I gotta say, I'm kinda intrigued by this Disney venture into lifestyle communities 
. As someone who's grown up with Disney, it's wild to think about waking up every morning to a home that's been designed with their brand in mind. The prices are steep, I know, but for those who've got the means and are willing to shell out $1.3 million+
, maybe it's worth the splurge.
I can see how this would appeal to baby boomers and Gen X who grew up with Disney - it's like they're bringing a piece of their childhood into adulthood
. And let's be real, who wouldn't want to live in a community that feels like a luxury resort? The amenities sound amazing
, from the table-service restaurant to the wellness center.
But what I'm really curious about is how these communities will evolve and meet the needs of their residents
. Will it feel more like a Disney theme park than actual homes? And how will Disney balance its branding with giving residents some breathing room? The initiation fee for the Artisan Club is pretty steep, too - only $20k or $19k for two members
.
I guess we'll just have to wait and see how this whole thing plays out
