Interesting that the Four Seasons will provide many of the amenities.
I hope that they de-annex. Having subdivisions on the property sure could change things.
Celebration is still a very nice looking community, but it isn't what it was supposed to be. The homes are still very pricey there. When Disney owned it, they had strict rules on what you can do to your home. You could only paint it the colors they wanted, only put up certain decorations in your yard for holidays. I am not sure if they are still that way since taken over.Oh my!! I didn't know that about Celebration! I remember visiting there with my family when they were still building the homes and my parents were considering buying a small home. They ended up deciding against it because of the price.....good thing they did!
Like what kind of subdivisions?
I know you are serious but I cannot help but think they will have their "low income area" where the homes are only 1.5 million.... then they have their upper income area where the homes are 10+ million.....
I'm sure that any subdivisions will be pricey. I wouldn't expect low income housing.
"According to reports on the local news, these homes would not be for use as a primary residence. They would be vacation homes only and the owners would not be allowed to rent them out to others".
So these homes are only supposed to be "vacation" homes... not lived in year round? How is Disney going to know when someone is living in it, I didn't think you could sell a home to someone then tell them they could not live in it year round.
OK, I am a blonde & do confuse easily.. this really has me stomped. Are they going to have certain times of the year they can be occupied??? And if they are going to be having neighborhoods, they have to have people living in the homes or you would just have a bunch of vacant homes (like what I have in my area....some are vacation homes & some are foreclosures ) I know by me, many people own a home here and one up north. They come here from around Thanksgiving to Easter.. then head back north. I cannot see that in Disney though. Disney is a tourist area year round, mine isn't.
Ok, I actually read an entire article on this. I know I skimmed thru earlier..
I see where they do say "vacation homes" but then they also say this...and this gives me the feeling it may be more than just a vacation home.....they are comparing it to homes near Williamsburg Bush Gdns from the same builder.....
A fortunate few? The super rich. Homes start at $1.5 million and go all the way up to $8 million. Again, Kingsmill has done it in the past and continues to do it, but the allure of the area isn't the theme park. In fact a lot of residents often complain of the noise that the park brings on summer nights, and will complain even more when the Illuminights program starts bringing fireworks to the park at 9p.m. nightly. Many new projects are met with opposition from Kingsmill residents because of either the "eyesore" the noise levels of screaming guests or the traffic to the surrounding areas. If what the official site says is true, it's going to be even worse for residents of Golden Oak. Magic Kingdom sometimes runs fireworks twice nightly, plus parades with loud music. True there are only two outdoor attractions that might evoke enough screams to disturb the neighbors, but they are minor coasters and on the other side of the park. The biggest thing is that it will have the fireworks. Great for the first week, but what about the other 51 weeks? Imagine hearing Wishes every single night. Now imagine you have to be at work the next morning, or even better you have kids who have school.
That's actually pretty funny! I live behind the Magic Kingdom. I am probably as close to the Magic Kingdom as the Golden Oak subdivision will be. I hear Wishes every night...yet I don't. After awhile, you just don't notice it most of the time. Some nights, I hear it, but many nights it doesn't even register.
You live in Windermere don't you? I thought that was a little further out on Apoka- Vineland, compared to being next to Ft Wilderness... hey, you are Tiger's neighbor I just remembered that is where he lives too... I think the article is just stating how those that live near Williamsburg do complain and that maybe those that will be in Golden Oak may too being that they really are on Bay Lake, right across from the MK and will hear it echoing...
My friend has a place off Sand Lake (west of I-4) & she can hear Universal's fireworks during the summer.. She doesn't live there year round. That is her weekend home. Her "regular" home is on Hilton Head.. another vacation spot..
