"A luxe home base for Walt Disney World trips, this resort pairs family-focused onsite programming (kids’ camps and complimentary transportation to the park’s entrance, plus 30 minutes of early access) with resort amenities like a lazy river, dive-in movies, and wildlife exploration tours led by the resort’s nature guide. For elevated dining and nightly fireworks views, a Michelin-starred steakhouse on a high floor offers 17th-floor vantage points of the Magic Kingdom. T+L editor-in-chief Jacqui Gifford, who stayed with her family, wrote: “The family pool, character breakfast at Ravello, and kids check-in area give off family-friendly vibes, and it’s all part of the charm. Everyone embraced being there, and yes, you can wear Mickey ears.” Accessible rooms and suites include wide doors and roll-in showers; rates start at $1,095 per night." - Sarah Bruning Sarah Bruning Sarah Bruning is the special projects and surveys editor at Travel + Leisure, where she has been on staff since 2018.

"The Michelin Guide Awards ceremony was held at this resort in Orlando, where Florida winners were announced; the event also noted that 36 new restaurants received the Bib Gourmand distinction, the full Florida selection totals 172 restaurants across 39 cuisine types, and Franciacorta producers poured at the ceremony." - Henna Bakshi
"The 2025 Florida MICHELIN Guide Ceremony will be held in Orlando on April 17 at this resort, and the ceremony in Orlando will be invite-only. “We are excited to be back in Orlando to celebrate Florida’s culinary community and its many shining talents,” said Gwendal Poullennec, International Director of the MICHELIN Guide, in a statement. This year Greater Fort Lauderdale, the Palm Beaches, and St. Pete-Clearwater are new additions for award consideration, joining Greater Miami, Orlando, and Tampa; beginning in 2026, the selection will grow to cover all of Florida. The MICHELIN Guide is sponsored by the tourism boards of each state it covers in the U.S.: Visit Florida partnered with MICHELIN to produce the state’s guide, with Visit Florida originally paying MICHELIN $150,000 yearly for three years under a 2022 contract. In a renewal of the contract, Visit St. Pete-Clearwater will pay $90,000 per year to get the guide’s inspectors to visit and rank restaurants in the area, and MICHELIN will also be paid $150,000 for 2026, according to the Tampa Bay Times. Additionally, Visit Orlando has paid MICHELIN nearly $1,333,500 to publish guides from 2022 to 2026, as reported by Eater Miami contributor Faiyaz Kara, who got ahold of the contract. The guide uses up to a three-star rating system — one star: a “very good restaurant in its category,” two stars: “worthy of a detour,” and three stars: a “special journey” — and also awards Bib Gourmand status, an unstarred category given to high-caliber restaurants that serve a two-course meal for around $50 a person. Stars are not guaranteed, and MICHELIN inspectors are anonymous. All the winners will be listed on Eater Miami and the MICHELIN Guide app." - Henna Bakshi
"The Four Seasons Orlando makes a dramatic entrance. Hidden behind the gate of Disney’s upscale Golden Oak neighborhood, the 17-story luxury hotel towers in the distance as you wind through the well-manicured streets. Inside, you’re greeted with fireworks; more than 30,000 crystals hang from a chandelier, forming a dozen bursts of light. Rooms feature absurdly comfortable beds and abundant closet space. The desk is staffed by Disney cast members who will assist with any questions during your stay." - Valerie Marino
"Lyndsey Padden and her family visited Disney World, experiencing the theme parks without strollers and focusing on maximizing their enjoyment through strategic planning, while also navigating the challenges of dining and park logistics."
