Best for families and active groups who want lots of on-site recreation, water features and golf without leaving the property.

Best for travelers who want a five-star, service-led Disney-area stay with a full-service spa, multiple fine-dining options and extensive concierge services.
When Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress wins: pick Hyatt if you want a broad range of on-site activities (golf, a huge lagoon pool with waterslide and grotto, private lake water sports, tennis/pickleball), large grounds, family-friendly programming and more economical, flexible rooms.
When Four Seasons Resort Orlando wins: choose Four Seasons for a higher-touch, ultra-luxury experience — more formal dining and bars, a full-service Mediterranean-style resort experience, multiple on-site pools, extensive meeting/banquet options and direct positioning inside the Walt Disney World resort area.
Bottom line: both properties are convenient for Disney and offer pools, spas and restaurants, but Hyatt leans active and family-oriented across a very large campus while Four Seasons prioritizes luxury service, restaurant variety and a premium Disney-adjacent location.
