OPENED IN THE SUMMER OF 2014,
the plush Four Seasons lies inside Golden
Oak, a gated residential development on Walt Disney World property. The Spanish
Revival-inspired architecture calls to mind Florida's grand resorts of the early 20th
century. Standard-view rooms look out onto the resort's lawns, gardens, and nearby
homes in Golden Oak. Lake-view rooms, which overlook the lake, the Tom
Fazio-designed Tranquilo Golf Club (formerly Disney's Osprey Ridge Golf Course),
or the pool, cost about $100 more per night than standard-view rooms. “Park view”
rooms, on floors 6-16, cost about $200 more per night than standard-view rooms
and offer views of the Magic Kingdom's nightly fireworks. (Suites are available with
views of Epcot, too.)
