If you run the math, 26 people buying into one of the cheapie $1.5M
is $57,700. Plus expenses, taxes, etc, $75K. How much does $75K
get you in DVC? (And remember, you actually own something in
Golden Oaks...) (There would still be maintenance fees, and you'd
need someone to clean the place up every week or two weeks, when the
previous RADP slobs leave. I don't think you get mousekeeping
there, and I'm sure I don't want to have to clean the bathroom as
one of the first things I do when I go to WDW...)

Still something to think about. It's a pretty exclusive
neighborhood, and I'm sure Disney wouldn't allow it... :-)

Which ones? A $8M one for the main crib, and the $1.5M one when you
want to go slumming? Or be more conservative, and buy say 2-$5M
properties side by side?

They say you can get your own architect. Wanna make a bet $8M is
*not* the high number?

>I wonder if I could stay at one using DVC points?

Sorry, you've just become a second class citizen. (I think that makes
me a 5th class citizen, or something...)

Keane, who is accepting donations to try to get the 25K just to get
on the list...

I'd stay in the $8M and use the $1.5M shack as a garage. Maybe let the
in-laws stay there when they're in town.

Sure! Do you want the free dining plan with that? How about front of
the line passes? That's the least they can comp you!

I just got home from work, and the first link worked for me just fine.
The second link just brought the same thing up.

But since I am in reply mode, one thought: Buena Vista has never had
residents until now, so no one could vote up things that Disney would
not like, and Disney maintained complete control. Will Disney have a
mandatory covenant and homeowners association tied to these homes to
ensure its current operation? And if so, what could potentially happen
to anyone who tries to break the covenant? I'm really curious how this
will effect Disney's status on Buena Vista?
