I thought that since Disney is full of wishes, dreams and fantasy that I would pose a situation that had all three elements...
Here's the story...
You just pulled into your driveway of your not immaculate, but comfortable rented home. You turn your ignition off and the 10 year old car jumps and putters and then coughs to a stop. You then walk in to your home, tired from a 12 hour day, only to do it all over again in another few short hours. You loosen your tie, grab a drink from the fridge and plop down into your recliner that has seen better days! You remember on your way home you stopped at the local gas station to gas up and decided to buy a few lottery tickets, since the jackpot is well over 750 million. You reach into your pocket and place them on the end table next to your chair...you fall into a deep sleep. You wake up just in time for the lottery numbers to be drawn on TV just before the local news! The numbers pop up one at a time, your eyes adjust to see the numbers clearly. You begin to get excited as you see you have 3 of the 6 numbers, then 4, then 5, and then the final 6th number is called. You realize you have matched all 6 numbers. YOU JUST WON THE LOTTERY! The total jackpot $1Billion and some 'change'...you opt to take a lump sum of $800Million. YOU ARE HAPPY!

If money were no object, what would your next Disney vacation look like!? Obviously, this is just for fun and to wish and dream about it! Let your imagination begin!

I'm sure I sound totally lame, but I don't think my Disney vacation would look much different in terms of per person spending (just because I had lots of money doesn't mean I'd stop making value-conscious choices). But you can bet that I'd be taking practically everyone I know (or have ever known) with me, all expenses paid, instead of just close family! "Now seating weather lady, party of 500!" :)

humm, that's a tough one. I would definitely still stay at the Grand floridian or the Beach club. they are simply my favorite resorts. I would bring my entire close family which would be around 40 folks.
So I don't think my vacations would look much different except there would be more of them.

If any thing would be different I would try all the behind the scene tours.

TRIP #1: I would take family and friends, pay for travel and hotel expenses and give them a spending allowance for 2 weeks!

TRIP#2: Would be more of a personal, romantic trip for me (and DH...if he wanted to go) I would stay for 1 month and resort hop between hotels. 2-8 day BASE Tickets, do other non Disney activities as well!

TRIP#3: I would set up a Disney Park Charity that would give deserving families a week in a magical land. Similar to Make-a-Wish, but as a free 'lottery' that families that earn under $30,000 ONLY could enter for free, write and essay of why the deserve a Disney vacation. Choose a winner and give them the choice of Disneyland or WDW! All expenses paid, but spending cash. Trips would be planned out 1+ years in advance, to give families time to save money while still paying their monthly expenses! What good is money unless you spread it around!? I would obviously keep enough money to live comfortably for the rest of my life, take care of family with one time cash deposits!

As for my first trip after a win of that size I’d go to WDW, i’d Book the biggest villa on the lake at the Polynesian, for 3 months. June - August inclusive. There are 7 of us in my wee family lol. Fly business class. Get an annual pass for the parks. And chill out for 3 months without a worry!!
