The jump from Value to Moderate is mostly about theming. You go from a big box hotel with giant figures to a box hotel that looks like something other than a box hotel. They do tend to a be a little quieter as most youth groups tend to stay at values, but otherwise they are similar. Service is slightly better, I.E. bellhops are always around, but its still not at the level of the deluxes. Is it worth it? Well, my DW won't go back to a value now, she likes the quiet. I personally see the room as a place to sleep, so am not bothered by the values, but many people do prefer a slightly larger room with a few small changes. Having stayed at CBR, POR, and POFQ, I find them all to be similar, just different themes. Depending on where you end up at CBR or POR you could have a lot of walking to the main building for food, otherwise they are similar. Coronado Springs tends to be heavier on business people if a conference is in session so there may be less kids if that bothers you. The food court there is also run by a 3rd party and is set up differently than the others.
