Hope of Hartford

Our favorite place to stay while we’re visiting Walt Disney World is the Port Orleans Resort – French Quarter. Everywhere you look there are quaint cobblestone streets, magnolia trees, gas lamps and wrought-iron balconies. You can sample Cajun and Creole dishes and listen to cool jazz. You can take a horse-drawn carriage ride along the Sassagoula, or a 15-minute boat trip to Disney Springs. There’s a huge splash pad, a secluded hot tub and a swimming pool where King Neptune reigns from atop a huge sea serpent. Everything is painted purple, green or gold. It’s pretty much Mardi Gras there all year long. I live in a town where the closest thing you can find to Fat Tuesday is the andouille sausage omelette at Mimi’s. But when this time of year rolls around, I don’t long for Rio or even New Orleans. I wish I was in Orlando.
