Disney World Food Tour: What To EAT and What To SKIP at Port Orleans Resort! 

AJ, I second this!

We are doing the same exact thing in september!

That's one of my favorite parts of staying there. And gotta love Homecomin! Such good food!

the_2_Fangirls hope u had fun

CassReadsComix show him all the opportunities for adults

Especially during the food and wine festival! It’s a magical place for adults too.

We're a couple without kids and we are WDW fanatics! So much to do and we've been hooked since our first trip in 2007! Nowhere else has so much fun built into a vacation!

I dragged my boyfriend and he loved it! Disney is perfect for couples as Disney has something for everyone. I would recommend staying in Port Orleans French Quarter as its a more chilled and less child like resort. Plus you can get on the boat and travel to Disney Springs which has so many adult style and romantic restaurants. if your boyfriend likes sports they are about to open a giant sports bar so I'm sure that would keep him happy.

Gazwilliams thanks for the tip!!

As a diabetic myself, (type 2 and diagnosed over 2 yrs ago)I had to do Disney an entirely different way than I had in the past. I control mine thru medication and watch my sugar intake. This being said and I realize that type 1 is slightly different, perhaps I have some suggestions that might make it easier. 1. At any Disney Table Service Restaurant the manager and Chef can help accommodate your needs. For example: The chef at Yak and Yeti came to our table for two reasons, my diabetes and my husbands peanut allergy. He sat and talked to us about what we may be interested for food on the menu and explained what he could do to make it happen. Love this restaurant for this very reason! 2. Bring sugar free treats from home or order from Garden Grocer at www.gardengrocer.com/ prior to your trip. This way you can have yourself a treat just like everyone else.. They carry everything from organic and gluten free and sugar free to everyday regular items. 3. All the Disney parks have the "healthy" snack items. There is fruit and cheese selections in every park. For example: Hollywood studios - heading down to tower of terror on the left you'll find a quick service stand w/ your fresh items. hope this gave you some ideas. JMHO

I know it's been a year, but still. I am not diabetic, but I'm not too terribly interested in super sweet treats. I have a distinct limit per day. I had no end to the non sweet food options after I hit my limit.

Yes, the food is to die for!! I can attest to the burgers being amazing!! That one she showed in the video (Bayou Burger) is prime rib chunks on top of a burger, smothered in beer cheese sauce and topped with housemade sweet pickles on a hamburger bun. MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!! The prime rib just melted in my mouth and the sauce was delicious!! And I'm not a "pickle on a burger" person, but these actually complimented it quite nicely!! And you are right- the resort is pretty quiet! It's serene and peaceful and just gorgeous! Everything is very well decorated and dare I say, understated, but in a good, subtle way. Nothing sticks out like a sore thumb or screams in your face LOOK AT ME I'M A RIVERSIDE RESORT!!! like the All Stars and Pop sort of do (not saying they are badly decorated, but, they are very over-the-top). It's exactly like you are actually there, and it's the real deal- not a fake, themed resort. And if you stand over the river on the bridge, you might just spot what we think was an otter flipping along the water one morning!!

The lobby has a VERY handy gift shop/store & the animals around the resort (frogs, lizards & a bunny) were neat.

If you have been in Sassagoula Floatworks and Food Factory since the remodel, you must have missed Mama Odie's bottles, the Mardi Gras beads, the giant playing cards, and other direct nods to the movie...

Ah, sweet! :)

We've stayed there 10 times and have 11 and 12 booked already. Can't beat it.
