We stayed here in 2014 and we loved it. The only downside was the food was just okay (even the beignets). We loved the pool bar and the theming of the resort was so well done! The pool area was super cute and the boat to Disney Springs really came in handy! If you are a family who loves to end your days at DS this is a great pick for you!
Pros:
Boat to DS, great pool, awesome themingCons:

I’m not sure what it is about Disney and New Orleans but they belong together. The look and feel of this resort is great, the food is great, the beignets are great and the pool slide is short but very cool. Not only does this resort look nice it is also the only small Moderate Resort in Disney World so the buses going to the parks are never crazy crowded. The Sasagoola river runs along the back end of the resort where you can take a boat to Riverside or Disney Springs. The location of this resort is also great. It’s a short bus ride to everything. Even Magic Kingdom isn’t too far away.
Pros:
Great Location, small resort, amazing theming, boat ride away from Disney Springs, not over crowded busesCons:

I haven't stayed in every resort, or even the majority of them, but I absolutely adore this resort and don't really want to. The size is perfect - Even the 'furthest' room from everything isn't that far away. I have stayed there with family and just adults a few times and have had a blast each and every time. Highly recommended if you are looking for a quiet, smaller resort.
Pros:
Size, low noise levels, cute pool area, good quick service food options.Cons:
The only con I've experienced was at their 'grill' Waited over thirty minutes twice for grilled cheese and chicken tenders for the kids. Not a great experience.Reviewed by PoorNanaPoorFather Review Date: 02/10/2021

I love this resort. The theming is fantastic and it's so beautiful. It is close to Disney Springs, and the boat ride is very nice there. It is not too big. Easy to walk around. If you have kids, they will like the pool.
Pros:
Pool. Theming. Good quick service.Cons:
Bus stops sometimes merge with Riverside and can be a long drive. Otherwise, no really big tun-offs. Great resort.Reviewed by OpalFrootz Review Date: 01/27/2021

I had a wonderful time at this resort. The workers were always so kind to my family, and I loved that it was quiet on a night time, when I just wanted to collapse in my bed. Another good thing was the fact it was such a small resort, so there was only one bus stop and therefore most travel was much quicker than when you stay at larger resorts with multiple stops. One MAJOR plus is the boat taxi to Disney Springs, which was always such a lovely activity. The food court is pretty good, some of the food is so-so, but if you grab the beignets or the jambalaya, you're in for a treat! Also I love the theming and the music played throughout the resort.
Pros:
Very small, quiet on a night time, easy food location with child-friendly food available.Cons:
No sit down restaurant in addition to food courtReviewed by Anonymous Review Date: 12/31/2020

Absolutely the best resort we have stayed in at WDW. The atmosphere the ease of transportation to the parks. The rooms were beautiful much nicer rooms than we had at wilderness lodge. The price as a moderate is low when the accommodations are more luxurious than some of the luxury resorts
Pros:
The entire atmosphere and cleanliness of the entire resortCons:

We enjoyed staying at the French Quarter. The room was very nice and clean and the service you get from any of the resorts is top notch in my opinion. The pool and slide are fun. And the beignets are delicious.
Pros:
Beignets Pool and slide ActivitiesCons:
Not staying in a preferred pool room.Reviewed by Anonymous Review Date: 12/06/2020

This little, quaint resort is wonderful! My wife and I stayed here in May of 2019. This was my first time visiting WDW, so POFQ will always hold a special place in my heart. Between the Mardi Grogs, Scat Cats, and the food court--you better come hungry..and thirsty (for those older than 21)! The pool slide is so much fun. You can easily get on the boat and have a date night at Disney Springs. Oh, and the smell of the lobby is like no other!
