So.. I was looking this new lottery - Millionaire for Life -- the top prize is a million bucks a year for 25 years.

That got me thinking.. Ok. Let's say I wanted to 'live' at Disney hotels. How much would that cost.

Well.. not as much as I thought at first.

A high season rate for a tower room at Contemporary is 550$ a night. So a year there would cost about $200,750.

A high season rate for a basic room at the Grand Floridian is 720$ a night.. So a year there would cost about $262,800.

A million dollars would buy you 11,363 DVC points at 88$ a point.

That's enough points to give you the full year .. EACH YEAR.. in a studio thru 2054 at Saratoga Springs with about 4000 points left over each year for special occasion upgrades.

Ahhh.. to dream.

Of course, you could just buy a house in Orlando. But what fun would that be.

Kelly:

Thanks.

Of course I could cheap out and stay at a Value resort... at 131 a night it's a bargain at $47,815 a year.

Hmm.. The Disney Dining Plan is a bargain too. 39$ a day for a year is only $14,235 ... and I'd never have to buy groceries. :)

I'll let you know which resort I choose!
And you can ALL come and stay for a week here or there!!
:rotfl2:
 

It got me wondering if you had enough money ... if the DVC people would just 'sell or lease you' the use of the accomodations of the DVC properties for your perpetual use ?
 
Hey CanadianGuy - looks like we will be in WDW at the same time! I just booked this morning for a quickie Mon-Fri stay
 
Oh cool -- we're stayin at Pop Century. We got the 40% off email.

See if I won that, I think I would buy 2 house in Celebration. One for DH and DS and myself and the other would be for guests to come and stay when they visit WDW.
 
Disney Mama:

If you win.. I ask only for a reasonable 100,000$ in Disney dollars for referring you to the lottery.

Hee hee hee
 
ZING : Score one for Mama ... CanadianGuy = ZERO.

Neat Lottery, but how much are the tickets?
I love to dream but not if they are $100 a ticket.
 
One Ticket = 5$. Three for 10$ or seven for 20$.

I got three for 10$.

If I can't win with three.. I probably won't win with seven either. :)

Hey Mama - I see you're in New Brunswick too .. I could drive you your check from my winnings! hahahaha.

J
 
CanadianGuy- I'll PM you after you....I mean I win.:thumbsup2 I will also buy three tickets to keep it even.
 
Looks like you're going to SSR the week after we back from POP.

:)
