if you're price range is a littler lower, its more about location than which hotel is best. all of the moderates are on par with each other. i dont think coronado springs is any nicer than port orleans, etc etc. just go with location if moderate or value is your option. my opinion....if you're not staying deluxe, go value. i dont find the price justifies a moderate over a value.

We do Disney a few times a year because the in-laws are in the Vacation Club. The hotel you stay in matters sometimes for a decent trip. Especially when the OP is going. It's going to be pretty crowded. The All-Star hotels are notorious for shitty bus service when it's crowded. We've stayed a bunch of different places but the best ones with the best transportation in Coronado Springs and Caribbean Beach. They have their own bus because it's a large resort with multiple stops. Most other places will share buses with other resort. Port Orleans shares with Riverside. Boardwalk shares with Yacht & Beach, etc. That shite is a nightmare when you're trying to get back in the evening. For a first timer I'd give Coronado or Caribbean Beach a shot.

I've seen the All-Star resorts bus stops look like Bourbon St. on Mardi Gras night.
