The creator's attitude personality is 100% real, like she's saying: this is who I am. And I love it. Psychologists call it, being the AUTHENTIC SELF. What the smartest of us aim for. Her reviews are presented as if to a couple of friends and we are part of that group. She is unique and obviously enjoys life. Her reviews are like getting a video from a friend. Thank you.
Apart from the obvious service your fabulous review videos provide to people planning to visit Disney, I want to let you know how much pleasure they give me. I am 70 with health issues that limit both travel and food. I feel like I'm on an effortless vacation when I watch you. Thank you!
LOL I love how you were so sad about your last beignets then had them for breakfast the next morning 🥰. That is absolutely something I would do 😂 another great vlog Kristen 🫶
I really enjoy your videos. We are lucky enough to stay at the Grand Floridian every summer although last summer we tried the Riviera. We were not fans. The ambience at the GF is worth the price in our mind as it’s quiet, welcoming and beautiful to look at. The Riviera made me feel like I was staying in a casino hotel. I say this because we rarely branch out, so watching these videos allows a little glimpse into other hotels and restaurants, from a real person point of voice. We’ve now tried restaurants that we more than likely wouldn’t have tried if it hadn’t been for your reviews. We may even try a different hotel. So thank you for your reviews, they do make a difference.
Port Orleans French Quarter is our absolute favorite resort. We stayed there again this past August and are already booked for 2025. Thanks for the visit Home.
Every time we go to Disney we're taking the boat to Port Orleans for the beignets. But... this cornbread has captured my heart.❤ I love a good , moist cornbread with a lot of butter. This will be obtained on our next trip. Thanks Kristin!! 😋😋😋😋
Love this girl ! She is always so honest and that’s why I go to her for any and all food related reviews. I know what Vloggers aren’t going to be quite as honest because well we know why 😂Which I understand, but I definitely come here for the real deal. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
i LOVED the beignets when i stayed here. I'm obsessed with Tiana and my mom took me wdw for mothers day and we stayed at Port Orleans. definitely worth the experience imo
Thank you for visiting both resorts! I did not realize that French Quarter was getting a refurb. The rooms look so much nicer! Too bad about the tanned salmon!!!
Port Orleans has always been my favorite resort. I have stayed in many of the deluxe resorts and DVC rooms. But the theming and size of this resort is the best. And you can have beignets every morning. The jambalaya is also really good, too.
My sister and I were there 2 weeks ago and we made a special trip from Yacht Club just to try the Halloween beignets because you said they were so good. We really enjoyed them and so many people were ordering them. Love your videos!
The drama over the final beignets! I felt it!!! 😢😅 We're staying at Riverside next week, and i'm so mad i didn't plan better to be able to hop over and get them! And how cool is the pumpkin decorating contest?! The new rooms are great, too! Thanks for showing us everything!
lovely video, as someone from Louisiana, I would most definitely pick something that is authentic of the culture, like gumbo or jambalaya or red beans or fried seafood. Beautiful depiction of New Orleans. Thank you for sharing this.
French Quarter is our favorite moderate resort. We haven’t strayed there since 2009 when we bought DVC. I really do miss it. I think I NEED some of that shrimp and grits. Super impressed that it’s made fresh to order. Yum!
Staying here for 1 night in January before we move over to Wilderness Lodge for 2 weeks and I’m so excited! Cant wait for those shrimp and grits and beignets!
They'll be back next year. That final last bite. I heard TAPS playing in the background. lol. Great video. I will be a riverside next week. Can't wait to have the regular beignets.
Many years ago, we used to stay @ Riverside when it was Dixie Landings (actually still have a t shirt from there) and Boatrights was my fav❤ It was an Awesome Steakhouse then😊❤
Love this video! Port Orleans French Quarter has always been my favorite moderate resort❤ That hut you saw used to be for bike rentals. At least it was years ago. Now you need to try the Shrimp & Grits from Boatwrights’s too. It’s SO good!
Just a note, even if you check in with the app, when you get to the resort and don’t like your room location you can ask for other options. We’ve done this on our past two trips and they have been able to find something better for us.
POFQ is my absolute favorite! I was going to stay there in December with my twin granddaughters but then my daughter and youngest granddaughter wanted to come so we needed the 5th sleeper. Staying at Riverside but my heart will be in FQ.
thank you for sharing us your experience I am from New Zealand know one day I would love to go where you are dreams are free your videos make me so happy like I am viewing what you do ty so much am a big fan to your videos
Those beignets look so good, but can’t you buy some and freeze ‘em? As for the horse drawn carriage, when there’s a horse around, always keep an eye out for the land mines, lol!!
I really hate the white bedspreads. I don’t think it ties into the rest of the room colors. The must wash them often, which I would assume is good. Perhaps makes the rooms more expensive, but far more clean.
French quarter used to have French toast with a berry compote and it was so good!! I was so upset when I found out they got rid of it. I hate that all the resorts have a very basic menu for breakfast now (for quick service). It’s my favorite meal of the day. Saratoga still has the French toast strata that I like. But most resorts are very basic these days
wish they got rid of those old under window AC units.😢 the colors/decor looks better for sure. But no tubs ? Most families need those so maybe they have some with tubs?
we always have a hard time casting. good to know youtube isnt allowed. too bad disney plus is not offered on the tv at all disney resorts without a membership
I am with you Kristin. Love blackened food, and cannot stand fowl tasting, mushy rice. Noticed that Disney has been cutting a lot of corners, lowering quality of everything, yet raising prices beyond my means.
Kristen! I know this video is a few months old so you probably won’t see this comment, but do you know why Disney stopped selling the H2O bath products online? I haven’t been to a Disney resort since 2021, so idk if they even still sell them in the resort shops! This is the first time I wanted to give Disney my money and I wasn’t able to 😂

Her charming way of pointing out the smallest details that she considers fun or pretty is endearing.

I really enjoyed this video, it’s a little more vlog style vs just a food review. Would love to see more!
We enjoyed meeting you in the lobby of the French Quarter during our stay at our favorite resort! Glad you savored your beignets! Dan and Corey
LOL I love how you were so sad about your last beignets then had them for breakfast the next morning 🥰. That is absolutely something I would do 😂 another great vlog Kristen 🫶
This is me and my wife's favorite resort!! So peaceful and quiet. We will be there next month and can't wait!!

Good food and and a irish coffee this is perfect. The French quarter was a really good pick .looks so beautiful .
Your vlogs are terrific.

My favorite is the shrimp and grits. I couldn't believe how good they were.
You have such great and authentic content. I love it.
Love French Quarter and the updates look great! Also your earrings are super cute. Thanks for sharing! 👍
i LOVED the beignets when i stayed here. I'm obsessed with Tiana and my mom took me wdw for mothers day and we stayed at Port Orleans. definitely worth the experience imo
The cut to breakfast was great! Now I want all the beignets!
I love how great you’ve gotten at doing these videos!! Been watching since your first one, and your doing great
So glad you compare apples to apples and show examples shrimp and grits 30 plus vs 15 plus being better. Love your videos honest and down to earth ❤
Thank you for visiting both resorts! I did not realize that French Quarter was getting a refurb. The rooms look so much nicer!
Too bad about the tanned salmon!!!

I love the Shrimp Po'Boy there...Be back there in 3 weeks can't Wait!
My sister and I were there 2 weeks ago and we made a special trip from Yacht Club just to try the Halloween beignets because you said they were so good. We really enjoyed them and so many people were ordering them. Love your videos!
Absolutely favorite resort and I’m a DVC member!

Loved this style of video ! Would love to see more vlog style videos mixed in with a food review 🥰
Shrimp and grits are the best! Doesn’t get better unless you add cookies and cream beignets for dessert! Great review
The winning combo!
Staying here for 1 night in January before we move over to Wilderness Lodge for 2 weeks and I’m so excited! Cant wait for those shrimp and grits and beignets!
Your review of the beignets made me want them and you were so on point - they're so freaking amazing!!! Gonna miss them 🥲🥲
They'll be back next year. That final last bite. I heard TAPS playing in the background. lol. Great video. I will be a riverside next week. Can't wait to have the regular beignets.
I am so excited that you did this review as I am going to stay there in three weeks! Thank you for your great videos!!!
I agree about not checking in on line.
Haven’t stayed there but so many of my Orlando based friends love the resort and the Mardi Grogs bar!
Mardi Grogs was super fun! I’ll def be back
Really enjoyed this episode! Thank you so much ❤
Many years ago, we used to stay @ Riverside when it was Dixie Landings (actually still have a t shirt from there) and Boatrights was my fav❤ It was an Awesome Steakhouse then😊❤
You’ve gotta get to New Orleans! Best food city I’ve ever been to!
I’ll get there soon!!
We were cracking up at the music in the background when you were eating the Beignets 😅 it was like sad jazz! Love the FQ!
😆 yes- i thought the same thing! It's like the soundtrack knew it was a sad moment! 😅
Sad music for a tragic time
I don't know what that square kiosk "used to be," but it was used recently as the pool bar when the pool and Mardi Grogs were under renovation.
Love this video! Port Orleans French Quarter has always been my favorite moderate resort❤ That hut you saw used to be for bike rentals. At least it was years ago. Now you need to try the Shrimp & Grits from Boatwrights’s too. It’s SO good!
Great review, thank you!
We love POFQ! Our favorite moderate resort. The beignets are soooo good!
POFQ is one of our favorites also - I didn't even know they were updating the rooms though! Fancy!
The stand was a Drink Bar when the pool was under refurbishment earlier this year. Very good strong drinks😊
Your obsession with those beignets is crazier than Angela’s obsession with charcuterie! 😂😂❤️
😂😂
Kristen, you really need to visit New Orleans - the food is amazing all over the city!! Be a great vlog series.
Hi Kristen, thanks for the room check in tip 😉
Just a note, even if you check in with the app, when you get to the resort and don’t like your room location you can ask for other options. We’ve done this on our past two trips and they have been able to find something better for us.
@ cool, good to know thanks
POFQ is my absolute favorite! I was going to stay there in December with my twin granddaughters but then my daughter and youngest granddaughter wanted to come so we needed the 5th sleeper. Staying at Riverside but my heart will be in FQ.
Went last week, took the boat to grab the Halloween Beignets, so worth it!!! also Flying fish so on point, amazing dinner!
We knew you would get the French Onion Soup 😂 Onions give me heartburn but you always make it look so good I may have to try it sometime!
Really nice video enjoyed this style, also nice earrings! Thanks for the videos
Our favorite resort! Can't wait to stay there again in March. :D
This is my favorite resort, thanks for this fantastic video!
Your earrings look great!
The way I cackled at the cut to breakfast 😂😂😂😂
Love a good shrimp & grits. Love that they make it fresh!
That French Onion soup looked delicious!
thank you for sharing us your experience I am from New Zealand know one day I would love to go where you are dreams are free your videos make me so happy like I am viewing what you do ty so much am a big fan to your videos
I like seeing the gift shops
We stayed at FQ last December and loved it. Don’t think I’ll ever stay anywhere else!
A few years ago, they had shrimp and grits at Pop and they made it to order as well. I didnt expect much out of it, but it was quite good!
You and your family should go to new orleans you will love it😊
Those beignets look so good, but can’t you buy some and freeze ‘em? As for the horse drawn carriage, when there’s a horse around, always keep an eye out for the land mines, lol!!
❤my favorite dish there Shrimp&Grits
I love the French Quarter, it’s my favorite moderate! The update is great. The food court however, needs a remodel. It’s due for an update!
Love sassagoulas shrimp and grits!
You focused on the "parking lot" view, but I think that was a pretty nice little garden in front of it.
That Shrimp Po'Boy is 🤤🤤🤤🤤
Cute earrings! Happy Halloween! You gotta get yo'self to New Orleans girl!
Hi!! Yay fun on my lunch break!! 🎉❤🙏
I always check in on the app and my room is always ready early.
I live in new orleans and shrimp and grits is my go to love oh and red beans or white beans and rice yummy ❤
New Orleans seems to be a foodie heaven
Happy Halloween! Great video, don’t blame you for getting the beignets twice lol. If I could eat them (I’m gf) I would absolutely do the same 😆
I really hate the white bedspreads. I don’t think it ties into the rest of the room colors. The must wash them often, which I would assume is good. Perhaps makes the rooms more expensive, but far more clean.
Loveing it thank you besty ❤❤❤
My favorite resort❤️❤️
Yes the food is the same but I think it's a little bit better
Do they do a specialty beignet in April? 🧡🧡
French quarter used to have French toast with a berry compote and it was so good!! I was so upset when I found out they got rid of it. I hate that all the resorts have a very basic menu for breakfast now (for quick service). It’s my favorite meal of the day. Saratoga still has the French toast strata that I like. But most resorts are very basic these days
POFQ is my favourite resort on Disney property.
You can’t beat the food at French Quarter!
No tub for babies and toddlers eeeekkkk. Very pretty room and decorated very nicely.
Toilet open as you come in??? No way, I was motel maid once, never left it like that.😮
I have seen the tent used for a race day at other places like it but I’m not sure about this one
Ohhhh interesting! There’s a race coming up this weekend too so maybe it will be uncovered
Amazing resort but can't believe you didn't go on a night when YeHaa Bob was there. He adds so much to the resort.
I’ve been many times before & it’s really fun! A very unique Disney experience
Very nice! But what if Cake Bake got asked to do a wing of rooms at a Disney hotel? I’d faint!
I think you could rent bikes and fishing poles there. Don’t think it was a bar.
I’m staying there in a few weeks.
wish they got rid of those old under window AC units.😢 the colors/decor looks better for sure. But no tubs ? Most families need those so maybe they have some with tubs?
French quarter is my favorite. It’s quiet and just one bus stop. The boat ride down to Disney spring is amazing.
Can you get them and take them home and freeze them?
we always have a hard time casting. good to know youtube isnt allowed. too bad disney plus is not offered on the tv at all disney resorts without a membership
I am with you Kristin. Love blackened food, and cannot stand fowl tasting, mushy rice. Noticed that Disney has been cutting a lot of corners, lowering quality of everything, yet raising prices beyond my means.
Im staying here ‘ how do i get this room!!!
You pulled a Nate by going under the bed 😄
Looks like an old motel 😬 would hate to see the actual old rooms. Great video!
I’m watching this too late to try the beignets this year 😭
Kristen! I know this video is a few months old so you probably won’t see this comment, but do you know why Disney stopped selling the H2O bath products online? I haven’t been to a Disney resort since 2021, so idk if they even still sell them in the resort shops! This is the first time I wanted to give Disney my money and I wasn’t able to 😂
Sorry missed them
I still will NEVER understand paying for rooms that I am not even allowed to occupy for 24 hours! What the heck!
Lol I think those are the worst Beingets. Even my kids hate the Halloween ones
