Y'all's responses have been great and definitely make things easier. We love going to 'Ohana but love the trip via boat/monorail getting there so I may just stick it out next year with a moderate resort but definitely take in more restaurants.

Moderate vs. Deluxe: Biggest differences

Very true. At a deluxe you are pretty much covered from room to bus. You do not get that at any other resort level.

Never, ever go to Vegas. I've been lost in my share of casino hotels. Those places are a complete maze and difficult to navigate even when sober which is not a common state there (at least for me

I don't doubt it. My brother has lived and worked in the casino industry in Vegas since 73. He mentioned getting lost in his own resort before.

We got turned around in Caesar's in the shopping area. Thought that I would still be there to this day. Maybe they have a spending minimum before you're allowed to find the way out.

For me, the biggest thing has been crowd size. WL has around 700 rooms whereas the moderates average around 2,000. Thus, the resort doesn't feel as packed, particularly when dining. That being said, the moderates are also spread out a lot more and so the number of people isn't quite as noticeable away from the dining halls. I love PORS and CSR looks awesome (will try one day). For the savings, I can sacrifice my time at the deluxes and have a little more spending cash for the parks.
The snob in me refuses to stay at the values. I'd rather stay offsite.

Agreed on the values. CSR has the feel of a deluxe resort minus the unique transportation. The lake and pool area are beautiful and It's also pretty centrally located so a quicker bus ride to most parks.
CSR doesn't feel all that crowded either as a percentage of the people there are staying for a convention rather than going to the parks .

For us, what makes the difference between mod and deluxe is the size of the room and location. Most deluxes are close to at least one park and the deluxe rooms are bigger and roomier. We also like entering our room from an indoor corridor as opposed to entering from the outside. We feel safer and more at home this way.

The amenities are the really only things. At, deluxe resorts there are really nice table service restaurants and at moderate resorts there is usually just a food court. Also, Deluxe Resorts have usually a tad bit bigger room and have nicer view option, such SSL or MK. Deluxe Resorts have regularly a nicer and bigger pool, for instance I like the pool at BC (Stormalong Bay) and the POFQ pool. They put chocolate on your pillows at the Deluxe Resort. Also, the Deluxe Resorts have a Club and Concierge Level, which I have stayed on that floor on one occasion. Overall, These are just for people with a lot of money, not saying that both Moderate and Deluxe aren't nice in their own since, but the Deluxe is just higher quality. These are most of the differences between Deluxe and Moderate.

When I had clients dealing with the moderate/deluxe choice I always asked them one simple question. Will you use what a deluxe resort has to offer?
There is no arguing that the deluxe resorts are nicer/better than the moderates. What it really comes down to is if you are going to make use of those features that you are paying extra for. If you are, go for it. If not, save the cash and spring for a great dinner at one of the deluxe resorts and soak up a little of the atmosphere for free.
The Beds are different in terms of comfort..the Queen Beds in a deluxe have much different mattresses..key for me and my back

Only if you stay at the Grand Floridian or club level at other Deluxe resorts.
