Port Orleans Resort
The Disney Port Orleans Resort is based on the historic French Quarter of New Orleans. When you arrive at the Port Orleans Resort the entry is Port Orleans Square. The housing for the guest registration is called the mint and each window gives you the feeling of being in a bank at the tellers window. The music you will hear is "When The Saints Go Marching In." Stay here in mid February and experience Mardigras at Disney.
The rooms at the Disney Port Orleans Resort range from $124.00 per night up to $189.00 per night. Different rates apply to different times of the year. Each room has two double beds (except the rooms designed for travelers with disabilities). Up to four guests per room, additional charges apply if more than 2 adults. The rooms features include in-room wall safe, voice mail, data port on telephone, hairdryer, iron and ironing board, coffeemaker, and refrigerator (upon request and has a daily fee). About half of the rooms have doors that connect to a neighboring room. They can be requested but will not be guaranteed. If you want a room that connects this will be the best moderate resort to try.
