7 Fan Favorite Restaurants at Disney World Moderate Resorts
7. Boatwright’s Dining Hall Our favorite of the moderate-resort restaurants is located at Port Orleans Riverside. Dine here once and you’ll understand why – guests get a skillet of cornbread upon being seated and then have to choose amongst a bevy of classic Southern-inspired dishes. Looking at the menu poses a true challenge to seasoned diners with both land and sea options with wonderful spice

9. Thematic Elements The value resorts are the best for kids. We all know that Disney pays specific attention to detail in each of their resorts and their theming is consistent in each element from the state rooms to the lobby to the food at the restaurants to the color schemes to the architecture and even the plants that surround each resort. One thing that the value resorts have that the moder

10. Pricing The most common reason guests choose to stay at value resorts are to take advantage of their low rates. Overall, Pop Century, Art of Animation, and All Star resorts all offer relatively lower rates than any other Disney owned hotel on property. Since you’re still able to stay in the magic after leaving the parks and experience all of the perks of staying at a Disney World resort, it’

Cons 1. Cheap Beds If you’re used to your top of the line mattress from home, you’ll be sad to hear that you may wake up with back pain in the morning after staying at any of the value resorts. Don’t get me wrong, the mattresses aren’t like sleeping on a sheet of wood, but they aren’t the most comfortable. I usually bring a small mattress topper to sleep on so that I sleep comfortably when I sta

2. Food Courts This can be a pro or a con depending on how you look at it. Some families enjoy a variety of food at an affordable price for every single meal (which would make this a pro). The issue is the quality of the food at the value resorts isn’t as great as that of the moderate and deluxe properties. In addition, the moderate and deluxe properties also include various restaurants to enjoy

3. Misleading Suites The Art of Animation is the newest of the value resorts. It is also the only value resort with three buildings filled with family suites that sleep up to 6 guests. While this may sound fantastic for families on a tight budget, it is very misleading. The suites at the Art of Animation can range anywhere from $350 and higher (without a discount if applicable). Many would agr

4. Spread Out While this applies to a few moderate resorts as well, the buildings in the value resorts are very spread out, making it time consuming to travel around the property. If you do not specify that you want a preferred room, chances are you will be in a building far away from the main lobby, food court, bus pick-up area, laundry room, and main pool. If you have no issues with walking ar

5. Troubled Cell Phone Service & Wi-Fi Issues Many guests have complained about the issues with the Wi-Fi or phone service at the value resorts. Sometimes the spotty service can be a pain if you’re trying to make a phone call or use social media. I have often had to use my own data because of how spotty the service is. The good news is that I have heard from many cast members that they are worki

Pros 6. Great Pools The pools at the value resorts are amazing! Not only are they very large, they are decorated with thematic elements that infuse that special Disney magic we all love. The Art of Animation main pool is probably a fan favorite amongst the value resorts. Not only is it the single largest pool in any Walt Disney World resort, but it was also designed to include speakers under wa
