Tour 98 Port Orleans Resorts vs. Caribbean Beach Resort

On Tour 98, I am joined by Tour Guides Diane Whiting and Mindy Muir and together we compare the Port Orleans Resorts (Riverside and
French Quarter) to Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort.  We all have favorites and that comes through during the discussion. 

Our goal is to give you as much information as possible to help you plan your next visit to the Walt Disney World area. 

Disney's Port Orleans Resorts and Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort are both moderate-level resorts at Walt Disney World, but they offer different themes and amenities.

Disney's Port Orleans Resorts consists of two separate but adjacent resorts: Port Orleans Riverside and Port Orleans French Quarter. These resorts are themed after the historic French Quarter and the antebellum South, respectively. The resort features lush landscaping, waterways, and cobblestone streets. The rooms are spacious, and some offer views of the Sassagoula River. Both resorts have multiple pools, and there is a scenic boat ride that connects the two.

On the other hand, Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort is themed after the colorful islands of the Caribbean, with each island represented by a different section of the resort. The resort features white sand beaches, swaying palm trees, and a tropical village atmosphere. The rooms are bright and colorful, and some offer water views. The resort has multiple pools, including a large main pool with a pirate-themed water play area.

In terms of amenities, both resorts offer similar dining options, including quick-service and table-service restaurants. However, Port Orleans Resorts has a more extensive selection of recreational activities, including fishing, bike rentals, and horse-drawn carriage rides. Caribbean Beach Resort, on the other hand, has a more extensive selection of transportation options, including the Disney Skyliner, which offers convenient access to Epcot and Disney's Hollywood Studios.

In summary, both Port Orleans Resorts and Caribbean Beach Resort offer unique theming and amenities, and the choice between the two may come down to personal preferences. Port Orleans Resorts offers a more serene, Southern-style atmosphere with more recreational activities, while Caribbean Beach Resort offers a vibrant, tropical atmosphere with more convenient transportation options.
