Sales began in January and homes are currently under construction in the one-of-a-kind community located at Walt Disney World Resort. Strong interest from buyers prompted Golden Oak to make available most of the estate, grand estate and village homesites in the initial phase of the 980-acre community.

Whether from the United States, South America or Great Britain, interested buyers all have something in common: a strong affinity for Walt Disney World Resort and a desire for a retreat where family and friends can enjoy time together creating lifelong memories.

Families who close on the purchase of a homesite or completed home in the exceptional luxury community before December 31, 2011 will receive

One complimentary five-year VIP Pass for the homebuyer, providing admission for the Passholder and up to four guests. The special Golden Oak VIP Pass will allow admission to all four Walt Disney World Theme Parks, Water Parks,DisneyQuest Indoor Interactive Theme Park and ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex every day of the year with no block-out dates.

Also included are complimentary parking for one car and discounts up to 20% on select merchandise purchased at selectWalt Disney World Resort Parks or Downtown Disney area locations.

“The dream of families buying homes at Golden Oak is unique access to Disney,” said Page Pierce, vice president, Golden Oak at Walt Disney World Resort. “We’re excited to offer these incredible VIP benefits to homeowners in what is a truly one-of-a-kind community.”
