View Full Version : Would you sell the castle?

OK, don't blast me, this is just a hypothetical. :rotfl:
If you were awarded a night in the castle and some one offered to buy it off you (assuming Disney would allow it) would you accept and how much money would it take for you to sell?
I don't know what I would do. It would certainly take a lot of money to give up a once in a lifetime experience like that! Maybe if some one offered me enough to pay for my next Disney trip. This Disney addiction of mine is getting expensive! :lmao:

Not a chance. That is a once in a lifetime thing. My wife would divorce me if I tried to sell it.

I don't know..if I couldn't stay there and was allowed to, I'd give it away, but I don't know if I could charge anyone. What if they don't have lots of money? I think I would feel better just giving it away. I gave away a pair of Yankee tickets I bought this year to a close friend, who took his friend who'd never been to a game before. When I met his friend Sonny, it was such a nice feeling - he was so happy and couldn't stop thanking me for letting him finally go to a game! A bit unrelated, yes, but it was such a nice feeling.

It's a once in a life time thing, I couldn't sell memories.

I'd sell it, but only for the right price and it would be a very steep one. I look at it this way: it's a once in a lifetime dream experience, but it is only one night. If I could get enough money to finance my next year's worth of Disney cruises by selling it (which is usually six cruises...as I said, steep price!), I would see that as a fair trade-off.

The ability to receive a gift is not easy for some. I'm not one of those:cloud9: . I would so be luxuriating and making memories:dance3:

I was thinking abotu soemthing along these lines last night. mY DH and I are going down alone soon. If we were to go to the parks (not planning to) and won the castle night, woud I want to stay there or would I ask if I could pick the person that could stay and give it to a family that looked like they were having a really rough day??
I don't think they'd let me pick so I would probably stay, but if they said yes, I would be on the look out immeadiately.
I wouldn't sell it though, that's just not right!

NO. Reminds me of 'Indecent Proposal'. But consider Disney would not let you sell it, as they have said it is not for sale no matter who or how much.
But if I must play the game...... "I demand one mill....no, one Billion dollars"

Going along with the game pretending that Disney would let me sell it then I would - for a lot of money. But if my kids knew that we had won it, there is no way I could sell it and break their hearts. Even if the kids didn't know, my dh would probably never agree to sell it anyway. I'd be the only one in the family who would want to sell it. I'd pay bills with the money. I think I may be too practical! LOL

i would have to keep it, the person who could afford it might be able to stay in it after the year of a million dreams is up, I probaby couldn't.

I don't think I would. That is a memory I would treasure for the rest of my life and I have dreamed about since I was a kid(and still dream about lol).

I read this and had visions of Slugworth from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory! :lmao:
I would sell it for $15K. It is just 1 night, and I could do so much with that money. Give it away... never! Offer to let someone stay with us... maybe a single mom and child.

No way. But will they refund your money for your original room if you are already staying on property?

$25,000 and it's yours.
hey, i got student loans to pay off.

I'd sell it for enough to come back and stay a week at the Polynesian with park hoppers and the dining plan. So maybe $7000.

I'd have no problem selling it for the right price, but it would be a lot. I wouldn't turn down a stay sure, but it's not at the absolute top of my must-dos-in-life list.
I'm not saying that I am selling memories because they wouldn't be memories at all if I sold the night's stay.

I posted my price earlier but DH informed me that it would NOT be sold at any price so I'll have to keep it from him if I win!

08-12-2008, 06:57 PM
in a heartbeat! i would sell it to the highest bidder, and hope that it would be high.
the prize is considered to be worth about $600, i would take $600 for it. but again i would hope there would be a higher bidder.

Hell to the no!!!!!
I'm keeping it!:rotfl2:

If it were up to the DH, he'd sell it in a flash. Now ME, ....not so sure!
Interesting though......

Nope - I wouldn't sell it, but I have 3 teen-age boys who would probably be horrified to stay in Cindy's castle, so I would ask that it please be given to one of the many Make-A-Wish kids there on any given day and definitely NOT sold to somebody.

If I didn't want it, I'd give it away. I couldn't sell something that was given to me as a special gift.

To answer the question, no, you would not be able to sell the prize of the castle suite if you had happened to win.
But, if I were in the position to sell it? Depends on the price... I'd like to see how much I could get for one night

08-13-2008, 11:27 PM
I did stay there - and I'd probably not sell it. It's something I'll never get to do again.
Tough question! Realistically speaking, we would sell it for a large amount ($25k min but hopefully closer to $100k!) because we are not rich by any means and could use that money for much more important things than one night in the castle. My kids are older now so I think I could get away with it :) If we didn't need the money, we would either keep it or, if feeling very generous that day, would find a suitable family to enjoy it.
Since that was all hypothetical and unrealistic, we would LOVE to stay in the castle and receive the "royal" treatment! Crossing our fingers!

1 years worth of vacations is SIX disney cruises!!! I am doing something wrong....we are having our only vacation this year and my husband is having a hard time being out of town 5 days/4nights!!!!!!:) Good for you!
Maybe one day!

I feel that everyone has their price, even as outrageous an ammount it may take. For me that price would be about $2,500 to $3,000. Roughly the cost of another week long trip. I would love to stay in the castle however I also would rather be there for a whole extra week than one night. I have to be realsitic.

No way! I'd love to stay there! I doubt I could sleep at all if we won it. Like the little kid in the commercial..."I'm too excited to sleep!" :banana:

At this point Disney has said there is no price on it, they will give it away. I would honor their wishes and also, not sell it. Maybe try to find someone more deserving in my mind then myself and give it to them, but not sell it..

08-20-2008, 06:58 PM
Talk about a tough decision! I think i'd sell it on one stipulation, I get to go up and check it out and take pictures. I think i'm more interested in getting to see it first-hand than actually sleeping there.

I'm torn...it's not my ultimate Disney Dream (I would rather see all the Disney parks or get the time share) but since you can't pick and choose, it's not really an issue. If I won it, I would definitely LOVE it!

I agree - now that I have a daughter at UCF paying out of state tuition -- a night in the castle sold at the right place would be very handy.
