As you likely know, the cafe is a popular stop at Port Orleans French Quarter, especially for guests who want the resort’s beignets and a cup of coffee. Fortunately, those items will remain available during the temporary closure. As a reminder, guests visiting through the first of November can also find the seasonal Ghoulish Delight beignets at the resort’s quick-service restaurant.
Guests hoping to enjoy live entertainment while the lounge is closed might like to check the schedule for Yeeha Bob Jackson, next door at Riverside. Make sure to get there early; he draws quite the crowd.
As a reminder, Scat Cat’s Club Cafe last closed for refurbishment in late 2024. At the time, the location was closed for a little over a month. Then, the resort’s lobby underwent refurbishment in 2025. For other upcoming projects around the resorts, see our Disney Hotel Refurbishment Schedule.
