Your Guide to New Orleans Square at the Disneyland Resort

Loosely based on 19th-century New Orleans, Louisiana, New Orleans Square at the Disneyland Resort is truly unique. In fact, it can’t be found in any other Disney theme park. Its first major ride was Pirates of the Caribbean, followed by the Haunted Mansion two years later. Needless to say, these rides are still considered to be favorites among park-goers, young and old. And it’s also worth mentioning the restaurants… the most famous being the Blue Bayou Restaurant located within the Pirates of the Caribbean ride itself.
