Part II Port Orleans French Quarter / Riverside Photos
Written by Denise   
Wednesday, 18 April 2007

Part I left off right outside the Port Orleans Riverside food court, and I’m taking some photos inside before continuing the walk.

The food court had recently changed when I took these, the food is now more customized. Customized salads, pastas, and sandwiches – along with other items like pizzas and chicken tenders.

A few more photos inside the resort before finishing the walk:

The lobby:

Image

 

The River Roost bar area:

Image

Image

 

Back outside, the bridge I’ll be going over:

Image

 

The walk takes me this way at 9:30am – I am not counting the inside of POR as part of the walk, I took those in the afternoon during my lunch. So from the fountain at the Port Orleans French Quarter to the outside of the Riverside Mill took me 12 minutes.

Looking back, the wheel is where the food court is:

Image

 

I am heading to the left:

Image

 

I arrive at Ole Man Island at 9:31 (it’s very close to the food court):

Image

Image

 

Muddy Rivers pool bar:

Image

 

The view from the bar (the pool area was being cleaned, so I didn’t get more close-up shots):

Image

Image

 

A very short walk later, another bridge:

Image

Image

Image

 

I went off to the left, where part of Alligator Bayou is:

Image

Image

 

I get to building 27 at 9:33am:

Image

Image

 

As I’d be heading back to the food court this way (“all roads lead to the food court”), I’m turning around to go back to the Port Orleans French Quarter.

Image

 

The water is on the right side, on the opposite side of where I’d come in from:

Image

Image

 

I’m passing building 38 on my left at 9:35am:

Image

 

Passing the Acadian House:

Image

Image

 

Passing Magnolia Terrace:

Image

 

Looking down the river:

Image

 

And to my left:

Image

 

I’m still going straight, this is a pathway to the left:

Image

Image

 

I get to Oak Manor at 9:38:

Image

 

I arrive at Parterre Place at 9:40:

Image

Image

Image

Image

 

The walkway stops here, and I’m going to the right and over the bridge:

Image

Image

 

I’m surprised that surrey bikes come up here as it seems too narrow, but I’ll be going down and to the right, and back under the bridge towards the French Quarter:

Image

Image

Image

Image

 

Now heading back, with the water on my left side, at 9:44am:

Image

 

I took this looking back:

Image

 

I like the buildings and decor the French Quarter, they do remind me so much of Paris!

Image

Image

Image

Image

 

And my way out (and back home!)

I am staying at POR for the first time in May 09, so I really enjoyed the tour, and plan to do the walk as I explore. Thanks!
Your mom is great!

Hi Denise.  
Your mom suggested I check out your website...awesome! Great idea for pre trip orientation. 
 
She helped me plan a trip for my wife and mother in law and was a HUGE help. 
Thanks for your efforts.

Hi! 
 
If I was going to choose one of the two resorts for romance, I'd go with the Port Orleans French Quarter. I'm a big fan of French theming (and France itself), and it's a much smaller resort. I don't care myself for water views at the moderate, because there isn't a balcony to enjoy it from (though if you are on the 1st floor, it may be nice to take chairs out and enjoy the water). 
 
The POFQ is very tiny, nothing is more than maybe a 5 minute walk from the main building. 
 
Thank you to Fiona and everyone too!  
 
Thanks!

We have been looking for the right hotel to stay in when we visit florida in a year or two to get married. All the photo-walks are great, but this one left me crying, its perfect! Thank you for providing so much more of a feel to the resort than any brochures can.
Lovely Picture Walk

I don't know if you'll see this, but I just wanted to wish you a Happy 1st Anniversary! Make sure to spend some time walking the resorts at night - maybe get a carriage ride. They are beautiful!
