Closer to the resort, there's anoth- er community of 30 homes known as The Four Seasons Private Resi- dences which is part of Golden Oak. During my visit this spring, only two homes have been completed, but the new neighborhood promises to take everything Golden Oak has done to the next level. These residents will have private access to resort ameni- ties and an elegant, hotel-inspired lifestyle. The design concepts mimic sleek finishes with clean lines, ab- sent of design blemishes like light switches. We visited a $7 million 6br/ 6ba which was the embodiment of the ultimate host house, with a Four Seasons Kitchen, an indoor-outdoor area, a Mickey suite and subtle de- tails which literally require scouring the earth to find. Four Seasons amenities extend to the home, and this includes every- thing from dry cleaning services, in-home chef services and use of the resort spa, gym, pools and waterpark. There's also a private connection to the resort, back entrance, tennis court, and golf course. During my visit, in-home breakfast was catered by the Disney team (who even man- aged to recreate a Manhattan bagel). Following this, the Club Member Ser- vices team at Golden Oak arranged tours for us—similar to what they do for residents—which brought us backstage and through lines at Epcot, Animal Kingdom, Magic Kingdom, and Hollywood Studios. An experi- ence completely divergent from that of my childhood. With the addition of a true luxury community, Orlando is getting the recognition it deserves as opposed to "the place where Mickey Mouse lives." Aside from a revamped Dis- ney Springs and the addition of the Residences at The Four Seasons in Golden Oak, high-end accommoda- tions are being built at Copper Creek Villas and Cabins adjacent to Wilder- ness Lodge. We closed our visit the same way I imagine nights will end for future Golden Oak residences, aboard a yacht, cruising beneath the Magic Kingdom's Saturday fireworks, eyes fixated on the endless bursts of color exploding in the evening sky.
