Are you a lover of everything Disney? Do you take your yearly family vacation to Disney World in Florida or Disneyland in California? If you are the type of person who loves everything, Disney, then you will be happy to know that you can purchase a home within Disney World. The Walt Disney Company finally decided to try its white-gloved, four-fingered hand at real estate development. After all, what could be better for any Disney lover who loves to visit the Magical Kingdom than to actually live there?
Yes, you can now live within the confines of Disney World by purchasing a home in the gated community of Golden Oak, Florida. The Walt Disney Company has set aside a vast tract of land on Lake Buena Vista. This stretch of property is adjacent to the theme park and has been open to buyers since 2011. This article will discuss some of the interesting facts that have come to light about Golden Oak, Florida.
The majority of homes have been purchased by homeowners who want to vacation in the area, but there are a few homeowners who live in Golden Oak year-round. The 980-acre parcel will eventually house up to 450 homes. Unfortunately, there will only be a few of these homes that have a view of the nightly Cinderella Castle Fireworks. The starting price to own a home in this exclusive area is approximately $1.7 million, but there have been homes that have sold for over $7 million.
Homeowners can expect to pay an annual fee of up to $12,000 which will cover door-to-park transportation, park passes, membership at the Golden Oak clubhouse and restaurant, extended visiting hours for attractions, concierge services, and entrance to dining rooms and the spa at the Four Seasons Resort. It is interesting to note that many of the homes have been sold to Brazilians who can fly from Sao Paulo directly to Orlando.
The Walt Disney Company has turned a blind eye to many of the trademark violations that have occurred in the dwellings. Some of these trademark violations include homeowners using Mickey Mouse door carvings or backlit tray ceilings that are in the shape of a Donald Duck head. Also, many homeowners are incorporating “hidden Mickeys” throughout their home. One home, in fact, has used more than 75 “hidden Mickeys” throughout the house.
Yes, if you truly love everything Disney then you may want to consider the perfect happy ending by purchasing a home in Golden Oak, Florida.
