What’s special about Four Seasons’ Orlando resort?
Four Seasons’ Orlando hotel is the only non-Disney hotel within the borders of Walt Disney World (which is one of the best places to visit in Florida, by the way). The 26-acre property brings Four Seasons’ trademark service, class and sophistication to Disney’s enclave, offering an alternative to Walt Disney World’s already stellar lineup of luxe and mid-range properties.
The resort hosts a waterpark exclusive to Four Seasons guests

Walt Disney World is an incredible destination for families and Disney enthusiasts alike, but it’s no secret that its parks are busy. Four Seasons guests who want to escape the crowds for a day or two can enjoy Four Seasons Orlando Resort’s exclusive waterpark and recreation area. The park hosts a lazy river, water slides, game rooms and more (more on this below).
Guests can still enjoy select Disney World benefits
While not technically a Disney hotel in Orlando, Four Seasons does partner with Disney to bring some of the benefits ordinarily reserved for guests of Disney properties. Chief among these complimentary benefits is shuttle transportation to any of the major Disney parks (i.e., Magic Kingdom Park or Disney’s Animal Kingdom Park) as well as Disney Springs and ESPN’s Wide World of Sports Complex. Additionally, any merchandise you buy within the park can be taken directly to your Four Seasons room or suite for you, courtesy of the hotel.
The resort offers an excellent vantage point to witness Disney fireworks
Four Seasons’ Orlando hotel is set near the center of Walt Disney World. This allows guests to enjoy the parks’ fireworks displays from the comfort and convenience of the hotel’s rooftop terraces.
