The structures stayed mostly empty for quite a long time--at one time hosting about 1,000 "residents" who were part of the Walt Disney World college internship program. Essentially, what started as a grand dream was pissed away on some horny college kids. Eventually they just gave up, tore the place down and the site is now the Saratoga Springs Resort and Spa.
It's like Hell on Earth.
It would seem that Roy's dream--and mine--has been resurrected, Zombie-like. Allow me to show you my dream home:
Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's boring in that "I live in Florida and wear my pants up to my armpits" kind of way. But here is what makes that house super-duper-freakishly awesome:
Do you see what I'm seeing? Not only is this house a scant 3 miles from the Magic Kingdom theme park, but it also has a freakin' interior pool with the house wrapped around it. That and you can also buy the until-now-only-rumored Disney VIP pass that allows the passholder and 4 (!) friends free entry to the park--every park!--for life!
Now, there are some definite draw-backs. The house costs $1.7 million and that is without the "optional pool". And there is something like $12,000 a year in neighborhood association fees. And there is the heat. Anyone who has ever seen me walk 50 yards in heat and humidity knows that I need to bring along several canteens to rehydrate myself on the trip.
But my God. Disney! House! Pool! Epcot!
Krishni really, really needs to win the lottery.
