Worried about missing your flight to Disney World because of Hurricane Dorian?
Hurricane Dorian
Worry no more! With the recent shift of the hurricane away from the coast of Florida, Orlando Airport is opening its doors once again.
If you’re planning to fly out for a vacation at Walt Disney World in the next few days, you may want to think again.
Hurricane Dorian Precautions at Disney World
Just like Disney is taking precautions with park and resort cancellations, Orlando International Airport (MCO) is following suit to ensure the safety of passengers.
Whether you live in Florida, you’re vacationing in Disney World, or you like to keep in touch with the news — you’re likely keeping an eye on the Category 4 hurricane on its way to the coast.

Um. Boatwright’s is awesome.
During a recent trip, we were SO glad finally to have a chance to dine at this seems-like-it’s-been-there-forever-but-we’ve-never-eaten-there restaurant at Port Orleans Resort, Riverside, in Walt Disney World. The warm, relaxed feel of the space, coupled with some menu items I definitely wanted to try, made this a spot that we couldn’t wait any longer to check out.
Seriously, we loved it. This is the type of old school restaurant that’s right up our alley, so forgive me if I ramble on.
Since we were staying at Port Orleans French Quarter Resort next door, we decided to walk to Boatwright’s for our dining reservation. First up, we thoroughly enjoyed the easy, 10-minute stroll from the French Quarter portion of the resort to Riverside, where the restaurant is located.

And while this was our first official visit to Boatwright’s, Port Orleans has long been a favorite of ours. There is such a lovely “Disney Imagineering” feel to these resorts; there’s a lot of attention to detail, and there are so many activities that guests can enjoy. Plus, everything is contained in one compact space for ease of use.
You’re also really close to Downtown Disney while you’re here, so that’s definitely another big plus.
As you walk in, your eyes are immediately drawn upward to the huge, partially-built riverboat suspended above the check-in area. The boat (more about it in just a sec!) crowns the larger and more open of the two dining rooms.
The lofty space lets in plenty of natural light during the early evening of the dinner hour and truly appears to be the workroom of a shipbuilder.
