The Four Seasons Resort Orlando is notably the most-luxurious resort on Walt Disney World property. So much so that the Four Seasons often has the most-expensive room rates and is tucked away in Disney’s exclusive neighborhood, Golden Oak. As a Disney fan or someone who only stays at Disney Resorts, you might be surprised just how much you love staying at the Four Seasons. The attention to detail, level of service, and Disney amenities will make you feel right at home. Plus, the resort truly feels like an oasis after a long day in the busy theme park days.
If you’re new to staying at the Four Seasons Orlando and are looking for a reason to book your next Disney World vacation, here are just a few benefits to consider –
Incredible Service
The service at any Four Seasons Resort is above and beyond and rivals any Disney Resort. If you need anything at all, the team at the Four Seasons can likely accommodate it. You are never without a clean room, extra amenities, cold water, included snacks, and a friendly face offering to assist. Here are just a few examples of exception service from a recent stay.
- We were offered cold waters and towelettes as soon as we arrived.
- Our family’s mobility scooter was stored at bell services; charged and waiting for when we visited the theme parks.
- Our pool chairs were set-up with plush towels, free sunscreen, and a pitcher of water which was frequently replenished.
- Included snacks like hummus with cucumbers and a chocolate pudding trifle were offered multiple times while poolside.
- When pool toys were purchased from the gift shop (Fable), the team offered to inflate them and walk them back over to our pool chairs.
- The room was cleaned multiple times of day including turn-down service which included a filled ice bucket, water bottles in the fridge, bath salts for the soaker tub, and take-home slippers for the entire family.
Kid-Friendly
If you’re thinking the Four Seasons feels stuffy or might not be a fit for young families, you will be very pleasantly surprised! With the close proximity to Walt Disney World, the majority of guests are families headed to the theme parks. The Four Seasons team also does a fantastic job of making everyone feel welcome and cared for, including your youngest travelers. The experience begins as soon as you get to the lobby where kids have their own check-in experience, a play fort, and rocking horses.
Kids are also given an “Explorer’s Activity Guide” which includes a scavenger hunt around the resort. Once completed, kids can turn in their guide for a free scoop of ice cream at Lickety Split.
Another huge perk for families is the complimentary camp for kids ages 4 to 12 called Kids For All Seasons. The program includes activities like time at the pool, an interactive volcano in the play zone, crafts, and games. There is also an evening program on Saturdays for an additional fee; allowing parents to enjoy a date night on their Disney vacation.
Disney Touches
While the Four Seasons Orlando’s theming leans towards elegance and understated magic, there are still Disney touches throughout to remind you you’re vacationing at Disney World. Disney artist, Dom Corona, has Disney art throughout the lobby and is featured in the in-room amenities like post cards, perfect for keepsakes. Both of the resort’s boutiques, Fable and Wardrobe, sell Disney merchandise from brands like Stoney Clover and Little Words Project plus unique items like Louis Vuitton-inspired mouse ears and couture dresses for your little princesses.
If you’re looking for additional magic, the spa offers princess makeovers complete with hairstyling, makeup application, manicures, plus princess gowns and accessories. This is a great alternative to Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique at the Magic Kingdom.
Exceptional Amenities
The Four Seasons Orlando has its own water park available exclusively for overnight guests. The pool area called “Explorer Island” includes a lazy river, splash area with wading pool, large family pool, two water slides, and an adult-exclusive pool. You should plan for at least a full afternoon to enjoy Explorer Island.
Unlike any other non-Disney resort, there is a dedicated Disney concierge desk in the Four Seasons lobby. A Disney Cast Member is available each day to assist with things like booking and modifying dining reservations, Lightning Lane, VIP Tours, After Hours Events, etc.
The Four Seasons Orlando offers motor coach transportation to all four parks. These luxe buses stay quiet and offer comfortable seating plus complimentary waters.
The Four Seasons Orlando also has a wide-range of suites and room configurations to accommodate large families or anyone looking for a luxury room with plenty of space. Most of these rooms also have fireworks views of Happily Ever After and Luminous the Symphony of Us.
If you’re looking for deluxe amenities included in your stay, above and beyond guest service, a true vacation destination, and a unique way to experience Disney World, consider a stay at the Four Season Resort Orlando!
