The Four Seasons Hotel in Orlando

Hi Loves,

Its been almost a week since our Florida trip and I have to say I am wishing we were back on the beautiful grounds of the Four Seasons in Orlando. As most of you know I head to Florida multiple times a year due to my brother living in the area, we usually stay with him or our timeshare, but this time around I wanted to treat my mother for a Mother's Day gift and I figured what better way then to stay in luxurious hotel. My good friend Erika recommended the hotel and once I looked up more information on it I knew it was perfect. There are many reasons why I chose this location for our Disney Trip so I decided to list them for you below, so it can help you guys decide if this too will be a perfect stay for your trip. One of the things I loved about the hotel is that it really accommodates everyone, whether you have children or not you will enjoy this hotel and the staff. The staff were beyond exceptional and consistently remembered my name each time I bumped into someone on the grounds. From the very beginning we walked into a cute setup and a warm welcome. I had a crib setup for Ayden which was perfect and meant everyone would have a goodnight sleep. MyAnnabelle was greeted with a cute tutu and princess crown/wand which she was super excited about. My only qualm was that we couldn't stay longer to enjoy more of the amenities because there was so much available to do.

We were able to setup a Character Breakfast on property which I think was perfect for my little ones, it's a guarantee that you will get a picture with Mickey, Minnie, and Goofy so if you don't get a chance at the park you surely will here. We also loved the lazy river! The food at Capa restaurant was beyond amazing... I had a filet mignon and it was mouth watering. One of the features in the room that I loved was the Ipad. I loved the fact that we could order room service right off of it as well as contact staff for any assistance. I Have to say that ordered the apple cobbler each night because it was soooooo good. Another great feature the resort had was a shuttle from the hotel to Disney so we didn't have to worry about driving and parking at the park. I definitely plan on going back so I can check out more of the hotel with my husband and kids. Check out more of the amenities below and some pictures from our stay. I hope you guys enjoyed this review and if you have any questions feel free to leave below.

What sold me on the stay
-- This is Disney meets luxury; a vacation in the perfect balance. Have as much or as little Disney as you’d like as part of your vacation – you can have the Four Seasons experience with Disney, or the Disney Experience, with Four Seasons
-- Complimentary transportation is provided to the main Disney theme parks (Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Animal Kingdom, Hollywood Studios) in plush motor coaches
-- Twice weekly on-site Disney Character Breakfast “The Good Morning Breakfast with Goofy and Pals”, plus on-site Disney Planning Center
-- Disney meet & greets: you can have a private character experience at Four Seasons. Want breakfast with Anna and Elsa from Frozen? It can be arranged (for a fee) in one of the resort’s private event spaces.
-- Complimentary Child Care: As mentioned before, this is a huge advantage; younger guests enjoy Kids For All Seasons, located on Explorer Island in the Mansion, where kids ages 4-12 will be entertained and supervised by our staff during the hours of 10 am to 6pm. Complimentary kids’ camp is unique in this market.
-- For couples or individuals traveling without kids, there’s plenty to do that is adults only. From the adult only pool, to amazing Spa (with six couples treatment rooms), to world-class dining, Tom Fazio golf and Har-Tru tennis courts, the exclusive Golden Oak location and Four Seasons service is as grown-up as it gets.

Peace & Love,
