Walt Disney World has announced that more than 1,000 rooms at Disney’s Port Orleans Resort – French Quarter have now been refreshed, offering a new Mardi Gras flair for guests staying at the hotel. Here’s the announcement.
Port Orleans French Quarter New Rooms
When you stay at Disney’s Port Orleans – French Quarter, you’re instantly transported to the lively streets of New Orleans. Colorful building facades, grand walkways and lush greenery evoke the feeling of walking through the city’s historic streets.
Now, with over a thousand room refurbishments officially completed, there’s even more festive flair for guests to discover at this fan-favorite resort.
Throughout each room, colorful fabrics and patterns inspired by the city’s charming architecture bring the lively spirit of “The Big Easy” to life, just like the buildings’ vibrant exteriors.
You’ll also notice nods to Mardi Gras celebrations, including artwork featuring those iconic purple, gold and green beads.


New portraits add even more character, featuring Princess Tiana, Prince Naveen, Louis and Charlotte La Bouff from “The Princess and the Frog” all dressed in their Mardi Gras best and dancing through the French Quarter in style!

Take a close look at the intricate detailing on the bathroom door and mosaic-style pattern above the beds, and you might catch hidden details like Tiana’s sparkling tiara, as well as drums and trumpets — an homage to New Orleans’ jazz roots.

The refreshed bathroom is as relaxing as it is functional, offering plenty of storage options and a spacious counter — perfect for those mornings when the family is getting ready before a fun-filled day at the theme parks.
Outdoors, the theming continues with updated surfaces and vibrant designs throughout the newly refurbished Doubloon Lagoon pool area and Mardi Grogs pool bar, now featuring a brighter, more upscale look with airy blues, black-and-white tiles and wrought iron details. They perfectly weave in those recognizable New Orleans elements while complementing the relaxed poolside vibe.
“This resort is all about transporting guests to the heart of New Orleans, and the recent enhancements bring that story to life in exciting new ways,” said Diane Petit, General Manager, Disney’s Port Orleans Resort. “Everything ties back to the charm and culture that our guests love.”
