Monday July 12th, 2010 08:21 Disney World To Build Luxury Homes

The question you have to ask yourself is how much do you REALLY love Disney.  Enough to pay luxury costs for an estate on the amusement park’s property?  Well then, wish granted!

Apparently Disney World is allocating some of their property for new luxury home construction. According to recent reports out of Florida, Disney is planning on building a gated community called Golden Oaks which will eventually see up to 400 new luxury homes.

Prices for the estates will start at $1.5 million and go up from there to at least $8 million.  We’re sorta of unclear on where these homes would be located, given the small amount of space left inside the park itself for such extravagance.
