Quick Verdict: Westgate Lakes Resort & Spa vs Disney's Port Orleans Resort French Quarter

When Westgate Lakes Resort & Spa wins: choose Westgate if you need multi-bedroom villas, extensive on-site recreation (seven pools, a paid Treasure Cove Water Park, mini golf, marina and a full-service Serenity Spa) or if you're traveling with a large family or group who want space and activities without leaving the property.

When Disney's Port Orleans Resort French Quarter wins: pick Port Orleans French Quarter if you want the Disney resort experience and theming, straightforward moderate-level rooms, easy Disney transportation and proximity to Disney Springs and the parks.

Bottom line: Westgate Lakes is a bigger, activity-packed villa resort that suits family groups and guests wanting pools and a spa on site; Port Orleans French Quarter is a smaller Disney moderate that’s better for guests whose priority is Disney access and themed ambiance rather than many on-site amenities.

Location: Westgate Lakes vs Disney's Port Orleans French Quarter

Westgate Lakes Resort & Spa – Location

Westgate Lakes sits on Turkey Lake in the International Drive/Convention Center area, handy for Universal, SeaWorld and I‑Drive attractions.

  • Address: 9500 Turkey Lake Rd, Orlando, FL 32819.
  • Close to International Drive attractions, restaurant row and Universal Orlando — the resort runs scheduled park shuttles.
  • Complimentary self- and valet-parking provided; no airport shuttle.

Great if you want quick access to a wide range of Orlando attractions beyond Disney.

Disney's Port Orleans Resort French Quarter – Location

Port Orleans French Quarter sits in Lake Buena Vista on a river with easy Disney transportation and short travel to Disney Springs and parks.

  • Address: 2201 Orleans Dr, Lake Buena Vista, FL 32830.
  • Within short travel distance of Disney Springs, Typhoon Lagoon and the Disney theme parks; complimentary Disney shuttles are available.
  • Smaller, walkable resort footprint compared with large villa properties.

Best-suited for guests focused specifically on Disney parks and resort convenience.

Rooms: Villas & suites vs Standard Disney rooms

Westgate Lakes Resort & Spa – Rooms

Westgate Lakes offers villas from studios up to five-bedroom villas intended for families and groups.

  • Room names include Room (Resort Select), Studio (Villa), Deluxe Villa, 1– to 4‑bedroom and larger villas — some units sleep large groups.
  • Villas include kitchen/kitchenette options and living spaces for families or longer stays.
  • Check-in begins at 4:00 PM; minimum check-in age is 21.

Choose Westgate if you need more space, kitchens or multi-bedroom layouts.

Disney's Port Orleans Resort French Quarter – Rooms

Port Orleans French Quarter offers standard Disney moderate rooms in a New Orleans theme with mostly 2‑bed configurations and accessible options.

  • Room types listed include Preferred Location and Standard Location variants (2 Queen Beds, King Bed options and accessible rooms).
  • Rooms are purposefully compact compared with villa-style options and focus on functional comfort.
  • Port Orleans has about 1,008 guestrooms; check-in details follow Disney’s property policies.

Good if you want a simple, well-themed room close to Disney without villa-style space.

Dining & drinks: Wide on-site choices vs focused Disney offerings

Westgate Lakes Resort & Spa – Dining & drinks

Westgate Lakes has several on-site restaurants, pool bars and in-room delivery aimed at families staying on-property.

  • Drafts Sports Bar & Grill (sports-bar menu), Sid’s Bistro (Starbucks coffee/ice cream), Cordovano Joe’s pizza and Marketplace & Deli.
  • Multiple pool bars (Citrus Breeze, Coral Reef and others) plus Treasure Cove water-park dining outlets.
  • Room service and poolside delivery available for villa guests.

More variety and casual dining options suitable for families and groups who plan to dine on-site.

Disney's Port Orleans Resort French Quarter – Dining & drinks

Port Orleans French Quarter focuses on one primary quick-service dining venue and a coffee shop plus a pool bar.

  • Sassagoula Floatworks & Food Factory serves as the main dining/food court option; a coffee shop/cafe and a bar/poolside bar supplement it.
  • Cooking-to-order breakfasts are available (for a fee); room service offered during limited hours per listing.
  • Fewer on-site restaurants than large villa resorts; many guests go off-site to Disney Springs or other Disney dining options.

Expect a smaller selection of on-site dining focused on quick, family-friendly service and Disney-style offerings.

Pools & signature amenity: Treasure Cove Water Park vs French Quarter pool

Westgate Lakes Resort & Spa – Pools & signature amenity

Water recreation is a core draw at Westgate Lakes, including a paid-access pirate-themed water park and multiple resort pools.

  • Seven heated outdoor pools and seven hot tubs plus four children's wading pools across the property.
  • Treasure Cove Water Park is a 161,000-gallon facility with dual 30‑ft waterslides, wave pool, lazy river and a Tiki bar — admission sold separately and restricted to on-property guests.
  • Extensive pool hours and lifeguard/water-park rules apply; family-focused safety policies are published.

If on-site pool and water-park time matters, Westgate is the stronger choice.

Disney's Port Orleans Resort French Quarter – Pools & signature amenity

Port Orleans French Quarter has a single themed pool and family-friendly pool area with a poolside bar.

  • Listing notes one outdoor pool and a children's pool with themed surroundings.
  • Pool area follows Disney moderate standards with lifeguards and family programming at times.
  • No on-site water park comparable to Westgate’s Treasure Cove is listed.

Better for guests who want a pleasant pool atmosphere after a day at the parks, not on-site water-park attractions.

Wellness & nightlife: Spa and activities vs quieter Disney evenings

Westgate Lakes Resort & Spa – Wellness & nightlife

Westgate Lakes includes a large Serenity Spa and many daytime activities; nightlife centers on casual bars and sports bar evenings.

  • Serenity Spa by Westgate is a 10,000‑sq‑ft full-service spa with 12 treatment rooms, sauna, steam room and a kids' spa menu; open daily 9:30 AM–6:00 PM.
  • On-site entertainment includes Drafts Sports Bar & Grill, poolside bars and family activities (mini golf, tennis, volleyball).
  • Fitness center, classes and personal training are available through the spa facilities.

Better if you want a full spa and scheduled on-site activities for daytime and early-evening entertainment.

Disney's Port Orleans Resort French Quarter – Wellness & nightlife

Port Orleans French Quarter offers quieter evenings with a pool bar and limited on-site nightlife; spa services are not published for this property.

  • Evening options focus on dining at Sassagoula Floatworks, the bar/poolside service and Disney entertainment off-property.
  • No full-service spa is published in the supplier listing for Port Orleans French Quarter.
  • Guests commonly use Disney resorts’ entertainment and visit Disney Springs for evening options.

Pick Port Orleans for quieter, park-focused evenings and Disney entertainment rather than on-site spa nightlife.
