What are the differences in types of rooms available at Disney Moderate Resorts?
Typically you can find three types of rooms at the Value Resorts, Standard, Preferred and Suites (only available at Disney's Coronado Springs). A Standard room is just what the name implies, standard. In the standard room you are allowed a maximum of 2-4 guests. A Preferred room is a room closer to the guest facilities with (typically) more scenic views. The preferred rooms rates are more expensive than the standard room rates. A Suite depends on the number of bedrooms you would like ( to find out more see the Coronado Springs Resort page).
