Comparing Deluxe vs Moderate
LWandDW (Evansville, Indiana) on Sep 18, 2024
We visit Disney once or twice a year. Have stayed all levels Value, Mod, Delx. We travel the USA frequently and in other cities stay in 4 or 5 diamond properties (Vegas, Denver, CA resorts). For the past several years we have stayed at the Disney POFQ Moderate for 8 days. We had already booked a bounceback offer for the Yacht Club for 8 days in April 2025, so for this shorter Long-Weekend trip we tried the Yacht Club, and unfortunately when we got home, contacted our Travel Agent to cancel/switch the Yacht Club for the upcoming April trip to either Poly or POFQ. The following is why: Pros: 1. Yacht is great location for Epcot (via walking or boat) and HS (via boat). Buses not busy (only AK, DS, MK) since most guests going to other parks. With Early Entry this was GREAT and allowed us early entry where we rode Mill Falcon, Toy Story 3x in a row, etc with no more than 10 minute wait for all those rides and then also Remy with no wait since back entry before front entry guests could get there. 2. YC is a hotel not a motel, so once inside, rooms accessed via interior halls. 3. Front of House staff very nice and helpful 4. Had "end of hall room" which meant no guest on one side so VERY quiet. However, early one morning another guest made a very loud work call right outside our door...good thing I wasn't a competitive company as I heard the entire call (smile) 5. Bath room larger than Moderate, and enough cubbies with doors to "put away" all items and luggage for a clean room. Cons: (reasons not staying here again) 1. Had a balcony but it was unusable as it looked out at "swampy" area with mosquitos. 2. MAIN reason we booked Deluxe was for a couch, but got a chair instead? Travel agent said "not guaranteed" and reserved for parties of 4 or 5 (so couples don't matter? Wish she would have told us that before booking) 3. Food choices were awful for us. We don't eat beef nor chicken and eat breakfast and then one afternoon meal only. This is a place for steak eaters and those who eat late (many lounges or restaurants do not open until 5 or require reservations or mainly serve meat dishes). Even the Marketplace sandwiches were "pre-made" so no substitutions. We literally ate a child's grill cheese in room, steak fries (not on menu but requested) and a wedge salad at a lounge, and then PB crackers we brought from home). We could have walked back to Epcot, but due to the extreme heat and humidity by the time we got back to room, just couldn't fathom that so maybe during different time of year that would be a difference. No idea what family's with kids would eat here--as even the Ice Cream Shoppe required a reservation. 4. Most staff was great, but had one negative incident with bartender in a lounge. Mid-day after park, went to lounge for cocktails and lunch (where we found fries only). Started out great and had two rounds and fries, but then another couple of parties came in. They were loud and literally brushed hair at bar over the trays with olives and fruit (?!) and bartender did not stop them. The bartender had unconscious bias as she catered to all the men in the bar, ignoring us from that point on. We hoped to have another round, but she never came back to our table (even when she was at next table). We went to bar and asked for bill after lengthly wait and she replied that she was only one working so it would be awhile (?!) but proceeded to take orders and make drinks for parties with men. Again I am sure she was unaware of her bias and needed diversity training. (I am a professor and teach this topic). We still tipped fully but this definitely altered our view of this entire property. Overall, we always have a great time at Disney but as consumers want to get value for the money spent. We are willing to spend for the things we want in a hotel, but when we spend and don't get the experience desired, we make alternative choices the next time. We also understand that we are a different type of customer (an LGBTQ+ couple who are semi-retired and frequent travelers who have very specific dietary needs), so this review is just our personal evaluation for informational purposes and may not be the experience of everyone.
Excellent location, noisy rooms

Overall, it was an great stay. Pros: - Location is excellent. Walking distance to HS and Epcot as well as easy access to the Skyliner. We used it multiple times during our stay - Hotel is very clean and inviting. - Food options are great - Loved the sand pool Cons: - Room noise was terrible. We were given a connecting room and you can hear EVERYTHING at the early hours of the day. We tried to put a towel under the bottom of the connecting door, but it didn't drown out the sound that much. In addition, hallway noise was be heard more than usual too. - Depending on your room, you can be walking a while as the hotel is wide. - Lazy River was nice BUT be ready to wait a while as there isn't many lounge tubes available. - Check in at 3pm isnt guaranteed even when it says check in is at 3pm. Front desk said that it 'starts' at 3pm and can go until all night... We finally got our room at 4pm. - Housekeeping- If you are someone that comes back to the hotel in the afternoon, you may want to let them know you want your room cleaned in the morning. We came back mid afternoon to our room not being cleaned but then as we wanted to relax in the room, they had to clean our room.
