News Reedy Creek Improvement District and the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District

[scottieRoss]

Golden Oak near Port Orleans is on property. The homeowners whose homes range from $5M - $30M live in the gated community. Most if not all are not Disney execs some using Golden Oak as their second or third residence.

Golden Oak is a few things
1. not within the District. The land was de-anexed from the district.
2. The homes are not on Disney Property. The land was sold to the residents. It is their land.
3. Not mostly composed of Disney Executives.

THANK YOU! I don’t know about this thread but SO many people think it’s part of RCID (I won’t call the district by its new stupid and long name).

Exactly. It's an exclave of unincorporated Orange County with an Orlando address surrounded by the district.

Former WDW Pres George K who started as a busboy at the Contemporary was with fellow CM Andy Hardy planning to build a home at Golden Oak several years ago , current NBA player and Disney fan Brooke Lopez has a home at GO.

Good for them. Why does it matter that they live near the District?

So a no longer Disney executive thought about building a home there and a NBA player has a home there. What does this mean?

Golden Oak is circled in blue badly by me. The red line is the boundary of the RCID property.

Not difficult to realize they have the funds to purchase a home at GO. George K was planning to build a home while still working as a CM.

They have the money, but most Disney executives live in California or NY - not Florida.

Unless you're referring to WDW executives. Well, in that case let me inform you: An overwhelming majority of them live in Windermere (real Windermere), Dr Phillips, or Winter Park - not Golden Oak.

No one said most live at GO. To live in Winter Park and commute to LBV? Good luck and pack some patience with the long commute during rush hour but at least they can drive the company issued cars if they choose and expense the gas back to the company.

What does this have to do with the District?

Most if not all are not Disney execs some using Golden Oak as their second or third residence.

Naming two execs who possibly live in GO, and a basketball player who lives in GO does not, in any way, support your contention that most homes in GO are owned by Disney execs.

I say that because you seem to think it does.

 

[mkt]

To live in Winter Park and commute to LBV?\

And they do it.

IME, having grown up in the area with their kids, most live in Windermere/Dr Phillips, a few also in Winter Garden now that it's gone upscale, but there's still a handful that I personally know that schlep from Winter Park and the greater downtown Orlando area.

I guess something about quality of life, or amenities, or walkable areas.

Incorrect. I never said your statement.

I won't stoop to your level of name calling and accusations. A fire can't burn without fuel.

Your post that I replied to implied that most were Disney Execs with second or third homes there.

Incorrect. Read my post again.

Guys, Lilofan said GO was mostly execs, they were wrong. Now, they seem to understand GO is not mostly execs. Miscommunication/confusion solved.

Is that a joke or real quote? It's so hard to tell these days.
