Travel Expert Gives the Lowdown on the Four Seasons Orlando After Viral Baby Meme
When it comes to luxury hotel brands, Four Seasons is the cream of the crop. Just to give you an idea, the first season of The White Lotus was filmed at the Four Seasons resort in Maui. Their resorts are as deluxe as they come, and on average, even a basic room can go for hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars per night.
And, in the case of the Four Seasons Orlando, it's also baby-approved.
If you're on TikTok, by now you've probably seen the massive viral video of the baby gleefully responding "Me!" with a raised hand at the prospect of a stay at the Four Seasons Orlando. It's such a hilariously uncharacteristic response from a one-year-old. So if even babies love the Four Seasons Orlando, it's gotta be a hit, right? Travel expert Shay Spence decided to find out for himself:
After seeing @theshayspence dive into the Four Seasons Orlando, I can see why the Four Seasons' littlest fan was just as hyped as her parents and older siblings. This place looks like a ton of fun for all ages- even putting aside the fact that the resort is located on Disney World property!
First up, the hotel pools are straight-up awesome. If anything, the Four Seasons' setup is more like a mini water park, with big water slides, a lazy river, a big splash pad for the kiddos, and a deluxe Oasis pool for the grown-ups. There's something for everyone in the family to love!
Secondly, even though the Four Seasons isn't a Disney-branded resort, it has a Disney character breakfast! Shay got a kick out of meeting Mickey, Goofy, and the gang dressed up in golf attire- plus, you know, who doesn't like bottomless mimosas with their breakfast buffet? Once again, we've got a little something for the grown-ups and the kids to enjoy. The Four Seasons is swanky, but it's not stuffy!
Grown-Up Luxury at the Four Seasons
The Four Seasons Orlando definitely caters to a family crowd, but it doesn't go all in on the cartoonish theming the way that some of the Disney-branded resorts do. Beyond the adults-only pools and the bottomless mimosas Shay mentioned, there's still plenty of awesome amenities just for the adult crowd to enjoy.
For one, Shay touched on the resort's more upscale dining options, like their swanky rooftop tapas restaurant Capa and their great room service. He only scratched the surface, though. Online, the Four Seasons Orlando also lists their modern Latin American restaurant Plancha, the Florida-inspired PB&G, and the upscale Italian restaurant Ravello, which also has a demo kitchen that hosts interactive group dinners and cooking classes. That's not even counting the resort's extra bars and cafes... look, suffice to say, any foodies in your party will be satisfied.
In addition to the extensive pool facilities, the Four Seasons has an extensive private golf course, three on-site boutiques, a large luxury spa, a full service hair and nail salon, tennis and basketball courts, and much more. Plus, guests get early entry to all Disney World parks and complimentary transportation to boot!
Of course, this all comes with a reminder that the Four Seasons is really, really expensive. Rates are obviously variable, but my cursory checks turned up rates starting at $1,400 a night, so brace yourself. Still, there's no denying you get a lot of bang for your buck, as Shay Spence found out for himself. It's travel pro tested, kid approved!
