Some places feel special the moment you arrive. Four Seasons Resort Orlando at Walt Disney World® Resort is one of them — a shimmering 26-acre retreat where elegance meets enchantment, and every moment feels like a celebration of Florida sunshine, culinary brilliance, and pure joy.
Set along palm-lined Dream Tree Boulevard, the resort is a destination entirely its own. With manicured gardens, shimmering pools, serene lakes, and warm, intuitive service, it blends Five-Star sophistication with the carefree delight of a world-class vacation.
A Suite With a View — The Park View Suite
My home for the stay was the Park View Suite — 825 square feet of bright, thoughtful luxury. With a king bedroom, a spacious living room, a dining table, a second full bathroom, and a marble master bath with a soaking tub and double sinks, it feels like a chic residence floating above the resort.
But the real magic begins outside.
The extra-wide double terrace balcony overlooks the lush woodlands, shimmering pools, and golf greens of the Four Seasons Golf and Sports Club Orlando. By night, the sky erupts in the Walt Disney World® fireworks — a private show for anyone lucky enough to be standing barefoot on this balcony with a glass of prosecco.
The bedding is cloud-soft, the closets are huge, and the quiet is the kind that tucks you into deep, restorative rest. I slept like royalty — and genuinely did not want to leave.
Sunshine, Swimming, and Explorer Island Fun
My days started with early laps at the adults-only Oasis Pool, a serene escape edged with cabanas and swaying palms. Then I’d wander over to Explorer Island — five acres of pure joy. The lazy river winds under waterfalls, slides twist overhead, and families splash from one zone to the next. It’s beautifully landscaped, full of laughter, and somehow both relaxing and energizing at once.
Whether you want serenity or high-energy fun, you’ll find it here — and I found myself wanting both.
Spa Bliss in a Sanctuary of Calm
The Spa at Four Seasons Orlando is its own universe of restoration. My Healing Honey treatment, performed by the incredibly talented Efrain, was warm, therapeutic, and deeply soothing on one of their extra-wide massage tables designed for ultimate comfort.
Post-massage, I floated into the solarium, nestled into an anti-gravity bed with a weighted blanket, sipping prosecco. I texted a friend: “I live here now. Don’t forward my mail.”
With treatments ranging from Tibetan singing bowl therapy to IV infusions and bespoke facials, the spa honors the global Four Seasons tradition of blending healing with luxury.
Even kids have their own magical menu — princess transformations complete with dresses, tiaras, and fairy dust, plus special grooming experiences for young guests. It’s whimsical, warm, and quintessentially Four Seasons.
Shopping With Style: Wardrobe & Fable
Still glowing from the spa, I wandered into Wardrobe, the resort’s chic boutique where elevated resortwear mingles with subtle Walt Disney storytelling. Guided by Valerie and Donna, I tried on elegant dresses (still sipping prosecco), surrounded by curated brands and playful sophistication.
Across the way, Fable delights children with charming clothing, accessories, and Disney-inspired touches. Shopping here feels like stepping into a beautifully designed chapter of a storybook.
The Character Breakfast at Ravello: Pure Morning Magic
One of the most joyful experiences at the resort is the Good Morning Breakfast with Goofy & His Pals at Ravello — and it deserves its own spotlight.
Imagine a gourmet Four Seasons breakfast — fresh pastries, eggs made to order, carved meats, fruit, cereals, Mickey waffles, specialty dishes — but with Disney characters visiting your table like old friends.
No lines. No chaos. No rushing. Just warm, relaxed, magical moments.
Goofy arrives in his finest breakfast attire, Minnie twirls in her floral dress, and whichever pals join that day bring smiles big enough to last until dinner. Every guest gets personal time, photos, laughter, and a memory worth framing.
It’s the perfect way to start the day before heading to the parks or returning to the serenity of Explorer Island.
Dining That Dazzles — From Brunch to Michelin Star
Plancha
After a determined morning swim at the Oasis Pool, I walked over to Plancha at the golf course — where the cinnamon roll pancakes are so decadent they deserve their own billboard. Warm, buttery spirals of cinnamon layered into pancake perfection. Add in lakeside views and warm hospitality, and it becomes a must-do meal.
Ravello
Ravello serves fantastic Italian-inspired cuisine — its wood-fired oven was brought directly from Italy — and its pastas, pizzas, and house-made specialties are perfect for cozy dinners or relaxed mornings.
Capa — A Star From the Start
Perched on the 17th floor, the rooftop masterpiece Capa has held its Michelin Star since the beginning of Florida’s guide. It’s a Spanish-influenced steakhouse with an open kitchen, wood-fired grill, and a romantic patio overlooking the nightly fireworks.
Steaks with perfect char. Fresh local seafood. Tapas bursting with flavor. And yes — the churros deserve applause.
I shared an unforgettable evening there with new friends, cared for by Jared and Luis, who made the night feel warm, personal, and celebratory. Between the wine list (recognized among the Best 100 Wine Restaurants in the U.S.) and the panoramic views, it’s a dining experience that stays with you.
Where Every Day Ends With a Wink of Magic
Evenings glow with sunset colors that seem painted just for you. After dinner, you might wander to the lobby bar… or follow a quiet hint to a tucked-away speakeasy with a literary twist.
Pull the right card. Follow the right clue. And a perfect night finds its epilogue.
The Best of Both Worlds
Four Seasons Orlando offers true luxury with effortless access to the magic of Disney. Whether you’re using Minnie Van transportation to reach the parks or simply watching fireworks from your balcony, you’re in the center of enchantment with the comfort of a world-class resort.
It’s sunshine. It’s serenity. It’s Michelin-star dining and spa bliss. It’s lazy rivers and princess makeovers. It’s fireworks from your balcony. It’s moments that feel like stories you’ll want to tell again and again.
And it’s the kind of place where, for a few days, life feels beautifully, luxuriously easy.
Checking In: Four Seasons Orlando Hello from the breathtaking Four Seasons Resort Orlando at Walt Disney World® Resort — a serene, sophisticated escape spread across 26 acres of beautifully manicured grounds. Opened in 2014, the resort blends Five-Star luxury with Disney magic in a way that feels both elevated and wonderfully relaxed. I began my stay with a sunlit lunch at Lakehouse with Dana, where the views are as good as the food — glistening water, lush greenery, and that signature Four Seasons calm that makes you instantly exhale. It was the perfect welcome to the property’s understated elegance. At the heart of the resort is Explorer Island, the crown jewel of Orlando water parks. This vast aquatic playground features: A winding lazy river, Splash zones and water play areas, Water slides, Multiple pools for every mood Plus the serene, adults-only Oasis Pool, ideal for an afternoon of quiet sun and stillness. And at night? You can watch both EPCOT and Magic Kingdom fireworks right from the resort — a bit of Disney wonder floating above this peaceful retreat. I can’t wait to float through the lazy river, relax at the Spa, indulge in the incredible dining, and explore the beauty of this resort from sunrise to fireworks.
My Perfect Day at Four Seasons Orlando: Sunshine, Swim, Spa, Solarium, Sip, Shop I started my morning exactly the way a Four Seasons day should begin — soaking up the sunshine and taking a peaceful swim in the adults-only Oasis Pool. It’s quiet, elegant, and wrapped in palm trees, the kind of setting where your shoulders instantly drop and the rest of the world fades out. From there, I drifted into the Spa at Four Seasons Orlando, a sanctuary rooted in the brand’s long-standing history of nurturing care and heartfelt hospitality. Four Seasons spas around the world are known for weaving global healing traditions with modern wellness innovation, and this one carries that legacy beautifully. My Signature Honey Nourishing Massage by the talented Efrain was warm, soothing, and deeply restorative — performed on an extra-wide table for ultimate comfort. The Spa offers a wealth of treatments, from Tibetan Singing Bowls and IV therapies to magical warm honey massages — all designed to balance, restore, and indulge. Even the hair dryers are Dyson, because yes, they thought of everything. Afterward, I surrendered completely to the Solarium’s soft light and quiet calm. Reclining on an anti-gravity bed with a weighted blanket — prosecco in hand — I texted my friend: “I live here now forever. Come visit me here” Still glowing from spa bliss, I wandered to Wardrobe, the resort’s chic boutique where elevated resortwear meets subtle Walt Disney storytelling. I tried on elegant dresses (yes… still sipping prosecco) surrounded by curated brands and playful, sophisticated Disney-inspired touches. It’s stylish, whimsical, and unmistakably Four Seasons. Valerie and Donna helped me find all the right things, and just across the way is the incredible children’s shop, Fable, full of magical pieces for little ones. And the magic isn’t just for grown-ups. The Spa creates unforgettable moments for little guests too — from the Royal Treatment (princess dress, tiara, wand, makeup, nails, fairy dust, bracelet, certificate) to Belle of the Ball, complete with shimmering hairstyle, wand, nails, fairy dust, and that perfect princess sparkle. Sunshine → Swim → Spa → Solarium → Sip → ShopThe perfect Four Seasons flow — and the dreamiest way to spend a day in Orlando.
Four Seasons Orlando: Sunset, Supper & a Secret Ending! Tonight’s sunset at the Four Seasons Orlando felt like its own masterpiece — the sky brushed with shades of rose, coral, and gold until the last light slipped behind the palms. When evening settled in, I headed to Ravello, where dinner feels like a passport stamp straight to Italy. Their wood-fired oven truly came from Italy, the flour is from Italy… and the pizza? Let’s just say it’s worthy of a standing ovation. Warm, blistered, heavenly — everything you want after a day in the Florida sun. After dinner, I wandered into the Lobby Bar, ready to wrap up the day the way you close a beautiful book — with an epilogue. At the Four Seasons, that word means something a little… special.A little hidden.A little whispered. Let’s just say: if you know, you know — and if you don’t, you’ll want to keep your eyes open and your curiosity switched on. The perfect ending to a perfect day.
Waking up in my Park View Suite at Four Seasons Orlando is pure magic. One king bed, marble bathroom with separate tub and shower, double sinks, huge closets, and a spacious living area — 825 square feet of luxury where every detail whispers “rest and indulge.” The bed? Soft, sumptuous, and so inviting I felt like I was sleeping like royalty. Step out onto the double terrace balcony and sip your prosecco while overlooking the lush greenery, shimmering pools, and the Four Seasons Golf and Sports Club. By night, the Walt Disney World® fireworks light up the sky right in front of you — no crowds, no lines, just sparkling magic. The resort itself is a world of wonder: multiple pools including the serene adults-only Oasis Pool, Explorer Island water park with lazy river, slides, and splash zones, plus full-service spa and so many dining options — from lakeside bites at Lakehouse to Italian perfection at Ravello. And getting around? Easy with the convenient Minnie Van service whisking you to Disney parks. Adventure, relaxation, sun, and ultra-luxury all in one place.
A spectacular night at the Four Seasons Orlando, where I’m spending the weekend in my dreamy Park View Suite. Started with drinks with my new friends at the Lake House, then floated up to Capa — the Michelin-starred, Spanish-inspired rooftop steakhouse on the 17th floor. Dinner included expertly grilled steaks, or you can choose fresh Florida seafood, there are also incredible small plates/tapas and churros for dessert. Thank you to Jared and Luis who made my night unforgettable — taking care of every detail while guiding me through the menu and wine list (which was recognized by Wine Enthusiast as one of the Best 100 Wine Restaurants in the U.S). The open kitchen and wood-burning grill let you get up close to the culinary action, while the outdoor patio offers sweeping views of Walt Disney World fireworks — a perfect backdrop to a truly unforgettable evening. Whether you’re staying at the resort or visiting for a special night out, Capa is a rooftop gem not to miss.
Good Morning Magic at Ravello I absolutely loved the Good Morning Breakfast with Goofy & Friends at Ravello inside the Four Seasons Orlando — hands down one of the most joyful (and most underrated) ways to start a Disney day. This isn’t a chaotic character breakfast — it’s Disney magic with Four Seasons polish. Set in Ravello’s light-filled dining room, you enjoy a beautifully executed full buffet plus made-to-order dishes, all served with warmth and ease. Huge thanks to Donovan and Kristen for the wonderful service, and to Kareem at the omelette station — perfection. The spread is seriously impressive: fluffy pancakes with a full topping bar, French toast, waffles, fresh fruit, a honey station, pastries, oatmeal, cereals, breakfast meats, juices, smoothies, tea, and coffee — with omelettes made exactly how you like them. So many choices, and every bite felt thoughtful and fresh. Meanwhile, Mickey, Minnie, and Goofy stop right by your table for laughs, hugs, and unforgettable moments. I even had a dance with Goofy — and Minnie’s energy was completely infectious as she danced her way between the tables, spreading smiles everywhere. Pure joy. And a big bonus: the professional photography team captures it all seamlessly, with photos instantly available in the Walt Disney World app. No juggling phones. No stress. Just be present. Available Thursdays and Saturdays (and select Tuesdays), this experience perfectly captures what makes Four Seasons Orlando special — elevated hospitality paired with pure Disney magic. I left smiling like a kid… and already planning my return.
May the memories of Boris and Sofia Gurman be a blessing. And may Ahmed al Ahmad heal fully, knowing that Jewish history will remember his name with gratitude.
