Port Orleans Resort is a beautiful place any time of year. Whether you\u2019re taking in the Southern feel of Riverside or enjoying the festive New Orleans vibe at French Quarter, you know you\u2019re in a truly unique setting.<\/p>\n

\nBut one day out of every year, Port Orleans is a little extra<\/em> festive. That day is Mardi Gras, and there is nothing quite like celebrating it with the Port Orleans Mardi Gras Parade!<\/p>\n

\"Port<\/a>
\nThis parade is like none other at Disney World\u2026 or any place else I can think of, for that matter. You see, this parade is put on by the Cast Members who keep things running every day at Port Orleans. Each department \u2013 from the Training Team to the Food and Beverage Team to Housekeeping (\u201cMousekeeping\u201d!) \u2013 decorates one of the Resort\u2019s golf carts in a given theme.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve attended the parade for three years now, and the creativity and enthusiasm of the Cast Members never ceases to amaze me! \u00a0The theme for 2014 was \u201cEvery Day is a Holiday,\u201d and you\u2019ve gotta see it to believe it!<\/p>\n

Since Princess Tiana calls New Orleans home, she kicks off the parade every year:<\/p>\n

\"Port<\/a>
\nThe Valentine\u2019s Day Float celebrated beloved Disney couples:<\/p>\n

\"Port<\/a>
\nThe St. Patrick\u2019s Day Float started with a cloud and found the lucky Pot of Gold at the end of the rainbow:<\/p>\n

\"Port<\/a>
\n\"Port<\/a>
\nI loved the Cinco de Mayo Float!<\/p>\n

\"Port<\/a>
\n\"Port<\/a>
\nThe Thanksgiving Day Float had a Buzz Lightyear balloon flying over everything… just like the Macy\u2019s Thanksgiving Day Parade!<\/p>\n

\"Port<\/a>
\nHappy Easter!<\/p>\n

\"Port<\/a>
\n\"Port<\/a>
\nWho doesn\u2019t feel like they should have a holiday on their birthday?<\/p>\n

\"Port<\/a>
\nThe Halloween Cast Members never got out of character.<\/p>\n

\"Port<\/a>
\nThe 4th<\/sup> of July Float was a stunner… a traveling Mount Rushmore!<\/p>\n

\"Port<\/a>
\nAnd, of course, they capped it all off by ringing in the New Year!<\/p>\n

\nWhile this fun parade is something you can only see at Port Orleans, it\u2019s not the only thing that makes these Moderate sister Resorts so special. You can catch live music at either Resort: on select nights, Tom Casey performs at French Quarter, and Yeeha Bob has been entertaining guests at Riverside for over 16 years. The Resorts are tied by the winding and beautiful Sassagoula River, offering a relaxing boat ride to and from Downtown Disney. French Quarter has something you can\u2019t find anywhere else at Disney World: their famous New Orleans-style beignets.<\/p>\n

And this only scratches the surface of everything Port Orleans has to offer and enjoy. Even if your trip doesn\u2019t fall over Mardi Gras, it\u2019s easy to celebrate every day here!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
