Disney’s Moderate Level Resorts offer a delightful balance between luxury and affordability. They are a top pick for guests looking to experience the magic of Disney without breaking the bank.
These resorts provide enhanced amenities, immersive theming, and a wide variety of recreational activities to create a memorable stay. Here’s an updated look at what makes Disney’s Moderate Level Resorts a fantastic option for 2025
Before we get started, I have a recommendation. Use a travel advisor who specializes in Disney destinations for your trip to the Disney theme parks.
A Perfect Middle Ground
Moderate Resorts bridge the gap between Disney’s Value and Deluxe categories. They offer more spacious accommodations (approximately 314 sq. ft. compared to 260 sq. ft. at Value Resorts).
Also, they offer better dining options, and expanded recreational features. Most importantly, they provide this with an average savings of $200–$300 per night. This is compared to Deluxe Resorts, depending on the season.
Themed Immersion
Each Moderate Resort features immersive theming and special offerings:
Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort
A tropical getaway divided into island-inspired “villages” with sandy beaches and palm-lined pathways. With fifth sleeper rooms, this is a great pick for families of five. You also have Caribbean inspired dining at Sebastian’s Bistro to elevate that feeling even more!
As one of the Disney Skyliner resorts, Caribbean Beach offers quick and scenic access to both EPCOT and Hollywood Studios.
Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort
This resort is inspired by Spanish, Mexican, and American Southwest cultures. It features tranquil lakeside views. It has stylish architecture and a long list of recreations. Don’t miss the Gran Destino Tower, where you’ll find modern, upscale rooms including Club Level amenities. That’s a rare luxury at a moderate price point.
Guests can also enjoy activities like Sangria University, mosaic tile art, and painting classes, all right at the resort.
Disney’s Port Orleans Resort – Riverside
Step into the charm of the Louisiana bayou, where stately mansions and rustic lodges line the Sassagoula River. Royal Rooms are available for guests who want to feel like Disney royalty, with elegant princess-themed décor throughout
Enjoy boating to Disney Springs. You can also experience horse and carriage rides. Enjoy live entertainment like Yee-Haw Bob Jackson in the River Roost Lounge.
Disney’s Port Orleans Resort – French Quarter
A compact and lively resort that brings the spirit of New Orleans to life! Get all that jazz, wrought iron balconies, and cobblestone paths. Guests can enjoy live jazz at Scat Cat’s Club, shared access to Riverside’s activities, and boat transportation to Disney Springs.
The resort’s compact size makes it easy to navigate and adds to its charm.
