Walt Disney World’s Four Seasons: Dom Corona’s Charming Art Walk

If you’re anything like me, you’ve always been curious what it’s like inside the Four Seasons at Walt Disney World Resort. After all, Four Seasons properties are known for their high-end clientele and elaborate amenities, and it’s no secret that the Orlando version has some pretty unique Disney theming. Plus, the WDW location lies nestled within Golden Oak, Disney’s pricey residential community—something else it’s normal to want to sneak a peek at.

Surprisingly, I’ve found Four Seasons Orlando to be extremely accessible, whether that’s through dinner at the property’s Michelin-starred steakhouse, Capa, or character dining at the Good Morning Breakfast with Goofy and His Pals. Now, there’s a new reason to stop by this beautiful property for a visit: Disney fine artist Dom Corona and his whimsical artwork.

Corona’s first art installation at the WDW Four Seasons took place in July 2023. Now, he’s returned to the hotel with a series of paintings custom-created for the hotel that will be on display from Nov. 1-30. Two of Corona’s larger paintings will remain on display at the hotel through the holiday season, until some time in January 2024.

What’s more, the resort’s The Lobby Bar restaurant is offering a themed menu celebrating the art installation. The menu features themed cocktails, mocktails, and dishes, all of which celebrate the flavors of fall and the featured artwork.

My husband and I recently visited Four Seasons Orlando for a date night, where we took in Corona’s latest art installation and tried a few bites from The Lobby Bar’s limited-time menu. The perk of dining at a Four Seasons restaurant while you’re viewing the art display, in addition to themed menus and delicious food, is that restaurants on the property validate valet parking when you dine there. If you’re traveling to WDW without your own car, however, it’s simple to travel to Four Seasons using a rideshare like Lyft or Uber.

Corona’s art display is best seen by following the resort’s “art walk,” a map that can be picked up in the resort lobby or at the Wardrobe store in the lobby and walks guests through where to find each of the paintings. The main display is located just outside of Wardrobe in the lobby. Here, you’ll find paintings like “McDucktorate,” which shows Scrooge McDuck looking fondly at a wreath made of cash, and “”Lobbunny,” a painting of Thumper against a background inspired by the wrought iron decor in the resort’s main lobby. 

You’ll also see a few paintings here that have interactive Instagram filters. After scanning a QR code to activate the filters, these paintings become animated and pop off the canvas and onto your phone screen. 

After checking out Corona’s work in the hotel lobby and lobby shop windows, it’s time to complete the art walk. We found this part of the evening to be the most fun, as it gave us a reason to walk around the grounds of the resort and see everything. We found Corona’s work in the resort’s spa, ice cream shop, kid’s club, and golf club and worked up an appetite while on our hunt.

At The Lobby Bar, we tried the Once Upon a Pumpkin ($18), a pumpkin espresso martini made with vanilla vodka. There’s also a mocktail option on the menu, the Royal Pumpkin Palette ($10), which is a mix of pumpkin spice syrup, apple juice, cinnamon, and agave.

We ordered the Off to the Ball Bisque ($15), a creamy soup made from roasted acorn pumpkin and topped with pepitas, and truly, I’d return again for this dish alone. We also tried the Sculpted Kebab ($20), two generous skewers of pork and sausage with an apple-spice brine and plenty of fresh rosemary. The entire meal was fall food perfection and the validated parking made our dinner stop well worth it.

Corona’s art is vibrant and colorful, a perfect mood boost for any Disney fan. And, the art walk is a great reason to visit Four Seasons Orlando and check out what the property is all about. If you’ve always been curious to visit, the art installation is a great excuse to go take a look.
