Day 5, Part 5: The Four Seasons!
We last left off taking a break in the room.
Around 4 we started to get ready, and at 4:45 I called for a Minnie Van. I got one, but it was a little ways out, not arriving for about 20 minutes. So we finished getting ready before making our way downstairs to wait for our car.
Our Minnie Van arrived at 5:05, and soon we were on our way to Golden Oak! One thing that I found really interested was just how wooded it is between the WL and Golden Oak. It was easy to forget that we were still on Disney property!
It was a fast ride over, but we did have some trouble at the gate to get into Golden Oak, apparently someone important was going to be at the Four Seasons so they were doing extra screenings that evening, but they eventually let us through. The Minnie Van driver even commented she’s never seen anything like that before, so now I’m dying to know who was going to be at the Four Seasons that night!
We arrived at 5:25, and made our way inside.
Guys, this resort is nuts. I though the WL was quiet compared to most Disney resorts, but this was a whole new level of calm and quiet. You could hear a pin drop. Also, I felt so ridiculously underdressed, everyone we passed was dressed to the 9s, ballgowns, tuxes, all the glam.
Our plan this evening was to do a bit of exploring before dinner, but it felt a bit awkward doing that. Like I felt like we were being watched the entire time, and I wasn’t sure what their rules were about non-guests exploring. So we walked down the main hall a bit, checked out the stores and looked at the menu of the Lobby Bar before making our way to the front desk. I wanted to talk to someone for two reasons, first I had no idea where the restaurant we were going to was located, and two, I wanted to see if they had a brochure or something since we want to stay there next year.
We ended up chatting with the sweetest woman at the front desk, she told us we were more than welcome to explore as much as we wanted, then whipped out a map of the resort to show us all the cool places there and amenities they offered. We chatted with her for a while before heading to the elevators to get up to Capa!
Next up: Capa!
