Greetings from down on the Bayou! (Well, the Disney version.) We’re coming to you from Port Orleans – French Quarter with a SECRET MENU treat!
Remember a few months ago when we discovered the Boozy Beignets at Scat Cat’s?? If not, never fear. Here’s a beautiful reminder…
For $8, you get three of the famous Sassagoula Floatworks and Food Factory Beignets, complete with pipettes full of your choice of liquor. They call these Baton Rouge Beignets (officially).
Walt Disney World is home to several moderate category resorts, but their food is far from moderate! You’ll find a wide variety of eats at each moderate resort from grab and go and pool bars to quick service and table service restaurants.
We wanted to bring you up to date on what’s going on menu-wise — and what a few of our favorites are! — at Port Orleans French Quarter and Riverside in case you’re traveling there soon!
The resort pays homage to all things New Orleans and Mardi Gras — which means beignets are plentiful here!
We’re coming back to you from Port Orleans Resort — French Quarter once again this week!
And this time we’re at the Resort’s indoor lounge, Scat Cat’s Club!
Just in case you missed it, we were just at this lovely Resort last week when the Beignets — a staple at Sassagoula Floatworks and Food Factory — took on their new Mickey-Shape!
And our trip today focuses around Beignets again… but of a different variety! New on the menu at the jazz-inspired Scat Cat’s Club are BOOZY BEIGNETS!
Hey, friends! We’re back with another DFB Video today, and we’re taking you to Disney World’s Port Orleans Resort (both Riverside and French Quarter) to let you know what you just have to eat during your visit!
A huge bonus for guests staying at Port Orleans Riverside or French Quarter is that they’ve got easy access to each location’s restaurants, lounges, and snacks. And since both spots have some terrific outside-the-norm options, this is great news indeed! From the Beignets at Sassagoula Floatworks and Food Factory to the noshes you can enjoy if you’re taking in a Yeeha Bob show at the River Roost lounge, there is a ton of great stuff to take in at Port Orleans. (And remember, Port Orleans is just a beautiful boat ride away from Disney Springs even if you aren’t staying at the Resort!) [Read more…]
If you have plans to stay at Disney’s Port Orleans Resort – French Quarter this summer, listen up! The resort’s quick service restaurant, Sassagoula Floatworks and Food Factory, is set to close July 11 for refurbishment.
But don’t fret — you’ll still be able to indulge in your old favorites!

Sassagoula Floatworks & Food Factory
— it’s a long name for dining spot, and kind of a tongue twister — but it has some unique menu items and is definitely worth a visit if you’re a beignet fan!
Or a New Orleans fan.
Or a Mardi Gras fan.
Or just like big, giant parade float heads hanging from ceilings.
Not sure what I’m talking about? Let’s take a look inside… .
Sassagoula is, of course, the river running through the resorts around Downtown Disney, including the sister Port Orleans resorts — Riverside, and French Quarter. Upon arrival at the Port Orleans French Quarter resort, a welcoming indoor courtyard complete with an ornate fountain creates a relaxing atmosphere.
If you’re hungry, you’ll find Floatworks — named as such because it’s themed after a warehouse storing Mardi Gras parade props — opposite the Registration area. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks are offered throughout the day.
Look closely and you’ll see some hidden dining references in the Sassagoula sign. Utensils, seafood, lemon, asparagus… what else?
A display reminds guests of their dining choices while visiting the Port Orleans resorts.
Here’s your first glimpse of the “floatworks.” Crazy, eh?
While the weird parade props have always disturbed me, some guests enjoy the whimsical decor. I understand the theme but find the decor outdated. (I’d love to see a refresh here). Of course, you’ll find whimsy around the resort — from Scales (the serpent pool slide) to jazzy tunes, the vibe is casual and relaxing. Just as it should be on vacation!
Entertain the kids with a game of “I Spy” while dining!
I do like the dining room’s dark wooden tables and mismatched chairs; it just feels cozy. Brick accents and lantern lighting adds to the quaint ambiance. In fact, the whole resort is a mixture of playfulness and charm.
Most importantly, the dining area and serving stations are kept very tidy. (During our stay, we did not find this to be the case over at the Riverside Mill.)
Artwork reflects the Cajun and Creole flavors on the menu such as the Gumbo and Jambalaya dishes served later in the day.
Take your breakfast to the adjacent Scat Cat’s Club for a quieter meal.
Inside the club, your morning meal can be savored with a dose of cartoons!
Guests on the Disney Dining Plan can use their quick service credits to redeem meals at breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
Snack options are also available!
Got a Rapid Fill mug? Head to the beverage island for hot and cold drinks!
At the Rapid Fill station, fill up on water, Sprite Zero, Barq’s Root Beer, Fanta Orange, Coca-Cola Zero, Minute Maid Light Pomegranate Lemonade, Coca-Cola Cherry, Sprite, Powerade Mountain Berry Blast, Hi-C Fruit Punch, Diet Coke, and Coca-Cola.
Breakfast
Breakfast here at Sassagoula often includes their “you-can-only-get-’em-here” made-to-order beignets. Many Disney guests visit this spot solely for these doughy treats.
