Are you wanting something a little more relaxed but not quite as expensive as a deluxe resort? The moderate tier of resorts boasts a wide range of options, including cabins at Fort Wilderness! One of my favorite moderate resorts that I recommend to clients all the time is Port Orleans Riverside. Port Orleans is actually made up of two resorts - Riverside and French Quarter. They are both gorgeous, but Riverside grabs my heart a little more.

If you are not wanting to stay on Walt Disney World property, you have endless options in the surrounding areas, and while you may save some money on your accommodations, you do miss out on the extra benefits that resort guests have.
These include:
- The ability to book Fast Passes at 60 days prior to your trip instead of just 30
- Complimentary MagicBands (if you want them otherwise, they're at least $13 in the parks)
- The ability to have your purchases sent back to your room (We never lug souvenirs around with us -- it's fantastic)
- The use of Disney's Magical Express, the complimentary transportation from Orlando International Airport that also includes delivery of your luggage to your room. When we fly, we check our bags in at our local airport and the next time we see them is in our hotel room.
- Disney Dining Plans (more on this in a future post)
- Extra Magic Hours (every day one of the parks is open an hour earlier or stays open an hour later just for resort guests)
- And being in the "Disney Bubble" - which is the idea that you are fully immersed in the magic from the time you check in until the time you check out.
There are 25+ resort options, so no matter what your travel party situation is, I can help you find a resort. I can find things for large parties, for families with more than two kids (I have 3, so I know what it's like to find a room that sleeps 5), and more.
