Yes, they are. Andre

Usually at least one of the machines is available all night. Andre

For those who are asking, the kids' splash pad has not yet re-opened, nor has the main Mardi Grogs location (still using the extra space nearer the river). There is still work going on with the seating area between them. As has been said, the hot tub was already open though. Andre

The French Quarter swimming pool should be open again tomorrow (Saturday) just in time for Easter. Andre

It's very close now. There was some talk that Mardi Gros would be opening on or around 1st April, and I suspect they might even be pushing for the Easter weekend if they can. Andre

I'm hearing Building 1 will be the first, due to start in May. Andre

The TVs in Royal Rooms are not the latest 55" Samsung smart sets (almost rimless) that have been installed as part of the refurbs in the other room types. They wouldn't fit inside the decorative enclosure on top of the drawer unit. However although older, they do support some interactive...

Royal Rooms have not been refurbed in the latest round of updates as yet, so doubtful. Andre

The boats finish at 11pm outbound, 11:30pm last return from Springs. The occasional tooting of horns has never bothered me in River View rooms, I don't really notice it with the door shut. Andre

Yes, on Sundays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. Times vary a bit seasonally depending on when it gets dark. https://www.portorleans.org/recreation-schedules.php Andre

My specific interest is in Port Orleans resorts, and having just checked the current rates on the booking website vs. the data I scraped from the same site two months ago (https://www.portorleans.org/PortOrleans-RackRates-2024.xls) then for any given 2024 night, the prices have gone up by...

That's a bit naughty. Time was that once they released the rack rates for particular dates, that was the final price (unless they offered discounts). I've not noticed them sneaking in mid-term increases! That messes up my Port Orleans spreadsheet. :( Andre

There is a free shuttle pargo (aka golf-cart) service from FQ to Riverside which will take your straight over to the pool area and back. Or it's a very nice 10 minute or so walk. If you want to explore a bit, and maybe avoid some of the crowds, the quiet pools at Riverside are nice too - I...

Yes, seems like this time they've released bookings with start-dates until the of the end of October, with extra time allowed for length-of-stay until the end of November. How randomly bizarre, not even until end of September which would have made sense as the close of their financial year. Andre

Which is odd, normally I thought confirmed bookings were a maximum of 499 days in advance, which would take us to mid-July 2025? Andre

Going by previous refurbs, probably about a month per building. Andre

Work on the guest rooms will begin in May. Will only be one (unoccupied) building at a time, so shouldn't really impact your stay. Andre

Nothing to stop you, unless the activity occurs on the pool deck area which might be restricted to resort guests only at places like the Yacht/Beach, Poly, etc. Andre

This year's February schedule for Riverside is: Andre

That is LAST February's schedule (Feb 2023). I wonder where that popped back up from? Andre
