Disney's Newest Project? Multi-Million Dollar Homes at the Magic Kingdom

If your dream has always been to grow old with Mickey Mouse and his pals down in Florida, you may just be in luck. Regardless, you better start saving towards that retirement dream ASAP, as it doesn’t come cheap to move in next door to the Magic Kingdom.

Disney’s latest money maker isn’t a theme park and it’s way more than just shilling some new timeshares, as now they’re offering actual housing options just minutes away from the magic. We realize this could be heaven on earth for some, but at the same time understand that it could be hell for others. We’re just giving you the facts, and you can decide for yourself. However, those in the market for a new home might want to take a look at Golden Oak at Walt Disney World Resort.

Developers are promising that the whistle from the train over at the Magic Kingdom can be heard from your yard, so there’s really no way to get much closer. The fun comes at a price, as these properties range from like a million bucks to over eight million, and that’s cold hard cash, not Disney dollars. If you have some rich grandparents looking for something in the Sunshine State, it might be a good idea to get them on the mailing list. Just make sure to plant the right seeds, as they’ll have to choose from Carolwood, Silverbook, or Kimball Trace—which is a charming Tuscan-inspired village with courtyard homes, or so says the Mouse.

The first lots and homes got under development last year, and it sounds like things will be ready to go for the first time later this year. Some of the crazy benefits include door-to-door transportation between your Disney estate and the parks, and they are even ultra-fancy season passes allowing you and your crew better-than-everyone-else access. You can also expect the characters to make appearances within your little Disney-fied community, but we think they draw the line at Mickey flippin' burgers at your next backyard get together.

It's kind of crazy to say the least, but if we won the Powerball...
