I’d made a quick stop at the food court. I tried the beignets, but couldn’t finish them – they aren’t the best option before exercise (but very good!) There was skim milk in the food court, as well as fruit – which I also had.

I sat underneath this guy. What a face to see in the morning!:

I didn’t take a lot of food court photos – but it is a festive atmosphere, much different than Port Orleans Riverside:

There is a lovely area off the lobby which has jazz some nights of the week:

I’ll have a couple of lobby photos at the end of part II. The lighting wasn’t really great for photos at this time!

I actually started the walk from this fountain, which is beautiful and reminds me of Paris! To get here, it was a 2 minute walk from the food court – going out the back of the main building, to the right on Rue D’Baga, left on Rue D’Blues, right on Jazz Alley, and left on Pontchartrain Way:

From the fountain, I started at 9:18am.

It was a short walk to the water, down this “street”:

The gates out to the path that takes you down the river to POR:

I turned left on Carriage Path – and while I’m taking photos off of the boat depot and pool, Carriage Path is the path I’m staying on for walking:

The boat depot:

The boat ride to Downtown Disney is actually very relaxing (at the times it runs, I’m here too early!):

It took me only 2 minutes to get from the Fountain to the pool – it is now 9:20, the pool is on the left (I took the photos over an hour earlier, I didn’t stop to take any photos as I was timing the walk):

The pool features a dragon slide, and is very popular with kids:

Nice towels, I have no idea who they belonged to:

Continuing on the path:

The first bridge, I arrive there at 9:25am:

I am going towards Riverside:

I really love walking in the morning, with the reflections in the water:

Now coming up towards Port Orleans Riverside:

I’ll be on the other side of the water later:

I arrived at this bridge at 9:28am:

The path keeps going, but you can see the front of Port Orleans Riverside here, off to the left:

The bridge to the right:

Looking across the river:

Coming towards the hub of the resort (where much of the activity takes place, and the food court is – the arcade is on the left):

Surrey bikes – I get here at 9:29am:

Boats docked:

Some drawings by kids:

One of the number of bridges that leads across the river – that is where I’ll be going eventually:

Carriage rides leave from this area nightly as well:

POFQ photos Written by Yvonne Friel, on 08-05-2009 03:06 Thank you so much for posting these photos. The resort looks great and I love your descriptions of where you were when you took them. It really helps to get a better feel of where everything is.

Written by Matthew Webber, on 06-09-2007 16:54 Thank you so much! We stayed in the French Quarter in February, but managed to catch a nasty throat/chest virus on the flight over from England Despite feeling awful, we still had a great time, but didn't take half the pictures we wanted to. You took 'em for us Report
