Who's staying at the Four Seasons?

[girli565]

Is there an article or something in print that has all this info about the 5-star hotels being built on property? I'd love to read about it.

Thanks

Also, the map posted above... is there a direct link, I can't seem to get it to show.

The most informative one I saw was http://blogs.orlandosentinel.com/business_tourism_aviation/2008/08/walt-disney-w-1.html from which I "borrowed" the rendering picture.

thanks for posting that....i couldn't figure out what area we were talking about....
is that near fort wilderness? if you keep driving past fort wilderness, do you get to there?

You can get there either by driving past Ft. Wilderness on Vista Blvd, or by driving north past OKW and POFQ/Riverside on Bonnet Creek Parkway. Bonnet Creek intersects the Fort Wilderness Road to the East of the entrance - turn left and you are there. (It's my favorite shortcut to the MK resort area from OKW - used it all the time for Disneyana conventions.)

I have my own rant about 4 seasons... but i am gonna compose and get all my thoughts in one place... but:

Hey Rex,

Just wanted to say that I think everything you stated here was a very logical and well reasoned explanation. I don't know that this particular deal will necessarily add much to Disney itself, nor take anything away, but as you said, will bring in a new client base perhaps.

One more thought I'd add, is that my biggest concern is the selling off of land. Granted, this particular transaction is a fairly small parcel in the big picture, and it sounds like it might be a good experiment, but I wouldn't want to see that become a semi-regular habit (which I'm afraid it's becoming)
