Disney’s Port Orleans Resort — French Quarter has been getting a bit of a refresh recently, and these changes have been a long time coming.
Port Orleans French Quarter
The room refurbishments currently going on at this hotel have been happening since May, and we’ve slowly seen the new rooms open back up to guests (you can check out a full room tour here!). But, just when we thought this project was close to being completed, Disney goes and delays the completion.
The updates taking place at Disney’s Port Orleans Resort — French Quarter were originally scheduled to be completed by the end of November, but it looks like that has now changed. According to the Disney World website, the project is now expected to last through Spring 2025.
New rooms at Port Orleans Resort — French Quarter
The room refurbishments have already been completed in some areas (Buildings 1 and 2), but there’s no guarantee you’ll get an updated room if you’re staying at this hotel over the next few months. We recently lucked out and stayed in one of the refurbished rooms recently, and we thought the changes were quite nice overall!

The beds have a gorgeous pattern above them, and we love the calming green color. The pattern features instruments such as drums and a trumpet. The throw pillow adds the perfect pop of color, and the rest of the room matches — check out our full review here!

Port Orleans Resort — French Quarter is a moderate resort hotel that is inspired by New Orleans’s historic French Quarter. The hotel is loaded with Mardi Gras spirit all year long and features a Mardi Gras-themed pool, jazz club, and even horse-drawn carriage rides! You can also stroll along the Sassagoula River to its sister resort, Port Orleans Resort — Riverside, or enjoy a boat ride to Disney Springs.
We’ll keep an eye on the refurbishment calendar and let you know if anything changes with this hotel update!

I have a reservation for March, if there are rooms unavailable due to refurbishment delays could my reservation get cancelled.
Multiple reports from the discussion boards indicate that the refurb has been completed for buildings 1, 2, 3, & 4.
Thank you.
