PICS: Wanna live at DISNEY WORLD? - Now YOU CAN!!!
JLA
> Today Disney has revealed plans for Golden Oak, a new luxury
residential resort community allowing families to actually purchase a
home at the Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Fla.
>
> Located southeast of the Magic Kingdom and north of Epcot (marked
by an icon on the map below), the exclusive Golden Oak community will
offer a single family custom homes priced between $1.5 and $8 million.
Less than 30 home sites will be available for sale this year, so space
is quite limited. The home designs have been created by Walt Disney
Imagineers, making them dream homes for any Disney fan. The gated
community will feature intimate neighborhoods and amenities within
the entire 980-acre footprint.
>
> We have a range of options for guests at all price points to enjoy
the Walt Disney World Resort. But Golden Oak is something totally new:
a residential resort community, right in the heart of the magic, said
Matt Kelly, vice president, Disney Resort Real Estate Development.
Golden Oak will be a place where families can come together and make
memories for generations to come with Disney World right at their
doorstep.
The proposed private clubhouse, (pictured below) concierge services
and collection of Walt Disney World Resort benefits will bring
Disney s guest service culture directly to Golden Oak residents. As
previously announced, Golden Oak is planned to include Four Seasons
Resort Orlando at Walt Disney World Resort, combining Disney s
renowned service and hospitality with Four Seasons defining standard
of excellence. Golden Oak plans to offer residents access to select
Four Seasons future amenities including the full-service spa,
restaurants, golf course and event space.
Golden Oak will initially consist of three different types of
single-family homes. Village Homes will feature Mediterranean style
homes on sites up to one-quarter acre, Estate Homes will include
architectural styles like Tuscan, Spanish Revival, Venetian,
Italianate, Dutch Colonial and Island Colonial on approximately
one-half-acre home sites and Grand Estate Homes, on home sites up to
three-quarters-acre in size, will feature architectural styles
consistent with Estate Homes.
With so few homes available within Golden Oak, many are already
curious if they will actually be lived in or if investors will simply
grab them up, hoping to rent them as vacation homes. I asked about the
possibility of rentals and Disney spokesman Benjamin Thompson told me,
Short term rentals will not be allowed at Golden Oak, but longer term
rentals (great than 6 months) will be permitted. So vacation homes
are out of the question for this exclusive sub-community of Walt
Disney World.
Beyond the obvious benefits of living so close to Disney s theme parks
and entertainment offerings, Thompson also told me that residents of
Golden Oak will also receive an exclusive package created expressly
for Golden Oak residents will include in-park benefits, private VIP
transportation, access to select special-event tickets and
community-hosted activities throughout the year. No word as to
whether the in-park benefits will include free admission to the
Walt Disney World theme parks.
