It is a challenge to figure out if you want to stay in a value resort or if you want to pay $30+ per night to stay at a moderate resort. Here are the 5 biggest differences between value resorts and moderate resorts at Walt Disney World:
1. Slides – The pools at the moderate resorts all have a slide for Guests to enjoy. If you plan to spend a lot of time at the pool, this can be an extra perk for booking at a moderate resort.
2. Table-Service restaurants – Most moderate resorts have a table-service restaurant. This is nice for a break from the hustle and bustle of the Quick-Service restaurant. My favorite table-service at the moderates is Boatwright’s at Port Orleans Riverside.
3. Lounges – If an adult beverage is your way to relax and unwind, all of the moderates have a themed lounge. Port Orleans Riverside is best known for Piano Bob who serenades Guests in the evening.
4. Queen size beds – Moderates are more about the comfort level for the Guests. Not only are the rooms 30% bigger, but the beds are queen size instead of the full size you get at the values.
5. Different atmosphere – Moderate resorts are half the size (or even less) of the value resorts. This creates for a less hectic, less noisier atmosphere. They are also themed with more foliage that creates a more peaceful feeling.

The value resort rooms are being refurbished and now have Queen size beds. We got one when we were there last week and were pleasantly surprised at how much bigger they feel even though they aren’t. The redesign of the bathroom space and how they have the beds gives a ton of storage space! If you’re really just going to be sleeping and showering, I’d recommend the value resorts!

With Pop Century’s renovations, they will have Kind size beds. IMHO…That changes the equation a bit.
