1 March 2007: Disney announces resort expansions
LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla., March 1 /PRNewswire/ -- Walt Disney World Resort today announced two new projects as part of an expansion plan for the resort in Central Florida: a new 900-acre luxury resort anchored by the prestigious Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts and a 450-acre retail, dining and lodging district on the western edge of the Disney resort. "These projects are first-of-a-kind for Walt Disney World and we are thrilled to be able to bring Four Seasons to our resort," said Meg Crofton, president of Walt Disney World Resort. "Families around the globe know they can trust Disney to deliver magical experiences and Four Seasons to offer exceptional service and amenities. Combined, this is a huge win for devotees of both brands and for Central Florida," said Crofton.
LUXURY DESTINATION RESORT - NORTHEAST RESORT AREA
Along the northeast border of Walt Disney World Resort, Disney plans to
convert its Eagle Pines and Osprey Ridge golf courses into a luxury
resort and golf community. The development will include a luxury hotel,
18-hole championship golf course, single- and multi-family vacation
homes and
fractional ownership vacation homes. Disney entered into a letter of
intent with Four Seasons Hotels and
Resorts to bring these two complementary and respected brands together
to anchor a new world-class family resort destination. Four Seasons is
dedicated to perfecting the travel experience through continuous
innovation and the highest standards of hospitality. Currently with 74
hotels in 31 countries, and more than 25 properties under development,
Four Seasons continues to lead the hospitality industry with innovative
enhancements, making business travel easier and leisure travel more
rewarding. The deeply instilled Four Seasons culture is personified in
its employees -- people who share a single focus and are inspired to
offer great service. Four Seasons currently operates two properties in
Florida,
Four Seasons Hotel Miami and the Four Seasons Resort Palm Beach. "The
Resort will have all the ingredients needed to create memorable
vacations: gracious and caring staff; beautiful surroundings that are
thoughtfully designed; and services and amenities that make every
experience one to cherish," said Kathleen Taylor, president and chief
operating officer, Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts. "It's an honor to
collaborate with Walt Disney World Resort on this project. Walt Disney's
reputation for service excellence and exceptional family entertainment
amenities is an ideal complement to the values of Four Seasons. Central
Florida will be a valuable addition to our family of resorts,
particularly since this is a destination our guests already enjoy." Once
terms of the project are finalized, site work could begin later this
year, with a hotel opening forecasted for 2010.
