Hi there Amy! You can relax because
all the amazing cast members, no matter the Disney resort category, want your family to have a magical vacation!
I've been fortunate to stay at both the
Deluxe and
Moderate Resorts. The difference, other than price point and theme, is really just the added resort amenities and theme park transportation options. So, if you are concerned about the bottom line, a moderate resort is a
more than acceptable alternative.
My personal favorite moderate is
Disney's Port Orleans French Quarter. My family loves the compact resort lay out, the boat ride to Downtown Disney, the sea serpent water slide and the option to take a stroll to
Disney's Port Orleans Resort – Riverside for dinner at
Boatwright's Dining Hall or a dip in the Ol' Man Island pool complex.
One way to experience both deluxe and moderate resort accommodations would be to have a split-stay reservation between the two categories or schedule a nice meal at one of the deluxe resorts and stroll the grounds afterward to soak up the ambiance.
Thanks
