One of the joys of experiencing the WALT DISNEY WORLD® Resort is the sampling of resorts that come in four basic flavors: value, moderate, deluxe, and vacation club. The Disney® commitment to creativity in theming and excellence in service runs through every resort offering at various degrees, depending upon the flavor chosen.

Value Resorts focus on providing playful, bright environments and free bus transportation to all of the Disney® activities onsite. Smaller spaces, food courts, and outdoor entrances (motel standard) are the techniques that make these resorts cost less. Rooms are plentiful in this category.

Moderate Resorts add a bit more theming to the environment, a few more square feet of floor space per room, a restaurant with full service in addition to a food court, and recreation options like cycling and boating (DISNEY'S CORONADO SPRINGS Resort has a health club as well). Transportation to Disney® activities is by bus.

Disney Deluxe Villas Resorts offer a spacious environment that includes a kitchen area (small in the studio and full size in the one, two and three bedroom models). There is a sitting area as well, and most have washers and dryers, too. Themed to the environment of the particular resort, transportation, dining, and recreation amenities are of the deluxe standard for some and moderate for others. The key term for this flavor is spacious.

Deluxe Resorts are the epitome of Disney® theming with grand lobbies and indoor room entrances (hotel standard). Dining options often include three to five restaurants in the resort, and recreation options include tennis and health clubs. Rooms are larger and include more amenities like coffee makers, ironing boards, etc. Transportation to and from Disney® activities includes boat and monorail, depending upon the resort, in addition to buses.
