Disney's Moderate Resorts

The Moderate Resorts sit between Disney's budget Value Resorts and their Deluxe Resorts both in terms of price and amenities but like the Value Resorts they also have exterior motel style corridors though the clever theming disguises this to a large extent.

Most rooms have two double beds (some have a king sized bed) and will comfortably sleep a family of four plus a small child (under 3) in a crib.

Rooms are slightly larger than at the Value Resorts and suites are available at the Coronado Springs Resort.

Disney's Moderate Resort Room Rates

Prices start from $149 per night for 2009/2010 in the low season up to $274 in the holiday season (excluding taxes) based on two adults in the room.

If you are planning on spending a lot of your time at the parks, prefer more choice when it comes to eating and have a better budget, then a Moderate Resort may well suit.

Like the Value Resorts, there are very large resorts and there can be a lot of walking involved around the resort.

Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort is situated between Disney's Hollywood Studios and Epcot, Disney's Coronado Springs Resort is near Disney's Animal Kingdom and Disney's Port Orleans Riverside Resort and Disney's Port Orleans French Quarter Resort are both between Epcot and Downtown Disney.

Like all Disney Resorts each one has its own theme.

They each have a food court and most also have a table service restaurant, a pizza delivery service, a lounge bar and snack bars located by the swimming pools. There are both adult and children's swimming pools and there is also an amusement arcade and access to other activities such as boating.
