Whoa. This is for the Disney fanatic among us. Private homes, in a private setting. $10,000 year homeowners dues, with a long list of restrictions. Homes START at $1.8 mil. But, ya get a few tickets each year for the park... :lol:
 
Just what I need, another Mickey Mouse HOA.

I guess they'd have fun board meetings, though.

I've never understood the point of these "communities," personally. To me, they combine the worst aspects of home ownership and renting. But hey, to each his own.

My friend who runs in all these Disney races and snorts pixie dust thanked me for forwarding the link to her. So I am forwarding u her thanks. Serious. No joke.
 
I got kids. I took them to central FL. We did a lot of fun stuff, and had a great time each visit.

I never spent one dime at a Disney property. Nothing wrong with their business model, cause they are making good revenue and that's the 'mericun way, but we did fine without them.
 
It is one way to get the grand kids to visit, if you have the money (and grand kids).
 
I think I could go to work and have meetings with Goofy, grumpy, and dopey. Don't need an expensive house for that! :p

Many years ago I was working at JPL and set up a technical session for visiting college faculty at Disney's amusement park development office (backwater area under the 101 in Glendale where you wouldn't even want to go with armed guards). Director was a retired Army O6 civil engineer. As he explained about doing business all over the world, Orlando was the easiest. No taxes, no dealing with the county commissioners, etc. If Disney needed money (e.g. raise taxes) for anything for maintenance, etc, they just raised the entrance fee.

Guess that's what happened last week when the front door ticket went up to $100 or so.
 
Disney seems to want to take over central Florida. They already have structured communities. Guess they think there not getting enough of the upper money.
 
No F-ing thank you. I've had enough Disneyland to last me the rest of my natural life and even then into zombiness. I would go freakin' nuts hearing endless loops of "It's a Small World" day in and day out.

It would make me homicidal.
 
Grrrr. Thanks for that. Now it's stuck in there and I gotta go stream 'Welcome to the Jungle' for a while to get it out. :lol:

Did you really have to post that? Talk about an ear worm.
 
When I was a real estate agent in Colorado a few years ago, I lined up a showing for one of my buyers. I practiced in a rural area, and this house was on a few acres, up in the mountains, didn't seem out of the ordinary as we were driving up to it and walking up to the door.

But once I unlocked it and stepped inside... Almost every interior appointment was Disney themed.

In the kitchen were dishes, cutlery, glasses, tea kettle, etc, all with Disney themes.

In the living room they had something like woven throws over the sofa and chairs with Disney characters on them. Shelf with tons of Disney books, VHS tapes, and DVDs.

All around the house, pictures and posters on the walls of Disney characters.

In the bedrooms, the sheets, comforters, pillow cases...all Disney. Disney stuffed characters everywhere.

In the bathrooms, Disney themed toothbrushes, towels, shower curtains, etc.

It was seriously overwhelming. We literally spent more time and effort gawking at all the Disney paraphernalia than we did looking at the house. I was trying my best to point out features of the home, but it was next to impossible with a Donald Duck or Mickey Mouse item staring at you everywhere you looked.

I remember later, when the listing agent called me to find out what my buyers thought of the home, I had to tell her honestly there was no way most buyers could look past all that and see the house itself. It was Disney overload.

Strangest showing I ever had. I'll never forget that.
 
Disney built a community called Celebration, som eyears ago and had a rough go of it when many of the home owners simply ignored their over the top, control freak, behavior. It got so toxic that Disney sold their interest several years ago and the new owners are just about as toxic.

I can't understand why they want to go int it again, unless they already have the exit strategy buyer, lined up.

I will say they built the crappiest finished homes I have ever seen.
