Four Seasons Resort Orlando at Walt Disney World Resort
Lake Buena Vista, Florida
AAA Inspector 591: Families get the best of both worlds in the pool area. The kids love the play area and lazy river, and I love the lavish treatment at the adult pool.
Fall into the lap of luxury at this impressive resort. Rooms are designed with comfort and technology in mind. Exciting restaurants, a luxurious spa and spectacular pool complex complete the scene. Complimentary transportation to and from the parks is available on a luxurious motor coach. Spanning 26 acres within the exclusive Golden Oak Community, guests here can enjoy the five-acre Explorer Island with its lazy river pool, dozens of water features and family activities. Rather relax? Take a stroll through the acres of tranquil gardens or unwind by the adults-only pool in your very own bungalow. Treat yourself to a selection of wellness options in the 13,000-square-foot spa and then create your own custom fragrance at the Aroma Design Bar. Everything is literally at your fingertips. Each room is equipped with an iPad-based system, a Bose Bluetooth speaker and a device-charging station. Be sure to check out the spectacular fireworks chandelier in the lobby at night. Get your Disney fix with the “fireworks view” rooms or character breakfasts.
