Golden Oak Homes at WDW

[boilerbabe]

I just need to go in to my spare change drawer, we will be able to buy a mail box flag in Golden Oak.

It's a start sweetie!

Personally I don't like the idea of exclusive residences at WDW. I just don't believe that Walt would go for this as it caters to just the elite few. To me, that's not what Disney is all about. -- tory

Tory - I absolutely agree with you, as I don't think this is what Walt envisioned for his parks. However, if I was able to afford one of them, I wonder if my attitude would change on the subject...

If I had a friend who owned one...you best be believin' I'd be on my way there already.

Kind of makes me wonder about Celebration?

I think it may just get you a loose screw from the mailbox. That flag is gonna cost a lot more $$$$....

I think the development is neat but hate how into real estate Disney is these days.

The homes look lovely but I think I'd rather have a residence on the beach in FL and still stay on property when I go to wdw. I feel like living RIGHT THERE would make wdw less special. Plus during the busy times of year, everything (restaurants, grocery, etc) around your house is so crowded!

Great point! I never thought about how crowded things can get just being around WDW! Also how prices are never stable because of being there.

I'm guessing gas prices would always be a bit on the high side as well...I guess that does it, I'm cancelling my down-payment on a lot...

LOL!

Yeah, I live in a city that gets a lot of snowbirds and things are just different when the vacation crowds are in town. Not complaining b/c the snowbirds are vital to the economy here, but as a year-round resident the city has a different feel when it's high season.

I would imagine disney is the same, except there is no low season. Think about it, the restaurants would always have an hour+ wait, the grocery store is expensive and often crowded, people are driving slow b/c they don't know the area....
At least Celebration is far enough out of it that those people don't share grocery stores and restaurants with the average disney visitor.

Yea but then you'd have to live in Celebration! YUK!!! It's like Stepford!
