I don't know if it is a fair comparison. A moderate at WDW is a resort with resort amenities (neat pool, some dining, possible bar, activities such as boating or biking.The CC is a U shaped motel property with a tiny pool.
The rooms at Candy Cane are similar.They feel larger than a moderate, I don't know if they are.
The beds are WAY more comortable at Candy Cane.
You can easily walk to DLR from CC. It is either car of bus to anywhere in WDW from a moderate.
CC has a free continental breafast buffet. Moderates do not.
