I have lived in Celebration, the town that Disney developed, for 10 years and I love it! You know that whenever Disney puts their mark on something, it is going to be extraordinary.
Now, they are developing an exquisite community that is located inside Disney…nestled between The Magic Kingdom and Epcot! This luxurious neighborhood is known as “Golden Oak”, named after a ranch in California where Walt Disney used to go to continue dreaming and using his imagination to create what is now known as “the most magical place on Earth”.
“Golden Oak” will be a gated community situated on 980 acres, with almost half of the acreage consisting of conservation land. It will ultimately be filled with 450 luxury residences that will range in price from $1.5 to $8 Million. It will be comprised of gorgeous, custom single family homes and lovely, Tuscan-style courtyard homes.
The families who purchase in “Golden Oak” will buy a beautiful lot to have their dream home built upon. The first release of these desirable homesites is taking place now, with less than 30 being offered at this time.
Residents of “Golden Oak” will enjoy many amenities including private VIP transportation; theme park benefits; special event tickets; exclusive community activities; concierge services; a private clubhouse featuring fine dining and upscale fitness facilities; and access to the largest “Four Seasons Resort” in North America. The “Four Seasons Resort”, that is planned for this brilliant community, will boasts an 18-hole golf course, restaurants, and a relaxing spa.
As a real estate broker in Florida, it would be my pleasure to send you more information on this extravagant piece of the most magical place on earth and to accompany you on a private tour of the area. Please feel free to contact me at Sandy@SandySellsFlorida or at 407.592.HOME (4663).

Celebration and Google…now that sounds like a powerful combination!! Google began as a research project by Larry Page and Sergey Brin and their new technology quickly changed the face of the Internet. Celebration began as a dream of Walt Disney’s…a place where people could live, work, & play…and quickly changed the face of communities everywhere!
Google is planning to launch an experiment that they hope will make Internet access better and faster for everyone. They plan to test ultra-high speed broadband networks in one or more trial locations across the country. Their networks will deliver Internet speeds more than 100 times faster than what most Americans have access to today, over 1 gigabit per second, fiber-to-the-home connections. They are promising to offer service at a competitive price to at least 50,000 and potentially up to 500,000 people.
From now until March 26th, Google is asking for communities to be nominated for their high fiber project. I hereby nominate my community…Celebration, Florida! In my opinion, Celebration would be a prime location for Google to test their network. Just like the founders of Google, the developers and residents of Celebration pride themselves on being on the cutting edge! Our community is founded on five cornerstones…education, health, community, architecture, and technology.
Because of Disney’s influence, Celebration is known around The World and is visited [and loved] by many…making it the perfect place for Google to showcase it’s project.
Like me, many residents work from home and would utilize and appreciate having this advanced technology. And, because many of us are active and vocal in social media and other avenues of communication, we would be a great group to help “get the word out” to our associates, friends, fans, followers, and tweeps!
It would also be cost-effective for Google since fiiber has been installed in many of the neighborhoods here (with only the last 30 feet to the house remaining) and since we are a high-density community.
I have lived in Celebration for 10 years and enjoy it’s charm and beauty. I am looking forward to raising my 3 year old son here and can only imagine what advances await him in education. As a parent, I feel that it is important that I do what I can to support his future and am, therefore, asking for Google’s consideration of Celebration for this exciting experiment.
Besides, Google…you will LOVE it here…just like I do!!!
Readers: If you would like to nominate Celebration for the Google high-speed internet experiment (you do not need to be a resident), simply go to
http://www.google.com/appserve/fiberrfi/public/options and click on the “nominate your community” button.

If you do not have one, please go to
http://mail.google.com/signup. Nominations must be received by March 26th. Thank you for your support and be sure and visit Celebration soon…you will love it too!!
