The Port Orleans Resorts are probably the most subtly themed and yet most detailed of any of the non-deluxe Walt Disney World resorts. Less garish than the Value resorts and more picturesque than the other Moderates, the Walt Disney Imagineers who designed Port Orleans achieved some superb results with their beautiful and evocative Southern design concepts. For Disney trivia buffs, or if you just want to find out a bit more background information about the design and building of the hotels and their grounds, please visit the Facts & Trivia page.
Since the twin resorts of Port Orleans and Dixie Landings first opened their doors to guests back in 1991/92 they have seen a number of changes - not least of which was the merger and renaming of the two resorts in 2001 when the Dixie Landings moniker was consigned to the history books. Please see our Resort History page for more details.
As I continue to develop and add to this website, a list of what’s new - and also a log of older resort news - can be found on the Site Updates page. Oh, and I’ve added some page access counters, just in case anyone but me is interested. (At the moment, Riverside seems more popular than French Quarter, but then it is the bigger resort)
