🎷 If you LOVE Mardi Gras, Disney’s Port Orleans French Quarter is your resort. 🎷
This is one of Disney’s smallest resorts, and during Mardi Gras season it seriously shines. Think New Orleans charm, festive vibes, and just enough Disney magic without the chaos.
✨ French Quarter is BEST for:
• Families who love Mardi Gras energy & atmosphere
• Parents with toddlers and younger kids
• Guests who want short walks and a compact resort
• Families who enjoy quieter vibes with big personality
• Food lovers (yes… beignets 🥰)
🎉 Why it’s perfect right now:
The Mardi Gras theming, music, and colors make this resort feel extra special this time of year. It’s festive but not overwhelming — perfect if you want to soak in the season without feeling overstimulated.
💦 Toddler win:
The pool has a mild slide and one of the BEST splash pads on property. Easy to supervise, not chaotic, and ideal for little ones.
🚌 Good to know:
Transportation is bus-only, so strollers must be folded. BUT because the resort is small, buses are usually quick and easy — a tradeoff many families are happy with.
✨ Bottom line:
If you love Mardi Gras, charm, and a resort that truly works for younger kids — French Quarter is a chef’s kiss choice.
