The Value resorts at Disney  are a great place to stay while on property, but if you want a bit more  space and amenities, then it may be time to consider a Moderate. With  the Moderates, you also get more elaborate theming, whether it be  Disney&#8217;s version of a Caribbean island at the Caribbean Beach Resort, a  step back in time to the gentile south of the 1800s at Port Orleans  French Quarter and Port Orleans Riverside, or a tour through the desert  Southwest at Coronado Springs Resort.<\/p>\n<p>Typical to all Moderate resorts is a room of 314 square feet, two  double beds, complimentary coffeemaker with coffee, and a double sink  vanity with a privacy curtain to separate the vanity area from the  bedroom. (Coronado Springs has a single sink.) The toilet\/tub area is a  bit larger in the Moderates than in Disney&#8217;s Value resorts. Guest rooms  include a data port for high speed internet (available for $9.95 for a  24-hour period) and you can also use dial-up internet for 75 cents per  call. The dial-up option is good if you&#8217;re just checking email. At the  Moderates, expect more lush and prettier landscaping with lots of trees,  lawn and flowering shrubs; a themed pool with slide; a sit-down  restaurant (shared at the Port Orleans resorts); and the option to  reserve a king bed (maximum occupancy two guests plus one child up to  age 2 in a portacrib). All Moderate resorts are served by bus  transportation to the theme parks, but you can take a (slow) boat ride  to Downtown Disney from the Port Orleans resorts along the Sassagoula  River. There is no one Moderate resort at Disney convenient to  everything:  expect at least 10 minutes on a bus to a theme park once  the bus makes it out of the resort pick-up loop.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/tripplanning\/news\/ms\/images\/CBR.jpg\" alt=\"CBR\" width=\"408\" height=\"298\" \/><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: x-small;\"><em>A view of the lake and Old Port Royale at the Caribbean Beach Resort.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><strong>Disney&#8217;s Caribbean Beach Resort<\/strong> lies southeast  of Epcot (and right next to the Pop Century Resort) and is the largest  of all the Moderates with 2,112 guest rooms. It opened in 1988 and was  renovated section by section in late 90&#8217;s. This resort is tropically  themed&#8211;think palm trees, pastel colors, hibiscus and lots of oversized  foliage&#8211;and surrounds a 42-acre lake with a white sand beach. There are  33 buildings grouped into six &#8216;villages&#8217; of two story buildings (no  elevators). The villages are broken down into islands:  Martinique,  Barbados, Trinidad North and Trinidad South, Aruba, and Jamaica.  (Remember you&#8217;re in the Caribbean here.) Each village has its own  swimming pool, but it&#8217;s just a pool\u2026 no slides, no theming, no towels,  and no lifeguard. The main pool is themed for a Spanish fort, and is  located in Old Port Royale, which is near the center of the property.  Old Port Royale houses the ever-present Disney merchandise store, food  court, sit-down restaurant (Shutters), game room, and lounge. Old Port  Royale opens into a large lakeside recreation area where you can find  watercraft and bike rentals. Additionally there is a little island  nearby with a playground and picnic area.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/tripplanning\/news\/ms\/images\/CBR\/Customhouse3.JPG\" alt=\"CBR Custom House\" width=\"350\" height=\"262\" \/><br \/>\n<em><span style=\"font-size: x-small;\">The Custom House check-in area at CBR.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Caribbean Beach Resort is very pretty, but it&#8217;s just plain huge!  The check-in location is at the Custom House, which is just inside the  main gate. From Custom House you can walk to Barbados or Martinique, but  it&#8217;s a pretty long hike to the rest of the resort. A Preferred location  room is an option at CBR for an extra charge per night, and it may be  worth the money if you use the resort food court and plan on spending  time at the resort. Purchasing a Preferred location goes against my  personal \u201cMouse for less\u201d principles, but I highly recommend it at this  resort because of the sheer size of the place. There are seven (yep, 7!)  bus stops at CBR, and a Disney bus that just runs loops of the resort  to transport guests to and from the various locations within the resort.  While we are a family that likes to walk and enjoys quiet areas of  resorts, I did not like walking around this resort, especially at night.  The food court was a long way from our very quiet Trinidad South room,  and it was very difficult to do anything efficiently in this resort. We  never even made it to the main pool to swim as it was just too far away.  No one wanted to get on the bus in their swimsuits or take the hike to  the main pool, or haul swimsuits in a tote bag to the pool area. I had a  pre-Christmas visit at CBR and had to pick up tickets for the  Candlelight Processional at the Custom House in front of the resort.  This meant taking a special bus and then waiting in line, and then  taking another bus to my room. I saved myself a bunch of time though by  hopping on park busses. Just ask the driver if he\/she is headed anywhere  close to where you need to go and ride that bus rather than the resort  shuttle.<\/p>\n<p>CBR transportation to Epcot and MGM is pretty good\u2014both parks are  just down the road and around the corner. But expect about 14 minutes  travel time to the Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/tripplanning\/news\/ms\/images\/CBR\/Pool3.JPG\" alt=\"CBR Pool\" width=\"350\" height=\"262\" \/><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: x-small;\"><em>The main pool area at the Caribbean Beach Resort.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p>This resort is appealing to many people and is very popular among  honeymooners. The theming is tranquil and relaxing, with all of the  lush foliage and pastel colors. For me once was enough though\u2014it just  doesn&#8217;t play pretend enough to warrant a return visit. I didn&#8217;t find  anything unique or imaginative about this resort\u2014it looked like a  Florida condo where everyone had gone to work. We found the main pool to  be a bit undersized for the number of rooms at this resort, and I  shudder at the thought of being here on a hot July day; the pool would  probably be packed. I think I would love this place if I lived way up  north and it was the dead of winter. The greenery and landscaping would  be refreshing. So this one is crossed off my list, and I won&#8217;t be going  back.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/tripplanning\/news\/ms\/images\/CSRcourtyard.jpg\" alt=\"CSR Courtyard\" width=\"350\" height=\"260\" \/><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: x-small;\"><em>The courtyard at Coronado Springs Resort<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Coronado Springs Resort<\/strong> (CSR) opened in August  1997 and is named for European explorer Francisco de Coronado; the pool  area is an archeological \u201cDig Site\u201d. I consider CSR to be a \u201cDeluxe  Moderate\u201d because this is a resort with more amenities than the other  Moderates. Along with the 1,921 guest rooms and suites, CSR offers  95,000 square feet of meeting space with business services and catering.  It is built around a 15 acre lake called Lago Dorado. The guest room  buildings are broken into three sections:  The Casitas, the Ranchos, and  the Caba\u00f1as. The Registration and food areas are located in \u201cEl  Centro\u201d. Here you will find the Pepper Market&#8211;a non-typical Disney food  court&#8211;and the Maya Grill, an upscale Mexican themed restaurant that  offers sit-down table service.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/tripplanning\/news\/ms\/images\/CSRPepperMkt.jpg\" alt=\"CSR Pepper Market\" width=\"350\" height=\"259\" \/><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: x-small;\"><em>Pepper Market at CSR.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p>So what&#8217;s different about the Pepper Market? The Pepper Market  has a host(ess) who will seat you. Then you&#8217;re given silverware in a  cloth napkin and a card with boxes on it. The idea is to take the card  to your food station, get your food and have the card stamped, and then  return to your table. There is a server who will bring you drinks and  refill your glasses. When you&#8217;re done eating they&#8217;ll clean up after you.  This is not a complimentary service\u2014there is a 10% upcharge when you  pay at the register. I like to compare the Pepper Market to a buffet  restaurant in that you have a \u201cpseudo-server\u201d to pick up after you.  There is more variety to the menu at the Pepper Market than your typical  Disney food court but it is also a bit more costly too. The Maya Grill  offers a buffet breakfast and dinner.  We found the breakfast to be  plentiful and quite tasty, and the service was pretty good. The Maya  Grill offers a show kitchen, and depending upon where you are seated you  can see the chefs work. Both the Pepper Market and the Maya Grill are  on the dining plan. Pepper Market is considered a counter service  location although there is service by a real person.<\/p>\n<p>As for the resort rooms, the Casitas are very close to the  Convention Center, and are often used for conventioneers. The great  things about conventioneers is they&#8217;re usually in meetings all day long  and don&#8217;t use the busses or the pool! The Casitas are buildings 1-5, and  there is a quiet pool between buildings 3 &amp; 4. These buildings are  three and four stories tall and are themed to southwest urban areas with  colorful plazas with fountains, and shaded courtyards.  There are even  topiaries (Disney themed, of course) in the courtyard. CSRs fitness  center and beauty salon is located in the Casita area, by building 4  (another \u201cDeluxe\u201d touch for a Moderate). Bus stop #2 serves the Casitas.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/tripplanning\/news\/ms\/images\/CSRranchos.jpg\" alt=\"CSR Ranchos\" width=\"350\" height=\"259\" \/><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: x-small;\"><em>The Rancho buildings at CSR.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p>The Ranchos are in the back of the resort.  These buildings are  pueblo-themed in a country setting.  Landscaping in the ranchos is a bit  more arid, with rocky stream beds that fill up with water during those  famous Orlando rain storms.  Expect to see cacti and yucca plants in the  landscape here, although some of the cacti appear to be of the \u201cDisney\u201d  phylum.  There are four buildings that make up this section:  6A and B,  and 7A and 7B.  My stays at CSR have all been in the Ranchos\u2014I enjoy  peace and quiet of this resort after being in the parks all day.  The  main pool, the Dig Site, is closest to building 7B in the ranchos, but  it&#8217;s not a far walk.  There is also a good size quiet pool and laundry  in the courtyard area of building 7B, which is where I was my last trip.   As you walk around the Ranchos look at the animal footprints in the  concrete leading to the \u201cwatering holes\u201d.  Bus stops #3 and #4 serve the  Ranchos.<\/p>\n<p>Our last area is the Caba\u00f1as. These have metal roofs and are  typical of seaside villages found on Mexico&#8217;s coastal regions. The  Caba\u00f1as are reasonably close to the main building, El Centro.  There is a  pool located in the Caba\u00f1a area by building 9A. Bus stops for the  Caba\u00f1as are either #4 or #1, which is located in El Centro.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/tripplanning\/news\/ms\/images\/CSRpool2.jpg\" alt=\"CSR pool\" width=\"260\" height=\"350\" \/><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: x-small;\"><em>The waterfall flows into the main pool area at CSR.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p>The best part of Coronado Springs Resort is the \u201cDig Site, which  is where you&#8217;ll find the pool and playground area. Towering over the  pool is a five-story Mayan pyramid which cascades water down the steps.  The water slide in this pool has a spitting jaguar. This slide is 123  feet long and you can really get some speed as you go down. According to  my children, this is the \u201cbest\u201d pool and slide area for the Moderates  and Deluxes, with the exception of the Yacht and Beach Club&#8217;s Stormalong  Bay pool. Along with awesome theming, this pool is pretty large.   However getting to this pool can be quite a hike, depending upon where  your room is located in the resort. Ranchos and Caba\u00f1a rooms won&#8217;t have  much of a walk, but if you&#8217;re in the Casitas then start hiking. Next to  the pool is Siesta&#8217;s Pool Bar and the Iguana Arcade. You may refill your  resort mugs at the snack bar next to the pool; hours may be limited.<\/p>\n<p>CSR offers a fitness center and beauty salon, bicycle and  watercraft rentals, and a sand volleyball court at the pool area\u2014more  \u201cDeluxe\u201d touches.  They also offer a limited room service menu that is  beyond pizza.  Expect to pay Disney prices for your meal, plus a  delivery charge AND an automatic gratuity.  Since I&#8217;m part of the \u201cfor  less\u201d group I have yet to use room service at this resort, and I do not  plan to do so.<\/p>\n<p>You cannot be close to \u201ceverything\u201d at Coronado Springs\u2014the lake  is in the middle of the resort and you must walk around it to get  anywhere important like the food and restaurant area or the pool. On my  last trip my room key didn&#8217;t work and I needed to get to the front  desk\u2014so I hopped in my mom&#8217;s car and drove rather than walked. (It was  night and the parks were closed and the first bus stop was at El Centro  so I couldn&#8217;t use my CBR trick and hop on a park bus). I absolutely love  this resort as it fits my criteria for a Disney resort: imaginative  theming and attention to the little details that make the Disney  difference. You can see water and a nice view from just about anywhere,  and it&#8217;s just plain beautiful. The sunlight tends to make the lake  shimmer, and there always seem to be flowers in bloom. Resort rooms  include coffeemakers and real coffee cups (not disposable), along with  glass drinking glasses. The standard guest room is two double beds;  there is one sink in the vanity area.<\/p>\n<p>An odd design \u201cflaw\u201d here is that to get to the bus stops in the  back of the resort one needs to walk across the parking lot.  Although  parking lot traffic is light, be mindful of folks (including the  kiddies) running for busses through parked cars.  Expect a 12 minute  ride to the Magic Kingdom after the last bus pickup, and about 10  minutes to MGM and Epcot. Animal Kingdom theme park is fairly close, and  Blizzard Beach is pretty much across the street from the resort.<\/p>\n<p><em>Next edition we will head towards the Sassagoula River and up  into the bayou and discuss the two resorts that comprise Port Orleans:  the French Quarter and Riverside.
