There is no shortage of hotel accommodations when it comes to the Walt Disney World Resort in Florida. That’s because in addition to offering Guests a limitless number of attractions, rides, shows, restaurants and character encounters from which to choose, the magical vacation destination also offers Guests a long list of resort hotels from which to choose. Disney offers accommodations for every family, every taste and every budget. Disney’s Value Resorts offer exceptional value to Guests. Moderate Resorts are more moderately priced per night, and Deluxe Resorts and Deluxe Villas offer more amenities and are often the higher-priced resort hotels on Disney property. Moderate Resorts can be a great choice for you if you’re traveling with your family because they can accommodate the number of Guests in your party, they are still reasonably priced for the amenities and services you receive, and they offer that special “Disney touch” to every moment of your stay. Choosing which Moderate Resort to book is the most difficult part because they are all wonderful! Here’s an overview of Disney’s 5 Moderate Resorts and what makes them great choices for Guests.
5. Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort

Snack stations can be found in the “villages” of Jamaica, Aruba and Martinique—with offerings like pastries, salads and sandwiches.

3. Disney’s Port Orleans Resort—Riverside
This resort hotel in the Disney Springs area at Walt Disney World Resort has something for everyone! Princess Tiana had a hand in choosing décor for some of the guest rooms at Disney’s Port Orleans Resort—Riverside. And it’s no wonder; the décor in the guest rooms was inspired by rural Louisiana and the bayou. Choose from standard rooms that sleep three to five adults and Royal Guest rooms that sleep up to four adults. You’ll feel the southern hospitality at this resort—it’s around every corner. The beautiful and extravagantly decorated guest rooms are housed inside a building that resembles stately New Orleans mansions. Are you up for swimming in the bayou? Well, it might not be the bayou, but when you and your family head to ‘Ol Man Island—a 3.5-acre aquatic paradise complete with a pool and a waterslide that looks like an old saw mill—you’ll feel like you’re in Louisiana. And when you get hungry, the Riverside Mill Food Court has multiple offerings. Don’t forget to check out the 35-foot water wheel and real working cotton press when you visit the Food Court.
2. Disney’s Port Orleans Resort—French Quarter
The sister resort to Port Orleans Riverside is Disney’s Port Orleans Resort—French Quarter. It was inspired by New Orleans’s historic French Quarter of earlier times. From the cobblestone streets and gas lamps to the beautiful magnolia blossoms, you’ll feel like you’re vacationing in the French Quarter. For a day at the resort—perhaps on a rest day from the parks—hit the Mardi Gras-themed pool that features a sea serpent waterslide with King Neptune atop it. Horse-drawn carriages are available to rent for a relaxing or romantic ride around the resort. Meet at Scat Cat’s Club Bar for drinks afterward. And if Creole and Cajun food appeal to you, your family can sample all their favorites at the Sassagoula Floatworks and Food Factory.
