(And our choice for our trips) Moderates= the compromise between money spent and services recieved. Deluxes=the best in services, themeing, resturaunts on premises, and transportation in return for less money in the budget either for this vacation or the next one. The money for a deluxe has to come from somewhere. Mostly, once you pick a price catagory, the difference come down to themeing. Peruse <a href="http://www.allears.net/" target="_blank">http://www.allears.net/</a> to get some ideas and if you narrow it down to 2 or 3 we can give you some opinions. However, to pick among them all, with no idea of your budget. Too tall an order! P.S. Another great source of comprehensive information on each resort and most of everything else you need is The Unofficial Guide: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Unofficial-Guide-Disney-World-Guides/dp/047179032X/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/002-8754462-2626449?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1183084735&sr=8-1" target="_blank">http://www.amazon.com/Unoffici al-Guide-Disney-World-Guides/dp/047179032X/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/002-8754462-2626449?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1183084735&sr=8-1</a> And it's web site: <a href="http://www.touringplans.com" target="_blank">http://www.touringplans.com</a>

I believe all of the moderates and deluxes are close to one park in particular, but I wouldn't swear to it. So if you want to be right next door to Epcot I believe you should be at the Boardwalk, but am not totally sure. I do know that if you want to spend alot of time at the Magic Kingdom the Polynesian, the Grand Floridian and others are on the monorail system that will get you there lickety split (mostly). So, start dreaming!!!
