I couldn’t have dreamed up a better pool area for families. Our girls are 1 and 4, and the kids pool and splashpad were perfect. At no point was the water too deep for my 1-year- old to walk through, and my 4-year-old could splash around with no fear. There were water features galore at the splashpad section, and awesome mini waterfalls fall out of the top of cool rock columns. Just when we thought we were having the ultimate kiddie pool experience, we noticed the winding lazy river and grabbed tubes to get in. I can’t even count how many times we circled that thing because the girls-as well as adults- were loving it. The water fun never ended! There are 4 kid-friendly pools, plus a gorgeous adults-only pool. We also decided to eat lunch poolside, and the food was excellent. We all tried quite a few menu options, but the lobster roll was the clear favorite with the adults, while the kids loved the pizza and PB&J!
At night, (with a little assistance from grandparents) my husband and I managed a quick get-away to the hotel bar, which makes some delicious cocktails. We tried a bacon-in- fused bourbon (with an actual piece of bacon) and a delicious Vodka drink with a spray of rose water. The Four Seasons truly exceeded our expectations in every way; a truly tranquil, luxury resort, right on Disney property! -------------- Your “Must Do” Disney World Vacation with the Kids: Here’s How to Make It Mem- orable
With more than 50,000 daily visitors, Disney World is the #1 theme park in the world by attendance. Especially in North America, those with children are likely to find their way to Disney World sooner or later. With a little pre-planning, you can ensure that your trip will leave you and your family with many lifetime memories. To begin your visit, you will want to ensure that your Orlando-area lodgings are as plea- surable – and convenient – as feasible. A stellar choice would be the Four Seasons Resort at Disney World, located right on the grounds of the fabled theme park. The ambience begins with their beautiful marble lobby and the check-in staff that will greet you with cheerfulness guaranteed to get your stay off to a terrific start.
Once you’ve checked into your room – which can only be described as luxurious – you might just have time for the “Goofy & Friends” breakfast (be sure to make reservations beforehand). In addition to the hotel’s sumptuous breakfast, you and your family will enjoy a tableside visit from Goofy, Mickey, Minnie, Pluto and the gang. They will be very pleased to meet your children – and vice versa.
Once you’ve bid adieu to Minnie and her friends, you may well decide it’s time to enjoy the hotel amenities before heading to Disney World. One of the hotel’s multiple swimming pools would be a good beginning – perhaps the quiet “adults only” pool if your children are otherwise occupied. Or, perhaps your children have other ideas – namely, one of the many kid-friendly pools on the hotel premises. After a swim, you might decide that it’s time for lunch. Round up the kids and make a short walk over the wooden bridge leading to one of the hotel’s outdoor restaurants. We didn’t find anything on the menu that wasn’t tasty and delicious (and we tried quite a few cuisine options). However, sooner or later your kids are going to insist on heading to Disney World. From
