We stayed at the French Quarter, I think no matter where you stay, you will love the Port Orleans feel. ; I loved the fact that you could take a boat ride to Downtown Disney, that was pretty neat. ; It takes about 15 minutes. ; Also if you are interested, Riverside has carriage rides that you may want to take. ; But you and your family are going to love it.
You also mentioned you were to Disneyland a few times, if you have anything to post in that section we would be happy to see it.
