Disney4me Posted April 2, 2018 Report Share Posted April 2, 2018 Today we’re bringing you a special Port Orleans Resort-themed What’s New! We always love an excuse to visit Port Orleans — French Quarter because of the beautiful landscaping, impeccably festive decor, and fun vibes. Port Orleans — French Quarter Just kidding. We mostly come for the Beignets. (But the other stuff is great, too!) Beignets at Disney’s Port Orleans French Quarter The food court at Port Orleans — French Quarter is dubbed the Sassagoula Floatworks and Food Factory, highlighting the resort’s location on the Sassagoula River and the colorful Mardi Gras-style float pieces that used to fill the space (you’ll still spot a few since the court’s reno in 2016). Sassagoula Floatworks and Food Factory Mardi Gras Parade Props Near the Ceiling At present, you’ll also spot this super-cute Bunny Cupcake in the case. The use of coconut might be a little expected, but we’re on board. Bunny Cupcakes! We also had a reader question recently about Po’ Boys at French Quarter. They aren’t listed on Sassagoula’s official DisneyWorld.com menu — prompting some panic that maybe they’d been removed. But they’re currently there for now. They may disappear later, but for now…they’re safe. Po’Boys are still on the menu! Po’Boys on the menu! The Catfish Po’ Boy we enjoyed a couple of years ago is still an option! That breading is stellar! Catfish Po’Boy In resort activity news, Painting on de’ Bayou is still available! This guided painting session is $35, and you get to take the resulting artwork home with you! We love that this souvenir is a one-of-a-kind experience, not just another thing. Painting on de’ Bayou And how awesome is the example they’ve got on display? Painting on the Bayou example At French Quarter’s pool bar — Mardi Grogs — guests can now pick up a fan-favorite snack! Mardi Grogs Pool Bar at Port Orleans — French Quarter The Pepper Jack Pretzel we’ve seen at The Lunching Pad in Magic Kingdom is now available here! We gotta say, this version is a little darker than what we’ve come to expect, but it looks as plump as ever. Pepperjack-stuffed Pretzels! Here’s The Lunching Pad’s version so you can see this beauty up close! Pepper Jack Pretzel And you can still grab a Mickey Pretzel here, too! Here’s to making those pool days hot and doughy! Beautiful Mickey Pretzel Over at French Quarter’s sister resort Port Orleans — Riverside, we’ve found two sweet additions. Outside The Riverside Mill at Port Orleans — Riverside Cheesecake topping options at The Riverside Mill now include Caramel! (Strawberry and Chocolate have been options for a while now.) All three are on display in the dessert case. Caramel added as a topping for cheesecake And guests can now pick up a Bayou Blender! This is Riverside’s name for milkshakes (and we love it!). They come in three flavors: Strawberry Cheesecake, Oreo, and Banana Pudding. One of each, please! Bayou Blenders available! And now, before we leave, a Sassagoula moment of zen, just because.
