Beckers 1,136 Posted February 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 Maybe I'm confused (highly possible!!) I thought this was making it seem like it is a Disney hotel? Like with transportation and all? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted February 5, 2014 Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 Maybe I'm confused (highly possible!!) I thought this was making it seem like it is a Disney hotel? Like with transportation and all? In the comments section, the person who posted that says that Four Seasons guests are eligible for the Dining Plan and EMH's. That's the first I heard of this. What kind of rates are the offering on the package they're advertising? I just checked what the rack rate was for one night in August- they began at $645 a night for a one king bed room. What a deal.

That's the first I heard of this. Me too.She also says "yes" to busing. If it's WDW busing, which I doubt that people staying there would want to get on a bus with all you lowlifes, that's the first I've heard about it. I'm not saying that it's not correct, it's just the first time I've heard that. It sounded early on that they would have their own transportation. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not saying that it's not correct, it's just the first time I've heard that. It sounded early on that they would have their own transportation. I just spent a few minutes poking around the Four Seasons website- there is more information there than the last time I looked. There are descriptions of the restaurants, none of which sound like they are set up to work with the Disney Dining Plan. I would think if Four Seasons guests got DDP, EMH and Disney transportation, that would be mentioned on the Four Seasons website. It isn't. TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DaveInTN 3,247 Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 There are lots of people that thumb their nose at Disney properties. Even the GF. There is a segment of the population that will likely feel the Four Seasons offers a level of luxury and exclusivity that no Disney property can provide, whether it's true or not. And certainly, while many well heeled travelers will stay there, there will be a number of wannabees who are financially squeezing into their stay, but would look down upon the Fort (figuratively, although literally as well) even though there are RV's down there that would put their homes to shame. In any case, it's all image, marketing, branding, and the such. Plus, I'm sure the Four Seasons WILL be super nice. And after Yuri sneaks into that Lazy River and brings back photos, we'll all have the proof. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lou... 3,118 Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 There are no Disney 5 star resorts at WDW, but when it does open, that 4 Seasons will be one.The Grand Floridian is the closest with a rating of between 4 and 4-1/2 stars. They just can't seem to get the 5th full star.And even though they won't have boat or monorail service, which goes directly to only one of the 8 destinations, I'm betting that whatever they do have will be quicker and more convenient than the boat or monofail.

I see it the same way you do- actual rich people will probably still turn their nose up at any hotel located at Disney World. This is more for the wannabees. But, I think a wannabee is still going to want Magical Express, the Disney Dining Plan, Extra Magic Hours, Disney Transportation, etc. I am very interested to see how this all plays out. There are no Disney 5 star resorts at WDW, but when it does open, that 4 Seasons will be one.The Grand Floridian is the closest with a rating of between 4 and 4-1/2 stars.

I have my doubts as to whether a person with the means to afford a 5 star resort is interested in spending much time in WDW rubbing elbows with the sweaty masses. Monofail? Good one.

Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted February 7, 2014 Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 In case it disappears, I screen-capped the comments section of the page that SSB linked: The person running the travel agency promoting this is telling his customers that Four Seasons guests are eligible for the Disney Dining Plan and Extra Magic Hours, and that he thinks they will have bus service "like other Disney resorts." I highly doubt all of that. TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I also meant to point out the fact that almost every one of the questions asked is about discounts and Disney resort perks. Not exactly the Four Seasons demographic.

I would think that 5 star hotel guests are not concerned with Disney Discounts. If they are... they can't afford the 5 star hotel. Just an observation. The perk would be that you have enough money to afford to stay at the Four Seasons. That would make me perky for sure. I'm really interested to see what the end result is with this. I wish the end result was... nevermind. I am going to be positive and not a grumpy pants. VIVA Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort And Campground! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted February 7, 2014 Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 Hey, this looks cool! Do you suppose those are artist renditions of little freeloaders? I saw that drawing on the Four Seasons site too. I screen-capped it to use for a comment I'm going to make in my current TR. I have to admit it looks pretty nice- you can see people floating in tubes by a waterfall all the way over on the far left- and then there's that big waterslide on the far right. There's no doubt that they will have folks trying to freeload- I'll bet they will actually make an effort to keep them out. TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
