Disney's PORT ORLEANS RIVERSIDE RESORT Information & Questions

[winnie_516]

We caught a bus at POFQ around 7:00 - 7:15 am in November. Then we went over to POR (the only MK bus we shared) that got us to our 8:10 ADR with time to spare.

I'd like some spare time in the park too for pictures, so I'm thinking 7:15 should be ok. Thanks!!

Buses start at 6:30 every day.

I've been told that's been changed to 7am now.

If I have booked a Royal room (garden view, in case that helps), how long will it take me to walk to the POFQ food court? My love for beignets cannot be overstated.

If we wanted to be at the gates of MK at 8:20, would leaving POR at 7:45 be early enough?

Driving yourself?

About 10 minutes at a very leisurely pace.

No, buses

 

[dansdad]

No, buses

To be at MK by 8:20AM I would be AT the bus stop waiting by 7:15AM at the latest.

Yay. That's the answer I was hoping for.

I can't help you with the question as this is our first stay on site, but it's nice to see a kindred spirit. The main reason I chose POR was beignets. lol

I thought beignets were only at French Quarter, or has that changed.

No, you're correct. They are only at French Quarter.

Due to busing delays or waiting for the next bus? Isn't the ride 15-20 min?

Yes, the actual ride is 15-20 minutes. However, say you are walking up to the bus stop at 7:15 just as the MK bus is pulling away. The next MK bus should be there by 7:35. Depending on which stop you get on, you will be leaving POR proper 7:40-7:45. Arrive at MK bus terminal 8:00 - 8:05. So a little earlier than you want, but I like to add in a little buffer just in case it is longer than 20 minutes between buses etc.

 

[LurlaDisney]

No, you're correct. They are only at French Quarter.

Yeah....I know they are at French quarter. My plan is to walk over to the POFQ food court at least once a day for beignets while we are staying at POR.

No, you're correct. They are only at French Quarter.

My family of 5 can't do POFQ, but that's okay. I'll say I'm working it off with the walk, even though I know that's not even close to the truth.

 

[keahgirl8]

No, you're correct. They are only at French Quarter.

But still...walking distance to beignets!

Does anyone know the days of the week that they offer the Pirate Cruises for the kids at POR?
TIA
