They also just filed a permit with the South Florida Water Management district for "mass grading" for future development.
Yes, that is for my house.

No doubt you came out ahead financially by not buying that ticket.
But I'm in the same boat - I'd need a lottery winning to ever afford Golden Oak.

...But winning a lottery and having that MAGICAL dream come true of living there would be awesome! Wonder if you are living there ALL THE TIME, I wonder if it would get "OLD" for most people!? After working there for a year at Magic Kingdom and Epcot, seeing the firework and parades everyday for a year...it made me appreciate the details more than I would if I just vacationed a week a year! Disney ruined fireworks for me! Once you have been accustomed to Disney fireworks, once you come home and don't have the constant shows every night, its a BIG let down!

I must be in the minority. In no way would I want to live in disneyworld. My cut off is 10 consecutive days and even that is daunting.

I'm with you, I wouldn't want to live there. If I hit the lottery I would use the money to rent out a park for an evening to have it all to my self.

We just returned from a 10-day Disney vacation (included a 3-night cruise in the middle), and we are Disney'd out for a while.

If I were to win the lottery I'd be in Golden Oak in a heartbeat. I can't fathom getting "tired" or "burnt out" when it comes to WDW.
As it stands, my retirement plans are to purchase a vacation home in the vicinity (not quite Golden Oak, but I'll be happy) and winter at WDW. I'll still spend my summers in Canada.

LOL in 2009 I did (solo) a 7 day carnival cruise to bahamas, puerto rico, turks and caicos, and 2 other islands. Arrived back in Miami then had the nerve to fly to Orlando for a 7 night/8 day disneyworld (solo) vacation. The cruise I loved but by day 3 of disney I was ready to go home.
Now I do not mix cruise with disney and I have reduced my number of days at the world. I now think 5 nights max are perfect because it makes me want more vs extended vacations then I left bored.

Other than these looking like beautiful homes, I just don't get the attraction to living in a neighborhood that happens to be on Disney property. They're not getting any of the benefits of staying at a Disney resort, but all the cost and then-some.
If I had the money to afford one of these, I think I'd rather stay in concierge suites for a few weeks a year and build my dream home overlooking a beach or in the mountains.

I have lived in O-town for almost a year now.
15 minutes away from Disney is close enough. Besides, the closer you are to Disney, the further from real things. I would much rather drive 15 minutes to a theme park that 15 minutes to a haircut. Or a grocery store. Or a Burger King.

I am also waiting for my big win, and be able to see out my later life living there. I could pop over to one of the parks and us my 3 Fasspass+ and then pop home again. As things stand we will have to carry on with going for a fortnight at least in one go. In my head DVC is a stepping stone to Golden Oaks. LOL

And really, it's a neighborhood that happened -- past tense -- to be on Disney property. Once they sell a house, it's no longer on Disney property. It's not like you will be getting RCID voting rights. In that sense, it's like Celebration. It's a neighborhood that is build on land Disney once owned.

I'd take a few weeks in a 1-Bedroom Grand Floridian Villa.

Actually, residents get all the benefits of resort guests and more. EMH and purchases delivered to the Summerhouse are among the benefits listed:
