food IS a theme park
Let’s be honest: if you are paying Disney World prices, you want every possible second of park time squeezed out of that vacation like the last drop of cold brew on a rope-drop morning.
EPCOT
And thankfully, some hotels really do help with that.
We all love character dining, right?
Goofy at Ravello
There are many great places to have a character meal in Disney World. Sure you can go to places like Akershus Royal Banquet Hall in EPCOT, Cinderella’s Royal Table in Magic Kingdom, Tusker House Restaurant in Animal Kingdom, and Hollywood & Vine Restaurant at Hollywood Studios, but there are also spots in the resorts you should check out! We’ve talked about the character dining at Ravello Italian Restaurant at the Four Seasons Resort Orlando, but we learned about another dining experience at the resort that had our jaws drop. Let’s talk about it!
Disney World isn’t all hot dogs and churros you guys, and if that’s all you’re eating, you’re doing it WRONG.
Capa at the Four Seasons Orlando
There are some truly phenomenal restaurants around Disney World property, including a variety of signature restaurants where you can try high-end offerings. You’ve probably heard of some of the most famous of these spots, like California Grill and Le Cellier, but there are other top-notch restaurants HIDING around property. And recently, we visited Disney World’s fanciest hotel to check out a spot you may have never heard of.
Some people have STRONG opinions about Disney World hotels. While some people prefer the simplicity (and price) of Disney’s Value Resorts, others like the convenience and elegance of Disney’s Deluxe Resorts. Then, of course, many people opt for Disney’s Moderate Resorts, which offer a nice compromise of affordability and selection.
What’s your guess?
Pretty much every family you talk to will have a different answer, but today, we’re looking to some professionals to see which Disney hotels are ranked among the BEST in Orlando!
Disney World hotels aren’t your ONLY option when it comes to accommodations for your trip.
Fireworks at the Magic Kingdom
Four Seasons Resort Orlando is one of the many hotel options in Disney World that are NOT owned by Disney. This luxury spot is minutes away from the park and offers some pretty unique amenities like…a private fireworks dessert party!?
Disney World has a lot of iconic hotels.
Grand Floridian
But there are some great options that aren’t owned by Disney! One of those is the Four Seasons Resort Orlando, situated just minutes away from the parks. And believe it or not, it just sold for some MAJOR cash.
We keep a close eye on the latest Disney deals and discounts for you.
EPCOT
We’ve found a ton of April savings for ya, as well as merch sales and more. But if you’re planning a trip to Disney World, you’ll want to know about this way to score a FREE night at a hotel.
Certain experiences remain unavailable in Disney World due to limited operations.
Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique
High-touch, high-contact activities are currently suspended — and that includes Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique, which is closed until further notice. But if your little one is interested in a princess makeover, they can still get one (whaaat?!). You’ll just have to travel a short ways away from the castle!
If you’re searching for a hotel for your trip to Disney, you may want to look into this special offer!
Four Seasons Resort Orlando Pool
There’s already so many chances to save on your stays: the Disney Springs area hotels, Disney’s Aulani Resort, and even on-property resorts in Disney World offer some great deals. But another resort just off Disney property is now serving up some special offers, too!
We are counting down the days until we can go back to Walt Disney World on July 11, but that doesn’t mean we can’t book our room at the Four Seasons Resort Orlando, which reopens July 1.
Four Seasons Resort Orlando
Not only is Central Florida’s only Five Diamond Rated Award resort reopening SOON, but it is also offering a Florida resident rate discount!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
