This was the best family vacation stay I have experienced! We took our son and his fiance and my…read moregrandaughter for a 5 night stay at this beautiful property. I have stayed at about 10 different four seasons and this was by far the best. The level of service is what you would expect with the four seasons brand but this hotel stands above the rest with beauty and things to do. We enjoyed the 5 acre water park every day and loved it. So much to do for families at the pool area and we dipped away from the kids for the quiet adults pool also. If you are staying here to visit Disney it was equally amazing with character breakfasts in Ravello and the Disney shuttles that ran very often. We mostly ate at the pool ( lakehouse) and in the evening at the hotel ( ravello/Lobby bar) The other place capa? on the roof was nice but we didnt dine there but we did enjoy using their balcony to watch the fireworks from magic kingdom/epcot. The Lickitysplit coffee/pastry/sandwich place was very convenient when we needed something on the go for our busy vacation plans outside the hotel. Shining star- Its hard to pick one person since every employee there is a 10/10 on service but Hannah in LakeHouse was a shinier diamond among diamonds she always went above and beyond for my picky grandaughter Bonus- Doing the Smores at the pool was something pretty amazing

We immediately sensed the difference between the two hotels with the promptness of the valet (thank you Donovan for your prompt greeting!) - within 10 seconds a of arrival someone was writing a ticket and another team member was opening my passenger door! We then enjoyed appetizers and cocktails with Alan at Capa; the service was five stars and then some! Our preferences had already been communicated to Ravello upon arrival, and I have to credit Alan AND Andrea and Sydney for making that happen. At Ravello we received Michelin star service from Faith; she knew we wanted to see the fireworks and made sure we didn't miss them, sending a birthday wine with us to the balcony for viewing. I'm floored in the best way by the INCREDIBLE service we received from start to finish at the Four seasons - thank you for giving us faith that a five star experience is still possible! We are local and will certainly return to enjoy this level of hospitality.

FABULOUSLY FANTASTIC! My FAVORITE Disney resort!!…read more I always experience a great stay here. Rooms are very spacious. The grounds are beautifully manicures. The pool lagoon is so much fun! Staff is extremely friendly!!

This was the first Disney resort I had been to. The first word that came to mind upon our arrival…read morewas "evocative". I was stunned by how beautiful this place was, and how throughly it made me feel like I was in a little enclave of New Orleans. It was quaint and quiet. When we were walking around there was even a horse-drawn carriage making its way down the street with passengers. (Note that the streets aren't open to traffic, just the carriages and maybe small vehicles that the resort employees use.) The lobby is beautiful and very large. There's a gift shop connected to the lobby, and also a little arcade area further back by the bathrooms. On the other side of the entryway courtyard is the quick service restaurant, Sassagoula's, and the coffee shop (the latter is where you'll get some delicious Mickey Mouse-shaped beignets). My favorite part was the splash pad and pool area. Not for myself, but because of my daughter. They have an amazing pool area. There's the larger pool, which has a serpent-shaped waterslide. Adjacent to that is a smaller splash pad area designed for kids. That splash pad area is HUGE! There are two water slides, one of which is enclose all the way around and is significantly the lager of the two. Opposite that is a smaller waterslide that is open and more appropriate for small children, like my toddler. There are a bunch of other water features like a few little water spouts that move around 360 degrees. There's a little wading pool that doesn't go deep, not even a foot, but fun to sit in and splash. There's also a huge water drum, filled up by a pipe at the top and when there's enough water it spins and releases all the water. That was a lot of fun for all the kids playing around. There was a downside. It may simply be the room that we were in, and it didn't feel small exactly, but if I recall correctly there were no drawers in the room. There was a little bathroom/sink area that had some shelves and a few hangers, but that's not really practical. If I was to consider staying here again, that might be a factor in my decision, because I if I stay here for more than three nights I like to be able to unpack my suitcase, not live out of it. Having said that, I did like this resort quite a lot. I would indeed consider staying here again, especially since we only stayed a single night. There's boat access to at least one park, which is helpful, and we took an Uber to Animal Kingdom. The pool/splash pad alone is a big pull towards this resort (the beignets don't hurt, either!), so next time we make it to Disney Port Orleans will be on my short list.

Our neighbors are talking and the their baby is crying. It literally sounds like they in our living room. The biggest draw back I see here is there is no eat-in quick service area. So inconvenient. As a long time DVC member we will most likely never book this resort again.

Out WEST We were…read moreguests of Disney's Old Key West Resort for 4 nights in November 2025. This was 1 of 3 resorts we stayed at during our trip, as we had wanted to do a "split stay", an idea given to us by AJ from DFB Guide (thanks AJ!). NOTES 1. The resort is large and spread out. If one needs to visit the main building of the resort (where the pool, registration, and Olivia's is located), wear comfortable shoes as the walk may be lengthy (depending on which building your room is located in). 2.We paid a little extra when to a book/reserve a room closer to the main building; it was about a 5-10 minute walk from our room. 3. I highly recommend downloading the My Disney Experience app, as this will allow you to check park hours, ride times, place mobile orders, and.....use as your room key. That Disney magic is wonderful. 4. There was no elevator in the building complex we were assigned to, so just be aware. Thankfully the building was only 2 stories (yes, if you haven't guessed already, our room was on the 2nd floor). 5. We checked in via the app, we so were able to go straight to our room. Unfortunately, the "room key" function on the app was out of order due to some network outage/problem. Thankfully, a worker (I think a manger of some rank) saw us struggling to enter our room, and came by to help us. After verifying our res, she unlocked the door. She also sent a worker to our room with physical room keys while we were settling in. 6. Reservation made thru David's Vacation Club; essentially we bought DVC (Disney Vacation Club) points to secure the res. 7. Parking was plentiful in the building lot (the lot was never full during our stay). 8. Guests will have to pass thru a security checkpoint before entering the resort property. HOTEL Amenities 1. As already stated, the main building contains the registration desk, pool, fitness center, ice machine (we found this out the hard way), gift shop (of course), and Olivia's restaurant (where we did have breakfast on our last day). Unfortunately, we only visited the main building for ice, and for breakfast at Olivia's.....and to drop off our suitcases for luggage transfer to our next resort. ROOM Amenities 1. 2 Queen beds 2. Flat screen tv 3. Small kitchenette area with microwave, sink, small fridge, toaster, and coffee maker with condiments. 4. Small lanai/balcony with table and chairs. 5. Small sitting area with table and chairs (this was our "dining table" and snack table during our stay). 6. Spacious bathroom with a decent amount of counter space. There were dispensers in the shower containing shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. We thought the room was incredibly spacious, and we appreciated the extra space beneath the beds for luggage storage. Since OKW is considered a DVC resort, we also were thankful for the kitchenette area, especially the small fridge where we stored drinks and leftovers. Lastly, the beds were quite comfy.....which made for a restful sleep after long days in the park. Though we paid extra for a room closer to the main building, I thought it was worth the additional fee(s) for the convenience. This was helpful since we had to drop off our suitcases over for the luggage transfer service. BOTTOM LINE Spacious room, comfy beds, considerable storage space, and friendly and helpful staff. Recommended.

5 Stars Our first…read morestay at Disney's Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa was a great experience. We stayed in a Deluxe Studio, and the room had plenty of space to feel comfortable without being oversized. The microwave, toaster & mini fridge were convenient for drinks, snacks, and quick meals during the stay. We were on the first floor, and having a sliding glass door that opened directly to a patio made the room feel even more relaxing. The resort was peaceful, well maintained, and a nice escape after busy days at Disney. We would definitely stay here again.

We recently stayed at Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort and overall had a really enjoyable…read moreexperience--it ended up being a great choice for our trip. There's a lot to love about this resort. The jogging trail and overall scenery are genuinely beautiful and make it feel like a relaxing escape after long park days. The freestyle soda machines were a nice perk, and the food quality exceeded expectations--it felt thoughtfully prepared rather than typical cafeteria-style resort food. Our room was very clean, which always makes a big difference, and the variety of transportation options to the parks was convenient and flexible. For what we paid, the value felt fair, especially considering the amenities. The pool area was also a highlight, and throughout our stay, the employees were consistently professional and helpful. The on-site laundry room was another underrated bonus--it made it easy to head home without a pile of laundry waiting. That said, there were a few drawbacks. We did notice gnats occasionally making their way into the room, which was frustrating. Transportation to Magic Kingdom in particular was inconsistent--the bus took a long time and caused us to miss early entry one morning. One bus driver interaction also stood out, as we were repeatedly corrected about our stroller not being "fully folded" (even though it was), along with strict direction on where we could stand or sit. Additionally, depending on your room location, the walk to Centertown Market can be quite long and inconvenient. The resort is also a bit far from any off-property convenience stores if you need to grab last-minute items, and the lack of a fitness center may be a downside for some guests. Overall, despite a few inconveniences, this was a fun and enjoyable place to stay. The positives definitely outweighed the negatives, and I would recommend it--and would stay here again.

When a vacation room has a door that faces the outside of the property I defined that as a motel and so that perception was immediately disappointing. We also experienced a lot of bugs coming in and out of the room and since you weren't in an interior space, traditional to a hotel, it contributed to having to walk through them. The resort is big in the pool area was nice. Getting from our room to the common area with food and gift shops seemed quite a distance, especially for us with a younger family. Travel to and from the park was convenient, although like any resort, very busy during peak times. Having visited other Disney resorts and resorts outside of the park, we would no longer choose to stay at the Caribbean beach resort.

It was also extremely busy during our stay, although the staff did a great job and were consistently friendly and helpful. We were "upgraded" to a pool view room which gives you a view of the fireworks at Magic Kingdom and Epoct. The biggest frustration was the elevators. They were slow, crowded, and there just didn't seem to be enough of them for the number of guests. We spent a lot of time waiting. The free shuttle to the parks was a nice perk and made getting around easy. The pool area is also very nice, but the best lounge chairs are reserved, and many guests claim chairs early in the morning by leaving towels or personal items on them, even when they're gone for hours. The bar overserves people. As a Hyatt Globalist, breakfast was included each morning. You can choose either the buffet or one entrée from the menu. We opted for the buffet, and while it wasn't anything exceptional, it had a good variety and was satisfying. The Wi-Fi was unreliable throughout our stay, which was disappointing. Room service was reasonably priced, but the food was just average and nothing memorable. One thing that could definitely be improved is the entrance gate. If one car is checking in, everyone behind them has to wait, even if they're already registered. It creates unnecessary backups. The resort fee felt high for what was actually included, especially considering the internet issues and some of the property's shortcomings. We got a good room rate, which helped offset the cost, but the added fees made the overall value less impressive. Overall, it's a decent place with excellent employees and some nice amenities, but there are enough operational issues that I'd probably look at other options before staying here again.

Background: Wedding venue was this location so for convenience I booked a reservation here…read more 1. When calling to schedule a shuttle to take me from the airport to the hotel, the person on the line gave me information and a number to call to make the arrangements. After inquiring how much it would cost she checked with the front desk only to find the shuttle service is no longer provided. Either way, regardless of the services offered--they should probably all know what is offered before giving clients information that won't work. 2. We were given the wrong keys to our valeted car (push to start). When we reached our destination we could not lock the car, come to find out we were given Honda keys for the infinity we were driving. We called our friend at the hotel who went downstairs to the valet to explain that we were stranded in a thunderstorm miles away because valet gave us the wrong keys. The valet guy found the correct keys for the car we needed and did not offer a solution. So our friend had to go find a family member who is also staying to get another car to drive to bring us the correct key. Wild af but what did I expect for Florida, I guess.

In the shower there is green shampoo(smells refreshing), white conditioner and a yellow body wash. The room's theme is Tiana. There's a 5 drawer bureau, a room safe, mini fridge and coffee maker.

I was surprised at how little I loved Port Orleans Riverside at the end of the trip. Our family was…read morebooked here as part of a Dance trip but looking at the photo's of the resort and with it being a notch above our previous Disney Resort ( Pop Century ) I had high hopes. We arrived early and were checked in with no real issues, we had a few hours until our room was ready so we decided to check our bags with the bell service and hang out by the pool. When we left the lobby we crossed the bridge to the pool but found it impossible to secure at least one available chair at 11am on a Sunday Morning. We eventually found someone willing to give up theirs and spent some time in the pool. Good size pool area but let down by a limited amount of chairs for the amount of people. We made our way to our room in the Oak Manor building and found it to be quite the hike from there to the main building, there was a pool that was a little closer ( Smaller ) so we spent some time there but found there to be no lifeguards on duty, Room was fine, clean with decent amenities. We found the on site restaurant ( Cafe not sit down restaurant ) to have limited choices of food and it gets VERY busy very often and I never saw more than 3 cashiers working at any one time...even though there were at least 6 registers. Last day was a let down, The previous afternoon I went to the front desk and requested a late check out the next day if it was available. I was told we were approved to check out at 12:30. The next morning I went into my Disney app and noticed that it still showed an 11am checkout, when I called the front desk they said they had no record of it and I would have to check out at 11am, I told them we already made plans that morning around the 12:30 checkout so they would have to honor it. 2 phone calls later I was told that due to our reservation being part of a group it normally wouldn't be allowed,but they would make an "exception". Look, if you weren't able to do that as part of a group maybe your desk staff should see that when they look up our reservation on their iPad and it shouldn't take 2-3 phone calls the next morning to get it sorted out. Annoying and honestly a pretty poor lack of communication. Would I stay here again ?? No. It's fine as far as Hotel's go but for me falls below the expectations the Disney experience should offer. Clean and fun in places but VERY spread out and with some glaring issues.

A Birthday Wish Come True: Magic and Mediterranean Charm at Suite 8882…read more If you are looking for a place where "European chic" meets "Disney Magic," look no further than Disney's Riviera Resort. We recently visited for a birthday celebration during the April Spring Break rush, and while the parks were bustling, the Riviera remained our peaceful, pixie-dusted sanctuary. As DVC members for 18 years, we've seen our fair share of resorts, but the Riviera continues to prove why joining the club was the best decision we ever made. The Enchantment of Suite 8882 We stayed in a one-bedroom suite (Room 8882), and to say it was spacious is an understatement. Even though it was just the two of us, this room could have easily hosted a whole "mouse-sized" army of five. The layout is pure Disney genius: Hidden Magic Beds: The living room features two hideaway beds that appear out of nowhere. One is tucked under the TV, and the other--a double--is hidden behind a stunning piece of wall art. For the Fans: As a huge Beauty and the Beast and Mickey/Minnie fan, seeing Cogsworth, Lumiere, Chip, and Mrs. Potts on the wall art was a total "Be Our Guest" moment. The "Royal" Bath: The bathroom setup is perfect for families (or an executive getting ready for a big day). With a standalone soaking tub and a separate enclosed shower/toilet area with two sinks, no one is ever stepping on each other's toes. Five-Star Amenities & Views The room was outfitted with everything a "Home Away from Home" needs--full kitchen, laundry (with soap!), and plenty of light. We especially loved the balcony, which offered a sweeping view of the courtyard, the lake, the Caribbean Resort, and the Skyliner gondolas gliding toward Epcot and Hollywood Studios. It's the perfect spot for a morning coffee before the parks "open up the gates." World-Class Service The cast members truly went above and beyond. From the warm welcome at registration (complete with a birthday pin!) to the incredible service at Topolino's Terrace and Primo Piatto, the hospitality was top-tier. Even the personalized welcome message on the two guest room TVs made us feel like the guests of honor. A Pro-Tip for Travelers: The Grocery "Snag" We did run into one minor "Goofy" moment with our Amazon grocery order. Important Detail: If your order contains alcohol, Disney staff cannot accept it on your behalf if you aren't physically present. Our flight was delayed, and the order was rejected. We simply re-ordered for the next day (sans alcohol to be safe), and the staff was wonderful about delivering everything straight to our room once we returned from the parks. Though the parks were crowded, our stay at the Riviera was a dream. Whether you're celebrating a birthday or just looking for some high-end relaxation, Room 8882 at the Riviera is where the magic happens!

I thought Disney's Riviera Resort was nice. It's themed after the French and Italian Riviera and…read morethe architecture of that area, so it has a bit of an upscale atmosphere. It's a big resort and, during our visit, it felt quite crowded. For example, Le Petit Café and the nearby seating areas (like the Voyageurs Lounge) were full of adults mostly working on their laptops. I believe the shop here, La Boutique, has Riviera-exclusive items--including some high-end clothing and resort-branded art--that you can't find anywhere else at Disney World. The highlight for us was Topolino's Terrace on the 10th floor. They serve Mediterranean cuisine and offer a great Character Dining experience at breakfast and fine dining at night. In terms of transportation, the Disney Skyliner has a station here with lines to EPCOT and Hollywood Studios. We took the Skyliner from EPCOT, which was convenient. There's also direct bus service to Magic Kingdom, which we utilized as well.
