Christmas is almost upon us, and for those guests spending a bit of time relaxing away from the parks there will be lots of fun and games at both Port Orleans resorts. As I mentioned previously, there are musical groups entertaining everyone in the lobbies daily in the run-up to the big day, and on Christmas Eve your kids (oh alright, the adults too) can meet with Disney characters at both resorts in the morning, and Santa will be making a special appearance at the Riverside Lobby in the evening.

I'll try to post more details closer to the time, but visitors travelling to the Port Orleans resorts over the Christmas Holiday period can expect some extra fun for all the family.

Port Orleans Riverside and French Quarter will both be hosting Disney Character meet and greets in their lobbies on Christmas Eve (24 December), with the white-bearded gentleman in the red suit also scheduled to make a personal appearance at Riverside on the 24th - presumably before commencing his vital overnight voyage.

There will also be local musical groups appearing the week before Christmas, presenting seasonal entertainment:
