Disney Golden Oak Vacation Homes

The Wall Street Journal Online Edition reports that Disney plans to develop a luxury vacation home community within the gates of the theme park. The development features villa homes from $1.5 million on up to several million dollars. This development will be located within the Golden Oak resort and will ultimately be comprised of four different subdivisons/communities. The Golden Oak resort community will be located in the northern quadrant of Disney World on the land of the former Disney Eagle Pines golf links .

On the surface, this does seem puzzling as we possibly enter a “double dip recession”. However, when you scratch the surface, this may give Disney an entryway into the upper-end vacation home villa segment.  Sometimes the best opportunities are at the bottom of a business cycle?

If you are an optimist, and we certainly are, in our opinion the Central Florida market could turnaround in time for the opening of this vacation home resort development, but this may be many years in the future.

Disney always does things first class, and this will be no exception. Celebration, FL is a great example of this dedication to a residential home/lifestyle development. If you are a contrarian, this would be the right time for this strategic move. Our own personal business maxim: Conventional wisdom is rarely correct.
