Welcome to a replica of New Orleans in Louisiana, from a haunted antebellum mansion to classic New Orleans style food at the French Market and Café Orleans. New Orleans Square opened in 1966 and was the first new land to appear since Disneyland's opening in 1955. Live music can be heard through the streets, and portrait artists await your arrival to draw portraits of you or your children. Don't forget the thrilling spectacular of Fantasmic!, which can be seen on weekends, holiday's and summer periods.
Tips:
If you are planning to visit this area around the Fantasmic show time, you may want to reconsider. Unless you have a battle plan worked out, it is very busy in this area during these evenings and you will more than likely get very frustrated trying to get around. You definitely still can get from place to place though, as long as people are following the directions of Fantasmic Guest Control Cast Members, everything runs at a pretty steady pace. This is also the best time to ride attractions in this area. Everyone is waiting for the show to start and no one is on any of the local attractions like Pirates of the Caribbean or the Haunted Mansion.
