Ranking (or not ranking) the Moderate Disney World resorts

This was EXTREMELY helpful! Thank you for all the cons & pros

In 2019 I went for 3 weeks. I stayed a few nights at each ( Poly, Contemp, Wilderness Lodge, Coronado, Caribbean, Art of Animation, Port Orl Riv, Ani Kng Lodge, and some others I can't remember. ) My point is; I think I had a better time overall at some of the moderates. If I were ever to return, Port Orl Riv is at the top of my list. I didn't stay at Fort Wilderness but I did visit, and I was impressed at how "getting away from it all" you could be while still close to the parts and transportation. Some of the moderates are more enjoyable than the deluxes.

Recently went to WDW for the first time and stayed at Port Orleans and it was fantastic! Being smaller and quieter it was perfect 🥰

We love the Riverside.

The only moderate we stayed at was Caribbean Beach and we loved it. I’d guess a lot depends on where your room is located. The skyliner is really a game-changer!

[@pallawiagarwal4243]

were you able to watch firework from your room or resort?

CBR is my least favorite mod resort, the decor/theming doesn't appeal to me at all and while the skyliner is a nice perk, I just don't love how big the property is and the number of bus stops. I see why it's super popular but when the skyliner goes down, which it does quite a bit over the summer, the buses are slow to pick up. Plus, many times when we go, CBR is the same, or very close in price, as Swan/Dolphin, so we go that route. POR is our favorite moderate, we love the theming. It's such a peaceful resort.

My husband an I love Coronado and we actually prefer the original rooms. Gran Fiesta Tour themed! Also a great value with an AP discount.

We love gran destino even with the corporate feel. It never feels super packed and it gives us a little Disney break each day

Totally agree 👍🥰

I still have a big crush on Shannon even though she rated my favorite moderate Port Orleans Riverside down a notch from Coronado Springs. But I have to admit, I’m looking forward to checking out Three Bridges on a future trip.
