Disney hotel with balcony

I would love a Disney room with a balcony, does anyone know which resorts would have these?

Having been really spoilt in the past staying in DVC and the Poly we have had one and love having a morning coffee and evening beer (or 2) sat outside.
I have booked Port Orleans for next yr so if anyone knows if there is outside seating that would be a good alternative.

Our first Disney onsite stay was at OKW, and went back 3 times...the balconies were great, coupled with the self catering facilities so you could have breakfast / beer and snacks on the balcony.

We are staying at POR for 2nd time nest year, maybe, and I like the bar a the main pool for an evening drink, looks to have nice seating area. We like the quite pools too at POR...guess can have drinks/snacks there (no life guards)...main pool you can have drinks on the edge - so should be same for smaller pools.

You need a deluxe hotel or dvc villa if you want a balcony.

We don’t use them very often to be honest.

At the moderates, I have sometimes seem people bring their chairs outside onto the walkway.

Wilderness Lodge has balconies, but they’re very small. Big enough to fit a chair or two and that’s it.

You’d need a deluxe resort for a balcony.

In terms of POFQ the grounds are lovely. There are benches around the squares and outside seating at the food court. We found it a really chilled resort especially in the mornings.

Not all balcony’s are created equal 😊

We stayed at OKW and the balcony was massive, plenty of space for a table and 4 chairs. The balcony we had at the Wilderness Lodge was small, I think it had 2 chairs and a small table but the Beach Club balcony was tiny and only had 2 small chairs and that was a squeeze.

The only balcony we really got good use of was at OKW, the others were either too small or, in the case of WL, too many beasties (this was before they cut down the trees so it might not be any issue now).

POFQ is a lovely, relaxed resort, we didn’t sit outside at our room there but the ‘outdoor corridor’ faced onto the the river and some of the other rooms brought their chairs out in the evening.

Oh, I wish I was there now.

Wilderness Lodge had a great view of the fireworks and the castle lit up while enjoying a glass of wine. had 2 or 3 chairs and a small table just room to walk round them and sit down though.
