I mean is that I was very
young in New York, and that at
some point the golden rhythm
was broken, and I am not that
young anymore,” the late Joan
Didion famously wrote in her
1967 essay “Goodbye to All
“All
That”, capturing the essence of
every New Yorker’s predicament – while you might not be
ready to pack up permanently, most of us can at least
relate to the sentiment that a little vacation never hurt
anybody, and the warm weather and endless
activities in Orlando might be the best penicillin this
season.
Nestled in a secluded, residential setting within 26
sprawling acres, Four Seasons Resort Orlando at Walt
Disney World Resort is a AAA Five Diamond
Resort featuring five-star dining, a serene spa and scenic
surroundings which are sure to make your stay as
magical as the nearby theme parks. From a relaxing
couple’s retreat to a family-friendly getaway, a trip to this
stylish yet laidback property offers something for even
the most discerning traveler.
In the Park View Room, you can wake up to your
outside view of the lush greenery surrounding the Four
Seasons Golf and Sports Club. Kickstart your morning
on a high note at the casual Ravello, where
you can indulge in freshly brewed coffee, or enjoy
a Truffle Forager Omelette while spending some quality
time with Goofy & His Pals at the character breakfast
offered every Thursday and Saturday.
After an energizing morning, head to Explorer Island,
the resort’s private five-acre water park, where familyfriendly
fun abounds, or tune into your inner senses upon
listening to underwater music at Oasis, the adult-only
pool. Make it a family fun day in their own 7,590 squarefoot
family pool which offers complimentary supervised
swimming twice daily. The pool menu offers mocktails,
entrees and small bites. Meanwhile, the Hideout game
room offers billiards, interactive touch-screen tables and
all the latest in video gaming for indoor fun.
When lunchtime comes around, swing by Plancha for
a delectable mix of American clubhouse favorites and
Florida fare at the picturesque setting of the lakeside golf
clubhouse, just a short stroll from the resort or a quick
golf cart ride from the front drive. If the day calls for some
rest and relaxation, retreat to your stunning Grand Suite
and enjoy a meal in the dining area set for eight. From
here you can fill the day with endless possibilities – head
back out to the Tom Fazio golf course for a second
round, experience Disney World, located right in your
own backyard, or forge new connections with loved ones
at the spa which offers sticks and stones massage, as well
as intravenous hydration and vitamin
injections, and salon services which are sure to get you
glammed up for an unforgettable night out.
Whether your day is filled with adventure or relaxation
– or both - you are sure to want to settle into your table
at Capa, the 17 th -floor rooftop steakhouse and bar that
showcases expertly wood-fired prime cuts and unique
Spanish-influenced cuisine. Ease into the night with a
drink of your choice from a wine and cocktail program
that emphasizes both regional specialties and global
classics, and then move on to tapas and charcuterie
before finally feasting on the prime Porterhouse Steak.
When the gastronomy extravaganza comes to a halt, it’s
time to carry on the night on Capa’s terrace, where you
can relish an enchanted moment as the Magic Kingdom
Fireworks set the night sky ablaze.
When you’re ready for some respite from the New York
hustle, Four Seasons Orlando offers all the
entertainment, thrills, and high-end amenities you need
for a stylish stay this season. P
