We're a value family. We like to go to Disney frequently, so we try to stay in the least expensive accommodations on property as possible. We have no complaints about the values -- love them.
But our last trip we took our niece, so we had a family of 5. We stayed at Port Orleans Riverside and I have to say -- I was shocked. I just did not expect there to be such a large difference between the values and the moderates. Everything was just so much nicer from the finishes to the beds to the landscaping. I feel kind of silly for being so shocked about it, but here I am. And I didn't think I would, but I absolutely loved the multiple bus stops. Getting off the bus at the end of the day and literally walking 30 seconds to the door of our room was awesome.
This isn't to say we won't stay at a value ever again. I have a special place in my heart for them and I'm sure we will, but I think I will try and budget moderates from now on, especially as my small kids grow older. Makes me afraid to take the leap to Deluxe -- we may never go back!
