Hotels around Disney World have been gradually reopening!
Port Orleans Riverside
Recently, we saw Disney’s Wilderness Lodge, and Disney’s BoardWalk Inn fully reopen. Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge and Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort will also fully reopen soon. But we hadn’t heard news about Disney’s Port Orleans Resort…until now.
Disney recently announced that Port Orleans Resort will reopen later this year! In information shared with travel agents, Disney noted that Disney’s Port Orleans Resort — Riverside will start welcoming guests on October 14th, 2021, and Disney’s Port Orleans Resort — French Quarter will start welcoming guests on October 28th, 2021.
Disney’s Port Orleans Resort — French Quarter
Guests will be able to book reservations beginning July 8th, 2021. We cannot wait to learn more about these re-openings, including details about what dining locations will be available when the hotels reopen. (Could this mean the return of Mickey-shaped Beignets?! Disney hasn’t made any announcements yet, but we’ll be on the lookout for more details!)

OMG my favorite resort! Ikm bursting with joy. I know it sounds silly but this is my “home” resort.
That is rediculous! Why are they waiting so long???
It’s already impossible to find a resort room because they have 1000’s of room closed.
You’d figure they open them up so they would be available for the 50th.
I’m so glad they’re reopening the Port Orleans resorts, especially French Quarter. I’ve stayed there several years and really enjoy it. I had been planning on going back this year but with the pandemic decided to delay my next trip next year. So now I can seriously start making plans.
Actually going to switch my resort from CBR to French Quarter for my trip in 04/22
What time is the earliest we can change a reservation? We are booked for December and would like to change to PO if possible
We love PO Riverside. It is so relaxing and has the boat ride to Disney Springs.
We love Port Orleans, especially French Quarter. Can’t wait to go back to our favorite resort!
FINALLY!!!!! BEIGNETS!!!!!!!!!
We have been waiting impatiently for our favorite Disney treat!!
Port Orleans Riverside our favourite moderate hotel. Glad its back maybe we can book our next Disney Vacation now.
Hooray French quarter is my favorite resort
Dawn, check it out now and see! It’s possible you’ll be able to access availability.
Love Port Orleans Riverside! Hope they bring back Bob Jackson!
