Disney’s Moderate Resorts Are Getting a Room-Tastic Refresh for 2026!
Walt Disney World is giving its Moderate Resorts a little sprinkle of pixie dust in 2026—but this time, it’s all about the names! If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed choosing between Standard View, Water View, Preferred View, and everything in between, get ready to breathe a sigh of relief. Disney is streamlining its room categories for easier booking and smoother check-ins.

Starting with 2026 vacation packages, Moderate Resort room categories are getting a makeover. You’ll now see simpler choices like:
- Standard Room
- Preferred Room
- King Bed Room
Ahh, simplicity! No more decoding room types like you’re solving a mystery on the Jungle Cruise.
This change will apply to all Disney Moderate Resorts, including:
- Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort
- Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort
- Disney’s Port Orleans Resort – French Quarter
- Disney’s Port Orleans Resort – Riverside
Some special room types will still stick around—yes, Royal Guest Rooms at Port Orleans Riverside are still fit for a princess (or a Disney Adult living their best royal life).

At Caribbean Beach Resort, for example, room views will no longer be categorized separately as Pool View or Lake View. Instead, it’s all about location. Both Standard and Preferred Rooms may overlook a lake, pool, courtyard, or wooded area—the real difference is how close you are to those all-important resort amenities like the Fuentes del Morro pool or Centertown Market.
Disney says this change is designed to make your vacation experience more seamless from the moment you book to the moment you say, “Alexa, play ‘We’re Going to Disney World!’”
So whether you’re staying riverside, beachside, or feeling royal, the magic just got a little easier to book.
