moderate vs deluxe 1

so i wanted to talk real quick about something that the moderate resorts at wdw have over the deluxe resorts, and that is quick service food court.

as far as i know none of the deluxe resorts have a food court.  all of them sit down restaurants, which maybe they assume because people are paying a premium to stay there a food court would look trashy.  but i think the deluxe resorts are the perfect place for food courts because of there locations so close to the parks.  i have been able to stay at the yacht club several times as well as the boardwalk, and would have loved to get a quick small meal before running into the back door (aka international gateway) of epcot.

my last trip to the world i decided to switch it up and stayed at port orleans riverside.  i was very impressed and for a guy on the run it was perfect.  i had my car with me which made getting everywhere very easy, as a resort guest you don't have to pay for parking at the parks and you don't have to wait around for the right bus to show up.  but what i really loved was the food court.  the ability to jump grab food and get out was great.  my wife was with me and the food court served as what on previous trips was room service. i would run over to the main hall grab some chow and zip back to the room allowing my wife to avoid the crowds she hates. i also bought the refillable mugs that they sell for the soda and coffee and let me tell you did i get my moneys worth there.

so if you are a person on the go and have a car the food courts at the moderates can make a great argument for giving them a try.
