Thing I can't figure out is why the rooms with two beds are only double beds not queens. Although the fact that the king rooms have a queen sofa bed is something I guess.

Exactly this ^^^ Plus, the main reason we go to Orlando is to go to Disney. For that kind of money, I can stay at a Deluxe resort and have terrific transportation options, see fireworks nitely, and essentially, be worry free.

Please report back with how your stay at the Four Seasons goes. If the service level and amenities are similar to other Four Seasons and there is convenient transportation to the parks, it seems like the best of both worlds to me. The GF is very nice, but it's no Four Seasons.

That is because it is located in the Golden Oak community, the new million dollar neighborhood Disney built.

For me, it would be because the Four Seasons I have stayed at are nicer and offer better service than the Disney Deluxe resorts I have stayed at (GF, Poly, and Contemporary). For my next Orlando trip this November, I will be staying at a Universal Studios hotel, but the next time I stay at WDW, I plan to give the Four Seasons a try.

I'm as much of a disney nut as most folks here. Disney Deluxe is by and large oceans away from Four Seasons level of Deluxe.
I am in your camp. I hit the pixie dust hard a couple of decades ago and have been hooked ever since. I love the feeling of never leaving that staying at a Disney resort provides. However, there are a number of travelers that want/demand what the 4 Seasons offers and Disney Deluxe resorts simply don't. I was glad to see Disney cut a deal with them to put a real luxury resort right in the middle of it all.

But meanwhile, there are people who think you're insane to spend Deluxe resort money because they're just as happy staying in the Values because they're just thrilled to be on property. Some people think you're insane but the Values are a zoo and find the Mods to be perfect for them. Still others think we're all a bunch of candya$$es and would only ever camp at Fort Wilderness, no RV or trailer just the tent thank you very much. Still others are just as happy at a $40/night hotels in Kissimmee and think none of us knows the value of a dollar. Still others want to go to Four Season but wouldn't be caught dead in a standard room! Like a commoner! Suites or nothing! And yet still others prefer booking one of the All Star Vacation homes or other local vacation home rentals where you often get 3 bed rooms and your own private pool for less than a price of a mod resort.
It takes different strokes.
Yes. It takes different strokes.
YES! IT TAKES DIFFERENT STROKES TO MOVE THE WORLD!!!

Per 4 seasons, they are not WDW buses, they are luxury motor coaches. They posted photos of the exterior on their instagram page, but not the interior. Not sure how they will differ from a typical bus. They are also branded "Four Seasons" and not WDW.

A man is boooorrnnn, he's a man of means (and obviously staying at the Four Seasons)
Then along comes two, they got nothing but their jeans...(that would be me staying at a value resort)

The thing about the bus transportation is that, for me, I would settle for less frequent bus service if it showed up and left on a set schedule.
Once an hour, on the hour, with a bus guaranteed to leave for its designated park at that exact time? Where do I sign up, because with planning, it's actually a real timesaver.

Where people stay boils down to three things. How much a person can AFFORD to pay for what they want, how much they are WILLING to pay, even if they could afford to pay more and where they PREFER to be, convenience wise.

The quality, amenities, and theme of the hotel or resort also make a big difference; It isn't just a question of price and convenience. Indeed, just having the Disney name on the property makes a far bigger difference than it reasonably should, or else the Hotel Plaza establishments would be the most popular hotels on Disney property (generally superior amenities and quality to Disney's own resorts, at a fraction of the price).
Four Seasons should be a true deluxe resort experience, far superior (possibly excepting the appeal of theme) to Disney's own resorts. It will be interesting to see how this plays out.

Definitely quality, amenities and theme enter into where a person would like to stay. However, if they can't AFFORD to stay at the Grand Floridian or the Four Seasons, no matter how much they would like to stay there, they can't afford to.
Of course there are those who will go into debt to stay there. That dosen't mean they could afford it.

I agree in theory, but I think it only works for a place like Four Seasons with 450 rooms. They could never do this with a moderate or value resort with 2,000 plus rooms. If one bus comes every hour on the hour and each bus holds say 100 people if you arrive 15 minutes before the bus arrives and are the 101st person in line you are waiting 75 mins now. With a smaller resort like 4 seasons it may never be a problem, but probably wouldn't be great for bigger Disney resorts.
