there are only three syllables in Miss-sip'-pi.

[@suec5965]

They’re cooking for the masses so that’s probably why they tone down the spice. My shrimp and grits was good except way too much salt. Pet peeve. I can add my own salt if I need more. I was expecting you to get the special bananas foster beignets they have now. Especially after a disappointing dessert.

[@DISUnlimited]

Monday…

[@luannemorris6462]

I’m so upset! We’re staying at Riverside and walked over there for lunch - we just missed you😢

[@stephenmaher9067]

Y'all putting too much sassafras on the pronunciation of New Orleans and it's killing me lol. This is all it is: New "Oar-Lense" That's it baby. Stop talking like the ghost of Robert E Lee XD
