Kate’s aunt, Stefanie O’Brien, provided a window into their enchanting celebrations through videos shared on TikTok, which have since accumulated substantial views. Some of their recent adventures at the resort were featured in a conversation with PEOPLE, highlighting Kate’s ongoing fondness for the Four Seasons hotels and the impactful memories her family has created there.
Since her initial foray into viral fame, young Kate has been busy. O’Brien expressed that life has been a whirlwind for Kate, balancing preschool, family time, and exploring new experiences, all while keeping her signature ponytail in place. “Of course, her favourite activity remains globetrotting with her sister Madelyn,” O’Brien expressed, alluding to their continued adventures as a family.
Kate’s birthday weekend was an occasion that brought the family back to the Orlando location, a place that has become synonymous with joy and celebration. According to O’Brien, the resort staff has played a significant role in crafting memorable experiences for the children, ensuring each trip is filled with wonder and delight. “They make us feel completely at home every time, and we hope this is something we’ll continue for years,” she said.
The family’s commitment to the Four Seasons brand extends beyond Orlando, with visits to several of the group’s properties around the world. O’Brien noted that recent trips included stays in London, Hampshire, Nevis, Whistler, Los Angeles, Fort Lauderdale, and even an unplanned excursion to Miami to evade a hurricane. Each of these experiences was met with the same level of outstanding service, which the family has come to expect and cherish.
“Over the past year and a half, we’ve been fortunate to create memories across various Four Seasons locations,” O’Brien remarked with gratitude. With their next holiday planned for summer, which may include attending a concert, they are eager for more experiences filled with joy.
During their most recent stay in Orlando, Kate relished time spent at the pool, a testament to her love of water-based activities. “If given her choice, she’s in the pool all day,” O’Brien explained. Poolside, the little girl has unlocked new swimming skills, indulged in snacks from the cabana, frequented the ice cream shop, and enjoyed unique dining experiences with characters from beloved children’s shows—culminating in fireworks each evening.
In a delightful turn of events, O’Brien shared that Kate’s fame has also led to some amusing recognitions in real life. “It’s honestly quite surreal,” she said, noting how often they encounter fans in various locations, from airports to local shops. Kate’s sister, Madelyn, amusingly highlights their connection to fame, referring to Kate as the “Four Seasons baby” to her peers, adding a light-hearted twist to their celebrity status.
Despite her viral fame, Kate likes to keep things grounded, often stating she is “not famous.” Her aunt describes her as a typical child, one who enjoys the simple pleasures of life, while also thriving on social interactions—all enhanced by the delightful experiences at the Four Seasons.
As the Wise family continues to explore the world and share their adventures, they remain deeply appreciative of the memories created and the magic of each visit, which are amplified by the Four Seasons’ commitment to excellence and attention to detail. From custom gifts to various surprises tailored to Kate and her sister, every trip is adorned with thoughtfulness that resonates with the family.
With TikTok as a platform for their joyful experiences and the promise of more adventures on the horizon, it is clear that Kate Wise, affectionately known as the “Four Seasons Baby,” will continue to delight audiences and family alike with her charming adventures in the years to come.
