Resorts in this category have it all (including a big price tag). Deluxe resorts have more room options ranging from four-person rooms to eight-person suites. The standard rooms have two queen beds or one king and a day bed, which is a sofa that converts into a bed. These rooms also have a bathroom with two sinks, a shower, and toilet. This style room is also available with club-level service for an additional price which gets you your own personal vacation planner to make dining reservations and VIP tours. Suites range from a one-bedroom suite that sleep up to 5 with a king bed, queen-sized sleeper sofa, and twin-sized sleeper chair to a two-bedroom suite that sleeps up to 8 and has a kitchenette and living room area.

Moderate resorts are a bit more pricey than the value resorts, but if you can afford it, they're totally worth it. They are so much more beautiful than value resorts and the theming is really cool. These resorts are $200 to $300 a night depending on when you go and where you stay, with the more crowded times and nicer rooms costing more (yes you must pay for that “garden view” over the “standard view”).

Food at the restaurants tends to match the theme of the resort (think Caribbean food at Caribbean Beach and Mexican at Coronado Springs) plus more traditional food like sandwiches, pizza, and salads. Each also has at least one main...

There are six value resorts at Walt Disney World, though one isn’t actually in this category (for simplicity’s sake it is here). They are All Star Sports, All Star Movies, All Star Music, Pop Century, Art of Animation, and Fort Wilderness Campground. Each of the Value Resorts has a quick service restaurant, pools, arcade, and bus service to the parks. The resorts have multiple buildings with the main one housing the restaurant, front desk, arcade, and bus depot. Guest rooms are spread out in buildings and are grouped to share a theme. Rooms aren't huge, but they have the standard two double beds and a bathroom. There is one sink, which is located outside the bathroom, which makes it possible for someone to get ready at the sink while another takes a shower. The rooms also have the typical dresser, TV, table, and chairs. Art of Animation and All Star Music have larger family suites that can sleep up to six people, though these do cost more than the standard room. Rooms are decora...
