Remodel coming soon for Sassagoula Floatworks and Food Factory

Beginning July 11th, 2016, Disney's Port Orleans French Quarter's food court, Sassagoula Floatworks and Food Factory will be closed for a remodel.

It is set to re-open in Fall 2016, but no date/month has been released yet.

Scat Cat's Lounge will be open and available for guests to purchase the gumbo, jambalaya, many other offerings: hot and cold...and no worries!
The beignets are not going anywhere!!!! Yes! You will still be able to get those!

Don't forget you can order in-room pizza delivery (4pm until midnight)!!

If you want to venture over to Disney's Port Orleans Riverside, you can walk, or bus transportation will be offered during the closure (7am until midnight).

We are a little bit excited about this closing, because we are pretty fond of Sassagoula Floatworks already...so if something better is coming...then yay!!!!

It’s Lovely Weather To Book A Sleigh Ride Together With You at Walt Disney World!

Mark Beatty, Worldwide Ranch Animal Operations Manager , from the Disney Parks blog posted:


Outside the snow isn’t falling, but friends are calling, “Yoo hoo… Now is the time to make your reservations!”
You may think it’s too early, but now is a great time to book your holiday sleigh ride at the Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground!
Holiday sleigh rides begin on November 28th and run nightly through December 30th. Each sleigh holds up to 4 adults (or two adults and 3 children). The 25-minute sleigh ride is $70 per sleigh and includes 1 collector’s pin per reservation.
As we await the holiday season, the Tri-Circle-D Ranch offers plenty of year round activities to keep you busy. Guests over nine years old can enjoy a 45-minute horseback ride through Florida’s natural wilderness, and for the younger riders, pony rides are a great introduction to our 4-legged equine friends!
If you just can’t wait until the holiday season to relax, carriage rides are offered throughout the year at Disney’s Fort Wilderness and Campground and Port Orleans Resort!

Port Orleans Riverside Fishin' Hole

Cane Pole Fishing

Port Orleans Riverside features an old-fashioned Fishin’ Hole that’s fun for the whole family, located on Ol’ Man Island just behind the Muddy Rivers pool bar. The fishing hole is open from 7:00am until 1:45pm (last poles hired out at 1:15pm) and is stocked with catfish, blue gill and bass. Children under the age of 12 must be accompanied by an adult. All fishing at Walt Disney World Resort property is “catch and release” only, but you’re welcome to take pictures to prevent those “big fish that got away” stories later.
