Caribbean Beach until the temporary dining related to its refurb is replaced with
permanent dining later this year.

kid-friendly theming and pool, Coronado Springs for its pool and extra amenities
compared to the other Moderates, or Port Orleans French Quarter for its loveliness and
relative compactness and simplicity. But first-timers tempted by the prices of the Values
or the delights of the Deluxes should give in to that temptation.
