I've visited Disney World for decades and recently stayed at the Four Seasons Resort Orlando.
Our room had one bedroom, two bathrooms, a private terrace, a wine machine, and more.

I've been visiting Disney World for over three decades, but I recently stayed at the Four Seasons Resort Orlando in Disney World's Golden Oak neighborhood for the first time.

My husband and I booked the 825-square-foot park-view suite with a bedroom, two bathrooms, and a view of Magic Kingdom.

Since we've pretty much stayed at every hotel in Disney World, we were curious how it would compare to our go-to picks. Here's how our stay went.

As a frequent Disney visitor and member of the media, a portion of my stay was covered by the resort. The one-bedroom suite would typically cost about $1,200 a night.

The property is inside Disney World's swanky Golden Oak community.

Four Seasons Resort Orlando operates as a full-service property.

The property felt much more upscale than the usual Disney resorts.

Manhattan's oldest surviving residence is said to be haunted. I toured the 18th-century mansion with ghost-hunting equipment and saw things I can't fully explain.
