That pool area looks very nice. I am interested to hear back from people who stay there how the internal transportation works. We like Disney's buses and things and we would like to know if the 4 Seasons runs all the parks and things as often as Disney does.

It looks totally awesome. I've always wanted to stay at a Four Seasons. Is it "Disney" enough fo me I wonder? My husband will love it and it could be a good compromise (as he isn't a big Disney fan) ... But will I feel like I am at Disney?

We just got back and I will try to have a review up soon.
Super short summary- Phenomenal, bus schedule needs a bit of work, does not have a Disney feel (but it does have a Disney desk with very friendly DIsney cast members) and hands down best staff of anywhere I have ever stayed.

I'm still not sure it's a great Disney resort, but definitely a great resort for a wonderful hotel stay. Luxury and service are always standouts at Four Seasons resorts. I really enjoyed your Facebook look at it, Cindy. Thank you.

I think I agree with that assessment , Sherri. It could be a great Disney resort but they need to work out the transportation to make that happen.
I'm glad you enjoyed the picture. I should have a few more this week including a look at the character breakfast.

Thanks for the summary, Cindy, and the pictures on Facebook. As the hotel recently opened, I think they'll work out the transportation issues, especially if enough people say something.
I think that this hotel will fill a need for those whose first priority is the overall luxury and service of a hotel rather than a Disney feel, which is odd for Disney fans like us on this board. I will use one of my cousins who lives in Tampa as an example. They are people of considerable means and luxury and service are their first priority when they vacation. When his family of 4 stayed in a 1 bedroom at BLT, they were not impressed. As his wife told me, while it was nice to be close to one of the parks, they did not think the hotel offered enough of what they wanted. I know that meant that the resort did not make them feel pampered. They have since been staying at the Ritz Carlton for their weekend trips with their 2 boys. I think they will love the Four Seasons.

I agree, Christine. I had a talk with the manager about the transportation schedule because my daughter and I missed the last bus from the Magic Kingdom Saturday night because they did not schedule the buses late enough. The last bus left at 11:40 from the TTC on a night that MK closed at 11pm and had a 11 parade. He told me that they were working off a schedule that Disney World had suggested. I told him that based on my experience that is too early for the Magic Kingdom and they need to have buses available for at least an 1 1/2 after close. They are going to check into it.
I will say their response was fantastic. He was very concerned about our situation. They did not have a car available to pick us up, so they had us take a taxi back to the hotel and they paid for it.

I am surprised at those room rates -- I expected them to be much higher for a Four Seasons. Thanks for the photos. That Explorer Island looks fabulous!
Many visits over 35+ years!

So the buses for the 4 Seasons picked up and dropped off at T&T not out front with the Disney resorts? How about the other parks/water parks/DTD? Did the buses run as often or where you waiting more?

I took note last weekend while we were at WDW that a 4 Seasons bus for HS was dropping off/picking up but it was quiet far from the gate of the park. A little bit of a walk involved.

Sorry I missed this question. Since the Four Season's is not a Disney resort even though it is on Disney property , they have to use the bus lots set up for the outside hotels. These are always farther away than where Disney buses drop off. At the MK drop off, the Four Seasons bus did have the first spot in that lot but I would not consider it close.
The MK lot is at the TTC past the gift shop.
I talked about my experience at the Four Seasons on the most recent podcast and will still do a follow up review.
