Four Seasons Orlando transportation to Disney?
Has anyone stayed there? I'm curious about the transportation compared to Disney resorts.

Re: Four Seasons Orlando transportation to Disney?
They have a coach bus that takes you to the TTC. From there, you can take the monorail to MK or EP.
We drove to AK and HS but the bus goes there too. Can't remember if it was one bus that goes to TTC and AK/HS or if there were separate buses.
It is not Disney transportation. I was a little annoyed that they did not have a schedule the day before. We just headed out to the bus stop around an hour before rope drop and the bus came within 10 min. I want to say the bus leaves every 30 min. The bus driver was able to give us a schedule but front desk/concierge did not have it.
The resort is beautiful. Absolutely fabulous pool.
eta: we stayed there shortly after it opened. they may have better schedules available now.

Thanks! Was the transportation more or less convenient than Disney resorts? I'm trying to weigh out the pros and cons.

I really hate Disney buses so I thought Four Seasons was actually better. The only Disney buses I have taken were the ones by Boardwalk, Disney Swan, Beach/Yacht Club and it took FOREVER to go to all those resorts. I stopped taking buses after that. At least Four Seasons is only picking up your hotel and headed straight to TTC. Once you get the schedule, you will know when the bus comes vs Disney buses you are just waiting for the next one and not really knowing when the next one will be.
I only take Disney transportation via monorail or boat. No buses.

Four Seasons Orlando transportation to Disney?
The resort is absolutely beautiful and we will definitely be staying there again next time we head to Disney, but we were pretty disappointed in the bus service. It's a nice big coach bus that was never full and you can put your stroller in without having to fold it up, however, it didn't run as frequently as we would have liked and would usually stop at multiple parks before heading back to the hotel.
We ended up taking a cab the majority of the time and that really added up. We could have done UBER, which I heard after the fact was way less expensive.
The hotel was really so beautiful though and when we were pricing it out it was less expensive than the Disney Deluxe hotels and in my opinion so, so much nicer.

So there is only one bus that goes to both TTC and HS and AK?
We stayed there when DH had a conference. I would take bus to TTC for MK/EP and DH would drive and meet us at parks. We never took the bus home back to the resort.

So there was one bus for MK and then one bus for Epcot, HS and AK, but for some reason both times we tried to take the bus back from MK we were told they had to make a stop at AK or Epcot first and then return to the hotel, which would add another 40 minutes onto the trip. DD was only 18 months when we went so we just wanted to get back to the hotel ASAP and ended up taking a cab.
I think if we had planned it better we would have had better success with the transportation, but we were there primarily for the princess half marathon so hadn't really "planned" disney.
