I recently had the good luck to stay at The Four Seasons Resort at Walt Disney World for a 2 night stay with my husband, on our first-ever adult-only trip to Walt Disney World. I cannot recommend this resort enough! It was truly fantastic, from the impressive lobby to the luxurious rooms and amazing pools – it was a one-of-a-kind experience.
We checked in and were notified we received a little pixie dust in the terms of an upgraded room to a Park View Guestroom. We absolutely loved being able to see Epcot right from our room – a perk for fireworks viewing!
The room was very nice – we really enjoyed the size, it was just right for the two of us.
We took a tour around the property and we were absolutely impressed with the grounds. They are perfectly manicured, a lush tropical paradise.
The pools are fantastic. It was a bit rainy the day of our tour, so the pools had just opened and were not very crowded at all. The adult-only Oasis pool is a nice, quiet retreat and has a beautiful infinity edge that leads into the nearby pond. There is a full service restaurant, water pitchers available by request and overall a great, quite retreat for adults who are in need of a break.
The next pool was the impressive lazy river, which seemed to go on forever! We didn’t have our kids with us on this trip, however I know they would absolutely love to float in this lazy river! Our kids would also love the Splash Zone at the Four Seasons – we were blown away at how much fun this pool would be! It has everything, slides, play fountains, low depth splash pool and lots of other fun, interactive areas nearby.
There is also a traditional family pool area – which is your standard resort pool. It is also an infinity pool and I believe they have movies at night by the pool! Nearby there is also a Kids Club – which seems like a great way for the kids to enjoy themselves while adults relax at the Spa or Adult-only pool.
While these pools are not themed like you would find on Walt Disney World property, they are truly impressive and will provide hours of entertainment for your family while taking a break from the parks. We absolutely plan to bring our whole family back!
There are plenty of dining and shopping areas around the resort - and the food was really incredible. There are several gift shops, my personal favorite had Disney exclusive Stoney Clover bags. They were absolutely perfect - as well as many other adorable things (both Disney and non) for your little ones. There was a full service spa with a boutique as well.
In the morning we enjoyed the coffee and healthy breakfast options from Lickety Split. There is also gelato and a small grab and go section!
We ate dinner one night at Ravello, it was really tasty. The food, drinks and service were incredible! We sat out on the patio and watched a rainstorm roll in and it was a relaxing meal. Ravello also offers character breakfasts on select mornings – so another perk if you’re looking to see some Disney characters around property! We weren’t able to enjoy Capa, the rooftop steakhouse, but that is all the more reason to plan another trip back!
One thing to note, transportation to the parks would be tough without a rental car as the shuttles seemed to be pretty sporadic. Luckily, we did have a rental car and found that to be easy to get around the resort.
Overall, we would highly recommend the Four Seasons Resort at Walt Disney World if you are looking for a luxurious Walt Disney World vacation. There was plenty to do around the resort, with incredible pools and delicious dining this was a great pick for our adult-only trip!
