Welcome back!
How do you get a Disney Deluxe resort room for the price of a Moderate resort?
Well, it's a bit of a trick we like to use for longer vacations at Disney World. 
If we're staying on property for an extended period of time, say 7 nights or more, we like to split up our stay between two resorts to save money and live like kings at Disney World. For the first few nights, we stay at a Value resort, like our favorite, Disney's Pop Century. Then, we end our vacation at one of Disney's Deluxe resorts, like Disney's Wilderness Lodge or Contemporary.
By doing this, we significantly reduce our resort costs while ending our vacation with a bang! You "suffer" (staying at any Disney resort is never suffering!) through a short stay at the Value resort and then enjoy all the luxury and convenience of a Deluxe resort. What a difference this makes and you get a Disney Deluxe resort for roughly the same cost as staying at a Disney Moderate resort for your whole vacation!
