As if we weren’t already busy enough obsessing over the Fantasyland expansion…now news has come out that the $360 million luxury resort will begin construction in December.
The process started in 2008, when Disney approached the Four Seasons about putting a resort on Disney property. Why would Disney do this? Clearly they are proud of their own brand of hotels and offer perks to those staying at those resorts, so why reach out to Four Seasons? The answer can be summed up in two words, “Golden Oak”. This property is near the Golden Oak subdivision, and having a luxury hotel such as the Four Seasons will entice buyers (hopefully!).
The state of the economy stalled progress but now everyone is ready to move forward and break ground.
The Four Seasons will be a 444-room hotel, with up to 40 time-share units and 90 private residences. A restaurant on the roof of the hotel will offer views of the Magic Kingdom and a “lazy river” is in the plans as far as pools and water features go.
Expected to open in 2014 this Four Seasons is expected to be a mix of business travelers (its usual crowd) and “leisure travelers” (that’s fancy talk for “WDW peeps”).
