These resorts provide amenities, themes, and a range of activities that create a memorable stay.  More importantly, some of the resorts offers guest rooms that feature a fifth “sleeper” for more comfortable sleeping arrangements. Here’s a closer look at what makes Disney’s Moderate Level Resorts special. Before we get started, I recommend using a travel advisor who specializes in Disney destinations for your trip to the Disney theme parks.

A Perfect Middle Ground

Disney’s Moderate Level Resorts bridge the gap between the budget-friendly value resorts and the cost of deluxe resorts. They offer more spacious accommodations, more dining options, and a greater variety of activities compared to value resorts.  Standard Disney value resort rooms are approximately 260 square feet.  Moderate resort rooms are approximately 314 square feet.

Meanwhile, they are more affordable than Deluxe Resorts. This middle ground makes them an ideal choice for guests looking for comfort and a magical Disney experience.  The savings between a moderate and deluxe resort stay can be upwards of $200-$300/night.

Themed Immersion

Each Moderate Resort is uniquely themed. This provides guests with an immersive experience that extends beyond the theme parks. Here’s a brief overview of the Moderate Resorts:

Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort

Experience a tropical paradise! Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort is divided into several “villages” named after Caribbean islands.  Each features vibrant colors, sandy beaches, and swaying palm trees. The central hub, Old Port Royale, offers dining, shopping, and entertainment options.

Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort

Next, Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort draws inspiration from Spanish, Mexican, and Southwest American cultures. This resort features stunning architecture, beautiful courtyards, and a serene lakeside setting.

Disney’s Port Orleans Resort – Riverside

This resort transports guests to the picturesque Louisiana bayou. With its stately mansions and charming backwoods cottages, Disney’s Port Orleans Riverside offers a tranquil and romantic setting.

Guests can enjoy a leisurely boat ride to Disney Springs or explore the scenic pathways along the Sassagoula River.

Disney’s Port Orleans Resort – French Quarter

A smaller, more intimate resort, Disney’s Port Orleans French Quarter captures the New Orleans’ historic French Quarter. Cobblestone streets, wrought-iron balconies, and festive Mardi Gras touches create a lively atmosphere.
