So many people often wonder what the differences are between the value and moderate resorts. The value resorts have a pretty steep nightly rate to begin with depending on the time of year compared to other non-Disney resorts, but is it worth spending more for the moderate? Depending on the location, you may find a moderate that is only minimally more per night than a value. But, we all know it is not just about money when it comes to Disney.
