STAYING AT PORT ORLEANS FRENCH QUARTER- NEW Rooms & Beignets! Walt Disney World

[@JudithRandall-vz1zk]

The creator's attitude personality is 100% real, like she's saying: this is who I am. And I love it. Psychologists call it, being the AUTHENTIC SELF. What the smartest of us aim for. Her reviews are presented as if to a couple of friends and we are part of that group. She is unique and obviously enjoys life. Her reviews are like getting a video from a friend. Thank you.

[@JudithRandall-vz1zk]

Her charming way of pointing out the smallest details that she considers fun or pretty is endearing.

[@theflyingtcup]

I really enjoyed this video, it’s a little more vlog style vs just a food review. Would love to see more!

[@LesleyH]

LOL I love how you were so sad about your last beignets then had them for breakfast the next morning 🥰. That is absolutely something I would do 😂 another great vlog Kristen 🫶

[@CorrineDurham]

We enjoyed meeting you in the lobby of the French Quarter during our stay at our favorite resort! Glad you savored your beignets! Dan and Corey

[@lisabudd5979]

Good food and and a irish coffee this is perfect. The French quarter was a really good pick .looks so beautiful . Your vlogs are terrific.

[@garrettbarnes7112]

You have such great and authentic content. I love it.

[@ani9603]

Every time we go to Disney we're taking the boat to Port Orleans for the beignets. But... this cornbread has captured my heart.❤ I love a good , moist cornbread with a lot of butter. This will be obtained on our next trip. Thanks Kristin!! 😋😋😋😋

[@candacefisk4581]

So glad you compare apples to apples and show examples shrimp and grits 30 plus vs 15 plus being better. Love your videos honest and down to earth ❤

[@pam863]

Love this girl ! She is always so honest and that’s why I go to her for any and all food related reviews. I know what Vloggers aren’t going to be quite as honest because well we know why 😂Which I understand, but I definitely come here for the real deal. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@cheryls.4491]

Port Orleans French Quarter is our absolute favorite resort. We stayed there again this past August and are already booked for 2025. Thanks for the visit Home.

[@angela333a]

French quarter is my favorite. It’s quiet and just one bus stop. The boat ride down to Disney spring is amazing.

[@tomdelia1209]

I love how great you’ve gotten at doing these videos!! Been watching since your first one, and your doing great

[@davidlavallee1547]

This is me and my wife's favorite resort!! So peaceful and quiet. We will be there next month and can't wait!!

[@BlueJay6441]

Great review, thank you!

[@NessieMay]

Love French Quarter and the updates look great! Also your earrings are super cute. Thanks for sharing! 👍

[@andybiz4273]

The cut to breakfast was great! Now I want all the beignets!

[@aek2897]

My favorite is the shrimp and grits. I couldn't believe how good they were.

[@shannonmiller5618]

Absolutely favorite resort and I’m a DVC member!

[@koriewilliams7076]

lovely video, as someone from Louisiana, I would most definitely pick something that is authentic of the culture, like gumbo or jambalaya or red beans or fried seafood. Beautiful depiction of New Orleans. Thank you for sharing this.

[@jchacho6335]

Port Orleans has always been my favorite resort. I have stayed in many of the deluxe resorts and DVC rooms. But the theming and size of this resort is the best. And you can have beignets every morning. The jambalaya is also really good, too.

[@lisawilliams8039]

Thank you for visiting both resorts! I did not realize that French Quarter was getting a refurb. The rooms look so much nicer! Too bad about the tanned salmon!!!

[@nurseprac.nikki513]

I really enjoy your videos. We are lucky enough to stay at the Grand Floridian every summer although last summer we tried the Riviera. We were not fans. The ambience at the GF is worth the price in our mind as it’s quiet, welcoming and beautiful to look at. The Riviera made me feel like I was staying in a casino hotel. I say this because we rarely branch out, so watching these videos allows a little glimpse into other hotels and restaurants, from a real person point of voice. We’ve now tried restaurants that we more than likely wouldn’t have tried if it hadn’t been for your reviews. We may even try a different hotel. So thank you for your reviews, they do make a difference.

[@Katelynn-u3f]

Your earrings look great!

[@enda511]

Really enjoyed this episode! Thank you so much ❤

[@chrisjones4423]

I love the Shrimp Po'Boy there...Be back there in 3 weeks can't Wait!

[@jenb.6733]

Shrimp and grits are the best! Doesn’t get better unless you add cookies and cream beignets for dessert! Great review

[@wrightdownmainstreet]

The winning combo!

[@jeannemcelroy4240]

We love POFQ! Our favorite moderate resort. The beignets are soooo good!

[@bridget824]

I am so excited that you did this review as I am going to stay there in three weeks! Thank you for your great videos!!!

[@Marylynnsauro]

I agree about not checking in on line. Haven’t stayed there but so many of my Orlando based friends love the resort and the Mardi Grogs bar!

[@wrightdownmainstreet]

Mardi Grogs was super fun! I’ll def be back

[@samd7003]

Loved this style of video ! Would love to see more vlog style videos mixed in with a food review 🥰

[@lauraa2484]

My sister and I were there 2 weeks ago and we made a special trip from Yacht Club just to try the Halloween beignets because you said they were so good. We really enjoyed them and so many people were ordering them. Love your videos!

[@MJD123]

The drama over the final beignets! I felt it!!! 😢😅 We're staying at Riverside next week, and i'm so mad i didn't plan better to be able to hop over and get them! And how cool is the pumpkin decorating contest?! The new rooms are great, too! Thanks for showing us everything!

[@klimo13]

Really nice video enjoyed this style, also nice earrings! Thanks for the videos

[@junebug58]

Many years ago, we used to stay @ Riverside when it was Dixie Landings (actually still have a t shirt from there) and Boatrights was my fav❤ It was an Awesome Steakhouse then😊❤

[@RaeHale-vm5vl]

French Quarter is our favorite moderate resort. We haven’t strayed there since 2009 when we bought DVC. I really do miss it. I think I NEED some of that shrimp and grits. Super impressed that it’s made fresh to order. Yum!

[@sharonsmith9250]

I like seeing the gift shops

[@deidrejordan2761]

Hi Kristen, thanks for the room check in tip 😉

[@DanTheMan1973]

Just a note, even if you check in with the app, when you get to the resort and don’t like your room location you can ask for other options. We’ve done this on our past two trips and they have been able to find something better for us.

[@deidrejordan2761]

@ cool, good to know thanks

[@meganmerson7969]

Staying here for 1 night in January before we move over to Wilderness Lodge for 2 weeks and I’m so excited! Cant wait for those shrimp and grits and beignets!

[@IndianaDirtFan]

The stand was a Drink Bar when the pool was under refurbishment earlier this year. Very good strong drinks😊

[@jenn-276]

This is my favorite resort, thanks for this fantastic video!

[@simplyadventures1732]

Love a good shrimp & grits. Love that they make it fresh!

[@AngieMagz]

Your review of the beignets made me want them and you were so on point - they're so freaking amazing!!! Gonna miss them 🥲🥲

[@danigirl4825]

Love sassagoulas shrimp and grits!

[@tamara8349]

POFQ is one of our favorites also - I didn't even know they were updating the rooms though! Fancy!

[@Tinable]

They'll be back next year. That final last bite. I heard TAPS playing in the background. lol. Great video. I will be a riverside next week. Can't wait to have the regular beignets.

[@thezachman]

Your obsession with those beignets is crazier than Angela’s obsession with charcuterie! 😂😂❤️

[@wrightdownmainstreet]

😂😂

[@andreaannscreations1629]

❤my favorite dish there Shrimp&Grits

[@elainelovesflorida]

Love this video! Port Orleans French Quarter has always been my favorite moderate resort❤ That hut you saw used to be for bike rentals. At least it was years ago. Now you need to try the Shrimp & Grits from Boatwrights’s too. It’s SO good!

[@wowredwing]

Our favorite resort! Can't wait to stay there again in March. :D

[@debrakrook1045]

We were cracking up at the music in the background when you were eating the Beignets 😅 it was like sad jazz! Love the FQ!

[@MJD123]

😆 yes- i thought the same thing! It's like the soundtrack knew it was a sad moment! 😅

[@wrightdownmainstreet]

Sad music for a tragic time

[@MelodyTallmage-t5t]

Loveing it thank you besty ❤❤❤

[@paulciavardoni8069]

That French Onion soup looked delicious!

[@paulciavardoni8069]

You’ve gotta get to New Orleans! Best food city I’ve ever been to!

[@wrightdownmainstreet]

I’ll get there soon!!

[@syerega]

Port Orleans the French quarter is my favorite hotel. As a single mom when my kids were little it’s such a small resort it was easy to carry a sleeping baby after a long park day. I have been to New Orleans and I would rather go to Disney.

[@angelaterranova1577]

Kristen, you really need to visit New Orleans - the food is amazing all over the city!! Be a great vlog series.

[@eddiej-311]

Went last week, took the boat to grab the Halloween Beignets, so worth it!!! also Flying fish so on point, amazing dinner!

[@kathyjordan9539]

You and your family should go to new orleans you will love it😊

[@leahelkins4212]

My favorite resort❤️❤️

[@Traveler-nu8xc]

POFQ is my absolute favorite! I was going to stay there in December with my twin granddaughters but then my daughter and youngest granddaughter wanted to come so we needed the 5th sleeper. Staying at Riverside but my heart will be in FQ.

[@biancapassaro]

The way I cackled at the cut to breakfast 😂😂😂😂

[@colleen5156]

We stayed at FQ last December and loved it. Don’t think I’ll ever stay anywhere else!

[@flesh4lulu475]

A few years ago, they had shrimp and grits at Pop and they made it to order as well. I didnt expect much out of it, but it was quite good!

[@cindycharming7993]

We knew you would get the French Onion Soup 😂 Onions give me heartburn but you always make it look so good I may have to try it sometime!

[@SandraLovesSun]

Hi!! Yay fun on my lunch break!! 🎉❤🙏

[@danielbierwirth6584]

Yes the food is the same but I think it's a little bit better

[@joerudnik9290]

I really hate the white bedspreads. I don’t think it ties into the rest of the room colors. The must wash them often, which I would assume is good. Perhaps makes the rooms more expensive, but far more clean.

[@Miche353]

Cute earrings! Happy Halloween! You gotta get yo'self to New Orleans girl!

[@Brave-z-12]

I love the French Quarter, it’s my favorite moderate! The update is great. The food court however, needs a remodel. It’s due for an update!

[@hihitahune5837]

thank you for sharing us your experience I am from New Zealand know one day I would love to go where you are dreams are free your videos make me so happy like I am viewing what you do ty so much am a big fan to your videos

[@joerudnik9290]

Toilet open as you come in??? No way, I was motel maid once, never left it like that.😮

[@Debber0401]

Those beignets look so good, but can’t you buy some and freeze ‘em? As for the horse drawn carriage, when there’s a horse around, always keep an eye out for the land mines, lol!!

[@kathyjordan9539]

I live in new orleans and shrimp and grits is my go to love oh and red beans or white beans and rice yummy ❤

[@wrightdownmainstreet]

New Orleans seems to be a foodie heaven

[@wowredwing]

I don't know what that square kiosk "used to be," but it was used recently as the pool bar when the pool and Mardi Grogs were under renovation.

[@Jeff-bv1ek]

You focused on the "parking lot" view, but I think that was a pretty nice little garden in front of it.

[@barbarapond1510]

No tub for babies and toddlers eeeekkkk. Very pretty room and decorated very nicely.

[@TheCuttingBoard1971]

I always check in on the app and my room is always ready early.

[@jen_dinsmo]

Happy Halloween! Great video, don’t blame you for getting the beignets twice lol. If I could eat them (I’m gf) I would absolutely do the same 😆

[@Jen-Fo]

Do they do a specialty beignet in April? 🧡🧡

[@marlareid883]

POFQ is my favourite resort on Disney property.

[@wrightdownmainstreet]

You can’t beat the food at French Quarter!

[@TheCuttingBoard1971]

I’m staying there in a few weeks.

[@nancy-d2m2j]

I am with you Kristin. Love blackened food, and cannot stand fowl tasting, mushy rice. Noticed that Disney has been cutting a lot of corners, lowering quality of everything, yet raising prices beyond my means.

[@claudiatighe514]

I have seen the tent used for a race day at other places like it but I’m not sure about this one

[@wrightdownmainstreet]

Ohhhh interesting! There’s a race coming up this weekend too so maybe it will be uncovered

[@katieschatz3011]

Can you get them and take them home and freeze them?

[@JNM1009]

French quarter used to have French toast with a berry compote and it was so good!! I was so upset when I found out they got rid of it. I hate that all the resorts have a very basic menu for breakfast now (for quick service). It’s my favorite meal of the day. Saratoga still has the French toast strata that I like. But most resorts are very basic these days

Amazing resort but can't believe you didn't go on a night when YeHaa Bob was there. He adds so much to the resort.

[@wrightdownmainstreet]

I’ve been many times before & it’s really fun! A very unique Disney experience

[@Ch-st6xi]

Im staying here ‘ how do i get this room!!!

[@roxyloveslucy]

Very nice! But what if Cake Bake got asked to do a wing of rooms at a Disney hotel? I’d faint!

[@angela333a]

I think you could rent bikes and fishing poles there. Don’t think it was a bar.

[@toniehrlich4591]

I still will NEVER understand paying for rooms that I am not even allowed to occupy for 24 hours! What the heck!

[@michaelbouley4918]

we always have a hard time casting. good to know youtube isnt allowed. too bad disney plus is not offered on the tv at all disney resorts without a membership

[@jay6830Eb]

It is SO PATHETIC that Disney uses all that packaging for a omelette & tater tots!

[@esta8651]

I’m watching this too late to try the beignets this year 😭

[@pinayee]

You pulled a Nate by going under the bed 😄

[@jenny71WDW]

wish they got rid of those old under window AC units.😢 the colors/decor looks better for sure. But no tubs ? Most families need those so maybe they have some with tubs?

[@ChickenPerm]

Looks like an old motel 😬 would hate to see the actual old rooms. Great video!

[@Just_Nita-i2q]

Begins are the best in Wdw and even better than in NOLA

[@kristanewcomer2741]

Lol I think those are the worst Beingets. Even my kids hate the Halloween ones

[@CallardAndBowser]

$17.50 for a $6 dollar cocktail ??!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
