Quick Verdict: Disney's Port Orleans Resort French Quarter vs Disney's BoardWalk Inn

When Disney's Port Orleans Resort French Quarter wins: Choose French Quarter if you want a smaller, lower‑cost Moderate resort with strong New Orleans theming, easy boat access to Disney Springs, a single family-oriented pool with a 51-foot water slide, and easy walkable connections to its Riverside sister resort.

When Disney's BoardWalk Inn wins: Choose BoardWalk Inn if you want to be in the EPCOT/BoardWalk entertainment district for evening strolls, short rides to EPCOT and Hollywood Studios, more on-site restaurants/bars, a full-service spa/health club, and Club-Level room options.

Bottom line: French Quarter is the Moderate, family-focused, value-minded pick with distinctive Mardi Gras character and a single lively pool; BoardWalk Inn is the more full-service EPCOT-area choice if you prioritize location, dining variety, and hotel amenities.
