Disney’s Port Orleans Resort French Quarter sits on Walt Disney World property in Lake Buena Vista, Florida, with 1,008 guest rooms spread across seven three-story buildings along the Sassagoula River. The resort is modeled after New Orleans’ historic French Quarter, with cobblestone walkways, wrought-iron railings, and Mardi Gras-inspired décor throughout. Rooms run 314 square feet and include two queen beds or one king bed, a mini-fridge, in-room safe, coffee maker, flat-screen TV, iron, and hair dryer. The resort is classified as a Moderate-tier Disney property and draws groups who want on-site access to all four Walt Disney World theme parks via Disney bus transportation, plus water taxi service to Disney Springs along the Sassagoula River.

Dedicated meeting and event space at Disney’s Port Orleans French Quarter is limited, and no formal ballroom or conference facility data is publicly documented for this property. Groups requiring significant meeting infrastructure are better served by Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort, which is Disney World’s primary convention hotel. That said, French Quarter is well positioned for large leisure room blocks, incentive travel programs, cast/crew accommodations, and pre- or post-convention overflow housing, with 1,008 rooms available under one roof on the Walt Disney World campus.
